"*Sigh*"

A melancholic sigh could be physically heard in a space consisting of myriads of incoherent dark violet constructs

On top of an intersected glowing violet cube, a purple-amber haired girl could be seen lying on her back, her eyes gazing into the 'sky'

The girl seemed to be in deep thought about many unpleasant things, as her face grimaced now and then

Still wearing that faraway expression, the girl stood up, dusting off her clothes on instinct

Then, in front of her, space seemed to part, connecting the blank part in space towards...Somewhere

Anywhere, really

The girl just simply wanted to take a step outside, in order to try to calm the raging storm that her thoughts had become

The girl slowly floated through the black and amber portal

In an instant, the girl, Sirin, could feel the hyperborean air of Siberia slam into her body, as a strong *fwoosh* sound ringed in her ears

Recognizing where her current location really is, she grimaced intensely

I wanted to go literally anywhere in order to try to calm down...But this is where I end up!?

She thought as such while giving a murderous gaze towards the tower that loomed in the distance

The tower, even though it had become similar to decrepit, dilapidated ruins, due to the honkai energy radiation that permeated through the area, still stood tall, much to Sirin's fury

She thought about dealing the final blow

Oh she thought about it alright

She imagined herself causing the earth under that accursed tower to crumble, swallowing the surface, never to be seen again

She imagined herself making the space that the hateful tower resided in implode in a magnificent display of power

But, as much as she wanted to do so, her rational side told her not to

For she would, to her detriment, reveal her survival to the world

It need not be said that that would be too big of a risk. A risk she wasn't willing to take

They had managed to do 'it' once. Yes, it was on tricks, lies and deceit that they relied on, but they still managed to almost kill her

The mere thought of that utterly disgusted her

I̶t̶ ̶a̶f̶f̶i̶r̶m̶s̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶w̶e̶a̶k̶n̶e̶s̶s̶

Sirin shook her head, as if casting her thoughts to the void

She quickly parted the space in front of her, causing a connection with some random point in space to form

Not wanting to keep the tower that loomed over the horizon in her sight no longer, she hastily floated into the black and amber portal

.

The moment Sirin floated out of the portal, she was stunned by her surroundings, to her unpleasantness, that is

The feeling of a cold liquid substance coiling around her body filled her mind

Her eyes stung as that substance entered them too

Some of it even entered her nose, causing her to feel like her throat and nasal cavity were burning

Furthermore, she felt an outside force smashing itself violently towards her body, trying to completely crush her, and spectacularly failing to do so
