Chapter 73: Mirroring Mist

As Bane felt his consciousness return to his body, he processed and logged everything that he had learned from Aetherion. While it seemed insane that he was in some kind of mind core prison universe, the more he thought about it, the more things made sense.

"Bane?" a familiar voice asked, and Bane opened his eyes to see Yume looking at him with concern in her eyes.

Taking a deep breath in, Bane nodded. "Yeah, I am back. My mind was drawn somewhere else to get a brief explanation of what is happening, and how fucked we are."

Yume raised an eyebrow as Bane stood up, but then he smiled while shaking his head. "Don't worry about it. There is nothing you can do, but I plan on fixing this. This isn't something that I can just leave be."

Yume frowned, but then she nodded. "You seem different. The way you look at me now is different than before, like you are looking at something else."
