Michael exhaled softly.
"Though it's not a full recovery, if I need to run or fight again I can do it without acting desperate."

The previous situation, though it looked dangerous, hadn't required any losses to resolve.
"I feel much better."
Michael flexed his fingers as he thought back to the hundreds of Rank Four awakeners he had left behind.

"…Finally."
