A subtle uneasiness crept into her chest.
Yue Yue blinked several times, instinctively trying to adjust her vision, but it made no difference. No matter how many times she blinked, the darkness remained unchanged, unmoving, absolute.
A faint panic began to rise within her. She slowly lifted her hand and waved it in front of her eyes. She could not even see her own hand.
Her breath hitched.
"…No way…" she whispered, her voice trembling slightly.
A cold thought suddenly surfaced in her mind, making her heart clench painfully.
Had she… gone blind?
Her fingers trembled as she tried again, moving her hand closer to her face, then farther away, but there was still nothing. No confirmation that her eyes were even open.
Her breathing grew heavier. She quickly shook her head, trying to push that thought away.
"No… this isn't right…"
Forcing herself to stay calm, Yue Yue cautiously took a step forward. Her foot touched something.
