Theo skips sleep pretty often, so when he does actually sleep he tends to sleep for a while. Kaede will probably wake up before he does.
He thinks, at the risk of getting himself trapped in here for a while, that he will leave this hole.
He will, however, try to create something to place around the weird ball, and to place through it, in case this means it won't disappear. Something red, and green, and why not chartreuse, let's make it hopefully searingly bright and also glow-in-the-dark in places so he won't lose it if all the lights go out.
Can he attach stuff to the ball? He really hopes he can.
He can poke something through it and presumably get back to where he was going through Sin, right? So he can spend time digging another route through and hopefully get another hole in midair somewhere else nearby and then thread something through it.
Or does this not work for some reason?
Can he see the other glowing ball? Because so long as it's not literal miles away he can do a really huge hoop between it and then conveniently he can make two visible random things in midair.
If it's literal miles then he might have a problem.
… Can he dig a hole closer? He will be very careful and try not to collapse his two current holes together.
Presumably it is not 'a few feet' in terms of how close it is, is it?
He's just gonna attach the thing through Sin's flesh on the other side of the first hole. That sounds easier.
Wonderful. Then he gets the ugly bright fluorescent tapestry thing or whatever and attaches it all together and he has a nice little bright colorful hole in the sky.
Nothing conveniently interesting has appeared while he's been doing this, has it?
He looks around himself at the distance he'd have to traverse to cover this whole space – that is, he cannot see walls and walls don't seem to be around for where Sin's edge is – and decides it is ridiculous.
He'll fly upwards a bit, keeping track of where he came in, and try looking for– well, anything that is not clouds or pyreflies or produced by him.
… He might be better off trying to go back and report this information rather than getting lost for potentially a century or something stupid like that.
The cloud beneath him, though, being all carpety and whatever. He's gonna check that first, move back over to his original spot with the glowing 'ball' of 'light', then go downwards from there through and into the cloud.
So he's just going to make a balloon here. From the air. Very red. Have it a good density so it can probably float for a while. Then one over there. And a third over here.
The ruins aren't too far but he wants to know what direction he should go in. This solution should be better than losing track of here totally. Probably.
Then he sets off for the temple.
