The world around him seemed distorted—overlapping like time had fragmented into separate frames.

Valerius' lips moved, but no sound reached Levi's ears.

The purple energy swirling around Levi crackled like a storm. The intensity of it made it hard to focus. He blinked, trying to shake off the strange sensation.

Valerius appeared in several places at once—some standing, some stepping forward, others still watching. It was as if Levi were seeing multiple timelines converge in one moment. 

His head throbbed painfully. 

The weight of his Lunacy pressed hard against his mind, making it difficult to hold on. The more he tried to focus, the more his surroundings slipped away. His heartbeat pounded in his ears, drowning out everything else.
