*Vitoria*
Ragged breaths. Flowing blood. Torn body and soul. Drifting in a void, Vitoria saw naught but white. Her eyes were blinded as she felt herself falling through space. Her body was fighting to stay together.
She had known her actions were reckless, but she had stubbornly believed she had the tools she had needed. Never had she imagined that the difficulty of traversing dimensions would be so high.
But she had survived. Had made it. But not to her target destination.
She drifted. Too weak to do much more.
...
Time passed. How long, she couldn't even guess. It had felt like eons. But a part of her knew it wasn't. At least, not fully. A quirk of time was that different people could experience the flow of time differently. For her, it might truly have been eons.
Just before she lost the last of her strength, she fell out of the world of white. Her body and soul were no longer separate things. Forged together, mutated. Her form, unknown. Humanoid, but not. Ryu, but not.
