A piercing noise filled his ears, and the world around him blended into a blur. Things seemed to move in front of him, but he couldn't tell what was what.
[Dante? Dante! Do you hear me!]
Despite all other sounds reaching him as muffled nothing, one voice seemed strangely clear to him. He recognized the voice, and he soon recalled who it belonged to, leading him to understand why he could hear it.
'Oh… shut up…'
A spark of pain coursed through his body. Dante gritted his teeth and tried to move. His entire nervous system flared, and his brain felt like it had been set on fire. His efforts failed, and he couldn't even push himself up. He tried again, but the results were the same.
'Damn…it… what's… happening…'
His thoughts became fragmented, and he struggled to form a single line.
[It was a car, it...] The voice in his head said. [Dante, it was not an accident. They crashed into you on purpose.]
'Wha… what?'
