A barrage of questions, like an out-of-control train, barreled into my mind, crushing the fragile "calm" I had just established.
The questions about the world's anomalies, which I had forcibly suppressed, resurfaced in my mind like a boiling swamp, bringing with them more concrete and terrifying details.
"Ugh..."
A wave of unprecedented severe pain swept through my skull, as if countless red-hot iron rods were stirring my brain simultaneously, trying to pry open a sealed-off area.
My vision went black repeatedly, and the blood-red courtyard twisted and spun in my sight, nearly bringing me to my knees.
A completely unfamiliar, mad and raspy voice seemed to awaken in the deepest part of my mind, breaking through the dam and starting to scream and shriek desperately.
It urged me, tempted me, speaking in a language I couldn't comprehend yet found inexplicably familiar, repeating the same frightening, irresistible command.
—Look up! Look at the sun! Now! Immediately!
