[Fifth Level — Sloth!]
Surprisingly, the environment didn't shift like it had during the earlier Trials.
Haru still stood in the same eerie, Black-Green Realm. No new monsters. No illusions. Just… stillness.

'This feeling…!'
A creeping heaviness overtook his body. It wasn't just fatigue—it was a deep, numbing lethargy that pulled at his muscles, forced his eyelids to shut, and whispered to him that everything could wait. That nothing truly mattered right now.
Before he realized it, his knees hit the ground.
His head dipped forward, and for a fleeting moment, he felt something unfamiliar. A comfort….
But it wasn't the kind of peace that came from safety. No. It was the dull warmth of vain surrender. That fake bliss you feel when you stop fighting—when you give up and just let go… again and again…
