Inside the 1.4-meter-tall ice sculpture, although White Mask's body was frozen, his consciousness was not entirely lost.
He clearly felt a trembling that shook the earth beneath him.
At first, the vibration was faint, like heavy machinery at work in the distance, but soon, it grew closer and more intense.
The seismic waves were transmitted through the ice layer close to the ground, causing his entire frozen body to resonate slightly, with a faint "buzzing" sound emanating from within the ice crystals.
He couldn't turn his head, his vision was confined to a distorted area ahead due to the refraction of the ice layer.
He couldn't see what was happening outside, only relying on the terrifying vibrations and sounds to speculate.
But he knew the Night Watcher who froze him didn't even have time to completely shatter him and confirm the kill (though he might not have been able to shatter him), before fleeing in a state of utter panic, as if he'd seen a ghost.
