Al frowned in confusion—then suddenly, a crushing pressure filled the chamber.
"Arghhh… What is this?!" Al groaned, pain surging through his body.
And then—

The world shifted. Reality dissolved.
The entire area transformed into an endless expanse of pure white void.
Al staggered, gasping for air. When his vision cleared, he realized only he and the four Agents remained—alone within this infinite nothingness.
"Where… am I…?" he muttered in confusion, his voice barely a whisper swallowed by the void.
It was as if he was standing beyond the threshold that divided life and death—beyond existence itself.
He tried to steady himself, but a sudden realization made his eyes widen in shock.
"W-Wait… My clothes?! Why am I naked?!" he yelped, frantically covering himself.
The four Divine Agents turned toward him simultaneously.
