[Chapter 26: Momentary awakening]
You feel that the scenery around you changes. You feel that from the dark and damp dungeon you return to the clean and dry world.
Yes, this is the hospital. The room where Nagisa is hospitalized and sleeping. You're exhausted from watching over him, an unintentionally fell asleep by his side. Yes, you are tired. You've been severely raped in the dreamworld, so your mind and body need a little break. That's why no I will release you from the dream-threshold world and let you return to the real world for just a bit. Of course, when I give my signal, you will come back right away. I'll count to three and snip my fingers. Then you'll open your eyes and wake aup a little bit. And when I snip again, you'll instantly come back to the pleasant world of hypnosis.
Now...
One, two! Three!! Good, wide awake!
Now, try raising your body and moving your limbs. Your head might feel sluggish and and bit heavy, but that can't be helped. Your awareness is still half-way and connected to the dreamworld. But in this state, you can still go to the toilet or drink some water.
Now, please pause this voice play for now. And when you're up to it again, please come back and continue listening.
Welcome back. Did you calm down a little?
Now then, let's bring you back to that comfortable dream threshold. You already know what to do. Dim the lights, lie down and relax. Yes, that is all. Now release your power, and relax your body more and more...
Now to continue the story, I'll count to three and snip my fingers. Then your awareness will once again fall into that world of comfortable hypnosis. May I? Now then...
Oeen, twooo, threeee, yes!
Welcome back. Do you remember where you are? Yes, the hospital. This is Nagisa's sickroom. Nagisa sleeps with a very peaceful look on his face. Can you hear it? Nagisa's breath? When you try to match his breathing, you can once again return to the wondrous adventure world of the Magical Boy Hikaru. Now let's try it.
Inhale, exhale.
Inhale, exhale. Calm down your feelings.
Inhale, exhale. Relax your heart...
Inhale, exhale, *woosh* falling...
Yes, your awareness falls. Just with relaxed breathing, you can fall deeper and deeper, the the old dungeon, where your brother Nagisa is waiting. I'll count from 10 to 0. With every number, your awareness will sink ever deeper. On 0 I'll snip my fingers and you'll stand in the old dungeon again. Now...
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
*woosh* your awareness is completely changed. Changed to a damp and dark space.
This is the dungeon. Further behind this dark corridor is Alter, who is keeping your brother Nagisa prisoner. Now you are back. Let's hurry onward.
