childoffateHe was... floating. That was probably the best way to describe it.
Philip was used to out-of-body experiences, of course. After all, his consciousness left his body behind every time he transformed, not to mention the multiple times a day his mind made trips to the Gaia Library. But this felt... different. And what was puzzling was that he couldn't quite remember what he'd been doing before all of this. Was he dreaming? Had he fallen asleep on one of the chairs in the office without realizing?
It was hard to tell. It bothered him not to know the answer to something, especially things that he had no way of researching. The data was the most important, and lacking any was frustrating.
Time passed, although he had no clue how long. It was as though he was drifting in and out of consciousness without control. At one point he thought he heard a voice, but the sound was unfamiliar and he couldn't make out any of the words.
He blacked out, something in his system keeping him asleep.
Eventually he found himself again, and struggled to open his eyes.
"Sho...ta..ro?" he mumbled sleepily. Everything was out of focus and dark. This didn't feel like the office at all.
"Shotaro?" he repeated, his voice a little clearer, albeit it now with some fear.
He couldn't feel his partner's presence at all, and that scared him more than a little.
