Grey was raptly focused when he suddenly heard the clear sound of a droplet of water falling into a vast pool.
The moment the sound reached his ears, his entire body stiffened as if it had been frozen in place.
The world before his eyes suddenly darkened.
When his vision returned, the surroundings had completely changed.
What appeared before him was an enormous pool of still water. Its surface was calm and silent, stretching endlessly in every direction. The water was so dark and deep that its bottom could not be seen.
A single droplet of water slowly fell from the unseen darkness above.
Plop.
The droplet landed in the center of the pool, creating ripples that spread across the surface in widening circles.
In that instant, Grey felt a strange and indescribable sensation. It was as if his consciousness had sunk into the water itself.
It felt as though he was inside the pool.
