But what helped him during that time was now just leaving him lost and hurt in the 'real' world again. Or as real as Ryslig ever felt. Though he would admit, this place, with it's stressors, both physical and emotional... that pain cuts through the fog better than anything else. Maybe that's why he has settled into this new body so well. Because it feels everything so much he feels... like he's actually here.]
