Well, turns out maybe he should've been thinking about it sooner, because now he's 'woken up' from his temporary bed back in Ensō to find himself on a mountain that is rapidly being engulfed by quite the expanse of saltwater.

It feels like he's spent entire days scaling rock and stone, but he knows in reality he's likely going to wake up any second now and discover he's only been out for an hour. So imagine his surprise when he finally reaches the peak, practically dragging all nine-and-a-bit feet worth of aching body to the mysterious structure, only to find...
