Chapter 32

An intense feeling of discomfort gripped me as I attempted to turn onto my left side. Despite my efforts, something was preventing me from doing so. My body felt weighed down by an invisible force, and each movement felt like a herculean task. The frustration of being unable to do something as simple as turning over intensified my discomfort, and I felt a wave of helplessness wash over me. Despite my attempts to shake off the feeling, the hindrance persisted, and I was left feeling trapped and immobile.

As I lay there, time seemed to stand still, but suddenly, an unsettling realization swept over me. My right arm was completely unresponsive, as if it were detached from my body. Though I could still feel it, every attempt to move it proved futile, and panic began to set in. Then what could have caused this sudden paralysis?

As my consciousness slowly returns to me, I become aware of the world around me. I find myself lying in bed, with my eyes shut and my mind in a state of half-sleep.
