Anthony Varley woke up.
Or more accurately, Anthony was never truly unconscious.
His vegetative state was a facade.
The so-called coma could be better described as a "retreat."
The method involved a technique unique to ancient martial arts - the Fetal Breathing Skill.
While outsiders saw him as unaware of his surroundings, Anthony remained conscious all along.
Not only was he fully aware of the occurrences around him,
but even the movements within a hundred feet were as clear as day to him.
After Anthony became what they called a "vegetative person," he was aware of almost everything that happened at the old Varley Clan estate.
Of course, Anthony's decision to seclude himself, causing such worry among his parents and family and unsettling the Varley Clan as factions began scheming, wasn't his deliberate act, nor did he find it amusing.
It was something he had no choice but to do.
It was a helpless decision.
