Bab 408: Not Right

Ryu's eyes fluttered open, only to find that he wasn't in the room he had thought he would be in. 

It took a moment, but he soon realized that this was the Death Worm. But, this realization only confused him. When had he left Osiris? And if he had left Osiris, why was it that his meditation hadn't been broken? After all, Ryu was relying on the formation to block out the Heavens, or, rather, simulate this feeling. So, logically, if he was out of Osiris, he wouldn't have been able to grasp this feeling. 

Unless… Unless this awakening had actually been him snapping out of meditation in the first place?

But why didn't he feel like that? Ryu subconsciously felt as though he had been out of Osiris for a very long time already, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly why he had this feeling or why this intuition seemed to grip him so firmly. 

Just as Ryu was planning on thinking a bit more, a furry ball of white suddenly jumped out and into his arms.
