'What happened...?' he wondered, trying to focus.
What he saw next was bewildering.
A vast expanse of white, stretching endlessly in all directions, devoid of landmarks or sound, like a void untouched by time.

He instinctively turned his head at the faint sound of a strange voice that seemed hard to identify.
His gaze shifted toward the source, only to land on an hazy silhouette.
A figure shaped like a girl, painted in flickering mosaics of sky blue, soft pink, and shimmering white.
'No way...'
His heart nearly jump out of his chest at her sight.
"Phantom..." he muttered, his voice a mix of disbelief and elation.
