Somehow, his voice was not particularly loud, but it was clear. Despite his exhaustion, Rise managed to call out Kamille's name without stumbling over a breath.
Kamille's violent demeanor quickly softened, and his figure quickly arrived in front of Rise. Their gazes met, now closer than they had been in what felt like years.
Rise stared at Kamille's face, his pupils trembling for various emotions. He never thought that he would see him again. He wanted to say something, to talk to Kamille.
Unfortunately, due to his condition, Rise did not have the strength to stay awake anymore. He might have neutralized mana toxins; overexhaustion was still something he could not escape, especially as he was not at his peak to begin with.
Before he could say something once more, Rise finally collapsed in Kamille's waiting arms. This time, he completely let his guard down and trusted Kamille for the rest.
