Metalloid

It was dark, very dark, it was cold too. A lone boy sat in this room. He thought it was cold at first, but he didn't think much of it now. He tried to keep track of how long he was here, but as time passed, he soon lost track. The room was darker than pitch-black, well, if that was possible at least.

The boy couldn't feel anything, he couldn't see, couldn't hear, couldn't smell, and couldn't taste anything, not even his saliva - which he thought was weird. Left with nothing but fleeting thoughts, the boy had to make do.

Then something appeared.

A drop of Water

The drop of water odd. The boy tried touching it, but nothing happened, the drop of water remained still. It slowly increased in size, causing it to take more and more of the seemingly limited space he was in.

However, for some reason the boy wasn't afraid, or even agitated. It felt calm around the ever-growing drop of water, as though a soothing melody was being played in the back of his head.

Eventually, he stopped feeling the cold that had been present ever since he appeared in this weird space. It was a great feeling, no longer feeling as though he was butt naked in the middle of a snowstorm was really pleasurable if one thought about it.

More changes kept happening. First of all, the boy had gained some memories it hadn't had before, or should he say that he had regained them? Many memories continuously flooded his mind, from his childhood to his timely death. 

The boy knew of its name now, it was Kai. Kai was happy, the first time he'd felt happy in a very long time. 

The drop of water gradually grew, stopping at the size of around 0.5 meter in height and 0.15 in width. Its form of a water droplet never changing, looking just like a falling water droplet stuck in time.

Suddenly, the world changed, yes, it changed. One moment he was admiring the drop of water that had been accompanying him and then next; a dark cave with luminous crystals scattered everywhere.

Then, his mind started to ache.
