"Ugh…"
Ves woke up in a daze.
His state of mind was quite weird at the moment.
On the one hand, he barely regained his consciousness. It was as if his mind was muffled by a thick blanket. His awareness was not quite online yet and he struggled to form any coherent thoughts.
On the other hand, Blinky and his other incarnations were in much better shape. They were not affected by the metaphorical blanket and maintained a relatively sober state of mind.
This duality confused his primary consciousness and caused him to experience reality at two different speeds.
"...P…"
He could feel himself groaning, but could not control his reaction. Though he did not know how much time had passed, he eventually managed to shrug off the thick blanket just enough to regain his awareness of the present.
"...Papa…?"
His bleary eyes gradually cleared up. He noticed that he was lying on a large bed in a pristine white medical facility.
