"LUMIN!"
I blinked my eyes open.
'Huh?'
Confused, I looked around.
The darkness vanished.
The grey sky, the snowy ridge, the distant dome, all snapped back into place.
I was standing exactly where I had been.
"Lumin?" Uru'en was looking at me, her head tilted, her expression a mix of confusion and concern. "You just... spaced out for a second. You okay? Your face is hella pale."
"O-Oh, is it?" I muttered in 'surprise', while my heart was pounding a frantic rhythm against my ribs.
I lifted a hand and rubbed my face, forcing a weak chuckle.
"Guess I'm not used to the cold yet," I said lightly. "Must've hit me all at once."
That was a weak excuse.
Uru'en obviously didn't look convinced. Her gaze lingered on me suspiciously for a few moments.
"...Well, if you say so," she turned away.
I smiled faintly, thanking inwardly for her understanding.
"Should we go back then?" She added, already taking a step up the path.
"Yeah," I quickly followed after her.
