06 – Human
The tunnel was sloping upwards, gently going towards the surface. Mateus remembered walking along this path with his own two legs, back when he had them, alongside his fellow heroes. Now, instead, he was bouncing around in his nanomachine body, jumping high into the air and ricocheting against the ceiling and the ground to propel himself forwards. It was fun, and definitely a fast way of moving in an enclosed space like this.
Every time he hit a surface, he felt his whole body squish and react elastically, sending him flying away. During one of those bounces, he noticed that he could see some light in the distance.
The light was white, blinding and almost forgotten after so much time in the dark. He could feel relieved already, knowing that he was not going to be stuck in here for much longer. Jumping even farther than before, he rushed towards the opening of the cave. Before he could reach it, however, a blob of blue barred the way.
