Chapter 88

• DANTE'S POV
• I was immersed in a dream, walking side by side with Catarina, lost in our own world, when everything changed drastically. The deafening sound of a gunshot echoed through the recesses of my subconscious, interrupting our tranquil journey. Before I could process what was happening, a wave of excruciating pain swept through my body, as if a thousand fire needles were piercing my skin.
• I was about to respond to Catarina's question, a question about what could go wrong, when the impact hit me head-on. The world spun in a blur of colors and sensations, and then everything vanished, replaced by the dark void of unconsciousness.
