Nimo's eyebrows slowly rose. Was awakening really normal? Then again, given the times they were living in, it was sort of normal.
For a short moment, silence reigned. Then some footsteps and the door was opened. A trembling teenager stood there, his hair damp with sweat, hands hidden behind his back. His eyes were red, and they brimmed with tears.
