11 The Unwanted Ability to See in the Dark (2/2)

Rin was very tired but still, the desire to stop this suffering was greater. It was just two weeks or so but for him, it felt like months.

Slowly, he closed his eyes. His arms suddenly jerked, abruptly pulling him upwards. Then he quickly changed thhe position of his left arm and tried to loosen the rope. This meant that only one up was supporting him. Nerves almost popped out of his skin as he tried hard to pull himself up more.

”Hnnn!!!!”, he could not make any sound other than this. His left arm was shaking but was barely pushing the tied rope upwards so that his head could come out. Halfway and his head could almost fit in. Just a little bit and he could finally escape the days of his suffering. But then…

Snap!* The muscle on his right arm snapped. The strength from his arm instantly disappeared.

Rin wanted to puke at that moment. Is he going to continue this? He thought. Just a little bit and he could end this was the only thing in his mind as his right arm released its gripped while his neck fell onto the rope's clutches again.

”Ack!!”, As the rope catches his neck, the ceiling fan gave up and dettached itself from the ceiling.

He continued his fall. His body had no energy left to stop this fall. It would hurt a lot but Rin was very glad. He felt for a moment there that his head was finally going to part with his body. But finally, he escaped.

Thud!* His body hit the floor. When the rope was already out of his neck. He was so relieved that hi teared and lost consciousness…

Just after a few hours, Rin wake up from his slumber. He was still tired but the pain was mysteriously all gone.

Because of the contrast between hellish pain and a bit tired, he felt that he was full of energy and strength. He placed his hand above his chest and saw that he was naturally breathing. His throat was no longer getting clutched by the rope.

He was so happy that he stayed lying on the floor that was full of his blood and did not care for a few more minutes.

Instead of questioning what was happening or having traumatized, his mind was in peace and relief. Only after a few more hours did he regain all his strength.

It was midnight, that he came back to his senses.
