Chapter 70: Who are you?!

The silence of the darkness permeated every fiber of Zell's essence. [Okay don't panic.] He said to himself to cry and calm himself down. [Since the outside world didn't appear when the sphere shattered it is safe to assume this is all in my mind. Unless breaking this room somehow broke the world… No, that's impossible.]

Zell started taking deep breaths to try and get himself to relax. [Okay Sunea said I need to clear my thoughts.] He said as he attempted to empty his mind once more.

More deep breaths. Zell hoped focusing slowly on his breathing would calm his mind. As he stood there breathing, he felt a hand grab his shoulder. He jerked away and turned to face whoever had touched him, but all he could see was darkness and nothing else. He tried to speak again but his words were still silent. [Am I not alone?] Zell thought to himself. [Is my other self back again?!]

Confused and uneasy Zell attempted to calm himself with more deep breathing and tried to focus his mind.
