You lie down on the altar, it feels cold and very uncomfortable.
But what do you care? You push your wrists down nervously, but the
blades are so sharp that you hardly even feel them penetrating your
skin, sinking into your flesh, and your blood gushes out and the
world begins to fade...

... and it feels cold, but it doesn't feel so bad, and the blood keeps
running, how much blood is there in your body? ...

... and you're losing your vision, and the end is coming the end it is
neigh the end is here.

You feel that Nikana is older now.
You feel a LOT older!

You have been RAISED FROM THE DEAD ! 
You enter the corpse.
You feel a bit older.
