Chapter 8: Broken Void
can, trapped in pain and void. feels a low pulse somewhere inside him. too faint to be relevant, too strong to ignore.
but can losses focus instantly. agony taking over once again.
the pulse grows, it starts at his brain. and slowly travels all the way to his toes.
as the pulse covers can's body, can starts to regenerate. starting from his tree of existence, then his soul, and finally his body, but that only brings way for more pain.
the void breaks him again, then he regenerates, then it breaks him once again.
again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.
again again again again again again again again again again again again again.
pain never lessened. you never get used to it. you only learn to ignore it, and so did can.
can stood up, on what? even he didn't know. no longer screaming, no longer showing signs of pain, but instead silent and focused.
can looks into the memories of the spirits. and chooses an ability. Sam's ability.
can rolls up the sleeve of his suit, charges up his fist. and punches. but nothing happens...
can tries again... but nothing happens.
