Hearing the familiar, gentle voice, Ruvian snapped awake from his sleep. He was deathly pale, reeking of sweat as though he had drowned and was brought back from the lake.
The aftertaste of death was still horrifyingly vivid, clinging stubbornly to his senses until the urge to vomit became almost unbearable.
Unable to hold it back any longer, Ruvian doubled over the side of the bed and threw up.
The moment Avina saw him, terror flashed across her face. She rushed to his side and steadied him by his shoulders.
"Ruvian! What's wrong!?"
However, Ruvian remained unresponsive.
His mind was still elsewhere.
As for Yuzuki?
This time, for some reason, he was no longer trapped behind Ruvian's eyes. Instead, he possessed a corporeal body of his own and could traverse the vision freely, so long as he stayed within Ruvian's vicinity.
