Vale stood in front of the inky door, with Nine by his side, who would watch over his body. Mias was also next to Vale, studying the black door and feeling at the miasmic edges with his gloved hands.
Vale didn't entirely understand what the guy was doing, but after spending five days with him, Vale had learned to let him do his thing.
The timer eventually ticked down to zero, and the door opened on its own.
Mias stepped back and marveled at the sight.
"Fascinating…"
Vale gulped as he looked into the nothingness, then took a step forward and let the darkness consume him.
A moment later… his senses returned, and he found himself in the black void. He began his march toward the table far off in the distance. But as he got closer… something felt off.
The moment he drew close enough to make out the finer details, he learned why he had an off feeling. Sloth was sitting up with her eyes open, staring at him as he approached.
