You Have Created Me

Stein felt that sensation of being torn apart again, but this time, he steeled himself and faced it head one. He merely anticipated which perspective it will be next, and resisted the pain in his own. 

Once he managed to clear his head a little, he found himself facing blinding white lights.

He feels numb and could not move. There was something.... moving, slinking away, oozing, dripping, slowly crawling..... like a disgusting bug on your skin.

Except that this disgusting bug seems to come from inside you. Someone was pulling it out, and he can feel the tension as the connection was severed. 

And as that connection was severed, as that bug was taken away.....

He felt much lighter. In a sense that he felt emptier, not calmer. Having the bug taken away from him did not bring him peace, only hollowness and less weight upon his own body.
