Deeper

<sub>He was defeated.

He closed his eyes. All his senses had becoming numb.
The strength gradually left him and he no longer had anything left to fight back.
But even if he still had any, he wouldn't fight back anymore

Why would he?
He had lost everything.

His master. His friends. His world. His path.

And most important of all,
his loved one.

But as he sunk deeper and deeper... he heard a soothing voice. Guiding him back to his senses. Calling him out from the water.

"Asuka, is that you...?"</sub>
