**Awakening from the Abyss**

As I lay there, fragile and vulnerable, I tried to shut out the world around me, desperate to escape the sensory overload that threatened to overwhelm me. I focused on my breathing, trying to slow it down, and willed myself to sleep, to escape the pain and discomfort that seemed to sear my very soul. But it was no use, my mind was a jumble of thoughts and emotions, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled over me. I began to hum, a low, soothing sound that I hoped would calm me down, but it was no use. The pain and discomfort were too much, and I cried out, my voice cracking with distress. Hanji's grip on me tightened, her touch a gentle caress as she tried to soothe my frazzled nerves. "Han……..ji," I whispered again, my voice barely audible. "Shh, it's okay," she whispered softly, her voice a balm to my troubled soul. "You're safe, I'm here." But even as she spoke, I knew that I was in trouble. My mind was a mess, and my body was protesting the changes in environment that threatened to disrupt my fragile state. I tried to block out the sensory input, to shut down my mind and escape the pain and discomfort that seemed to sear my very soul. I focused on my breathing, trying to slow it down, but it was no use. The pain was too much, and I cried out again, my voice cracking with distress. Hanji's grip on me tightened, her touch a gentle caress as she tried to soothe my frazzled nerves. "What's happening to me?" I whispered, my voice shaking with fear. Hanji's voice was soft and gentle, a soothing balm to my troubled mind. "You're okay, just relax," she whispered. "I'm here to take care of you." But even as she spoke, I knew that I was in trouble. My mind was a jumble of thoughts and emotions, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled over me. I tried to focus on my breathing, to calm myself down, but it was no use. The pain was too much, and I cried out again, my voice cracking with distress. Hanji's grip on me tightened, her touch a gentle caress as she tried to soothe my frazzled nerves. "I'm here," she whispered softly, her voice a balm to my troubled soul. "You're safe." But even as she spoke, I knew that I was on the verge of a breakdown. My mind was a mess, and my body was protesting the changes in environment that threatened to disrupt my fragile state. I whimpered and cried, my body agitated and restless. Hanji held me close, trying to mimic the warmth and security of a mother's womb. But even as she tried to comfort me, I knew that I was in trouble. The pain was too much, and I cried out again, my voice cracking with distress. Hanji's grip on me tightened, her touch a gentle caress as she tried to soothe my frazzled nerves. "You're okay," she whispered softly, her voice a balm to my troubled mind. "I'm here to take care of you." But even as she spoke, I knew that I was on the verge of a breakdown. My mind was a jumble of thoughts and emotions, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled over me. I focused on my breathing, trying to slow it down, but it was no use. The pain was too much, and I cried out again, my voice cracking with distress. And then, in a flash of insight, I realized what was happening to me. I was regressing, my mind and body slipping back into a state of vulnerability and fear. I tried to block out the sensory input, to shut down my mind and escape the pain and discomfort that seemed to sear my very soul. But it was too late, and I cried out in pain, my voice cracking with distress. Hanji's grip on me tightened, her touch a gentle caress as she tried to soothe my frazzled nerves. "You're okay," she whispered softly, her voice a balm to my troubled mind. "I'm here to take care of you." And in that moment, I knew that I was in trouble. My mind was a mess, and my body was protesting the changes in environment that threatened to disrupt my fragile state. I was fragile and vulnerable, and I knew that I needed Hanji's help to get through this. But as I lay there, helpless and vulnerable in her arms, I knew that I couldn't stay like this for long. The Titan we had been tracking was still out there, and it was time to get back to Wall Rose. The problem was, I was fragile and vulnerable, my body still recovering from the trauma of my nightmare. And Hanji knew that it wouldn't be easy, transporting me back to Wall Rose in my current state. I was easily agitated, and my body would not be able to withstand the rigors of transportation. But for now, she just held me close, trying to comfort me as I lay there, helpless and vulnerable in her arms.
