I felt in that moment as if it were all a dream—the training, my former life, the world I had left behind. None of that mattered anymore. Only this place mattered, only this moment, and not because the psychologist had hypnotized me.

There, a greater darkness gathered, the confluence of the night, the clouds, and the sea. Somewhere beyond, another border.
