Moments would pass, and then he would remember that it had all been the illusion of a drug and he would breathe a little easier. However, even now, months later, he still couldn’t shake the ‘what if’ that had been sitting in the back of his mind. What if he hadn’t made it to the steps? What if that creature had actually grabbed his leg? What if he had never made it out of that place?
Never in his life had he felt such a palpable terror as he had in that moment, when he thought he was about to be grabbed by that monster. But that was beside the point, now he was heading to meet the doctor for something entirely different. He had requested Mikajia’s aid for a new experimental drug, but insured him he would not need to test this one out personally. And seeing as it was a drug, he also needn’t worry about it potentially backfiring on him like what had happened on a previous quest. However, that backfire hadn’t been bad at all, but actually proved to be very helpful, instead boosting his strength rather than sapping it like it was meant to.
