Strained and Limited
The commotion slowly came to a stop and Ryu stood in silence. Many thought that he should feel a great amount of jubilation, but he didn't. In fact, he was enraged with no one other than himself. His mood plummeted and the spatial fluctuations around him only grew fiercer. Many couldn't even get close for fear of what might happen to them in the attempt.
What could be on the other side of those spatial fluctuations? Wouldn't it just be the world that they knew? Even if it was a small world, there was no way that he wouldn't be able to sense her. In fact, if she had long since left his eyes, it should have been at least a year or so in his time, she would have definitely found him by now, no?
