I have been waiting for you

Nine opened his eyes and looked at the pitch-black space around him, with nothing in sight. He rubbed his hand and clearly remembered that the last thing he did was touch Kyle's hand and activate his inherited skill. Afterward, his vision turned blurry.

'What is this place?'

His golden eyes glowed in the midst of darkness as he took a step forward. However, no matter where he looked, he saw nothing but an endless void.

Nine opened his mouth and tried to speak, but as usual, nothing came out.

'Kyle did say his fate is blank... So, this is what he meant when he said I won't be able to see anything.'

He shook his head and started walking in the darkness, waiting for the effect of the spiritual gaze to wear off. The silence was deafening, and in the darkness, he almost felt a little out of place.
