Thankfully, as the transformation ended, the pain subsided, allowing Ken to process things once again. He was still lost and confused, still out of his mind, but then he heard a familiar voice, saw something in front of him. Akechi-senpai...!

Right, he needed to calm down. He tried to focus only on Akechi-senpai, on his voice, to slow down his breath... the flames around him died out, and he was no longer thrashing around, although he still was shaking.
