Have you ever had the pleasure of knowing what it felt like to be clawed from the inside out? A never-ending gnawing pain that only intensified if you took so much as a single breath? Well, that was what Lee Wooyun was experiencing as he almost convulsed to the ground.

This was a mistake. I made a mistake, no, no, no. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as he bit down hard on his tongue, trying to keep conscious. He couldn't lose focus. Not now. Not here.

His nagging voice brought him a semblance of comfort as he fought through the trials and tribulations his body was experiencing at that moment.
A vessel, Wooyun thought. Yeah, a vessel. I shouldn't force it, I can do this.
