The force began sweeping him away from the realm. All the while, both eyes of his were still opened, thereby making him see what was going on. But what happened next felt so surreal to him. And it looked like he wasn't just opening his eyes from a dream because right now, he was looking at the ceiling of the hospital room.
The overhead light made it evident that he was in the hospital room. But he was somewhat confused. How could he be looking at the realm and the next second be looking at the ceiling of the hospital room as if nothing had ever happened?
If it was indeed his spirit that had been summoned, then that wasn't how the thing should have worked. It should be him just opening his eyes to the world as if he had been sleeping before.
