Coincidence? I think not [PRIVATE-SHIZUO]

A year, maybe, has passed?

Heck, time in Hell is difficult to keep track of. No matter how long he stays in Hell or how much he is used to the environment around him, he gets slightly disoriented by the lack of any indication that either day or night has passed. Even after he was killed by the Beast of Karakura and was somehow able to retain his humanity only to be sent to Hell because of the sins he committed, in the end, the Nightmare is still a human.

Yes, the Nightmare, Sou Yuuki is in Hell. While it may seem unbelievable, one year was enough to change him. Imagine a full year of nothing but peace where he is forced to sit down and contemplate - if he wanted to survive a long time in Hell, Sou has to adapt to his new environment. He appeared calmer than he used to be, eyes and hair close to being a kind of faded red color.

With no one to interact with, to train or even just meet up, Sou eventually got used to his circumstances that this is what he deserved to get because of how much he tried to cut people off in the past. Sou sat down, crossed his legs and closed his eyes, undergoing the meditation technique that his mentor, Jace Beleren, had taught him before but didn't bother to pay attention back in the days. Now, now.. it makes sense why he had to keep his emotions in check.

There, he silently meditates.

Until some bug decides to disturb his routine.
