Rover looked around and realized he was still in the room, utterly confused.
But the warmth and familiarity steadied him for a moment.
"Rover, are you okay?" Nanoe asked anxiously.
Selina sat beside him too, staring at him with worry, both hands pressed to his chest, looking like she was about to cry.
He held his head, feeling as if someone had smashed it with a hammer.
Rover took a deep breath, forced himself to sit up, then asked, "How long was I unconscious?"
Nanoe and Selina looked at each other, then back at him. Nanoe said, "Not long, but… did the Thousand-Faced Wraith attack you?"
Rover nodded and asked, "What about you? Did the Thousand-Faced Wraith attack you?"
Nanoe and Selina shook their heads. Then Selina spoke up. "Back then, the Thousand-Faced Wraith rushed into the room and went straight for you. It was like a layer of mist, it slammed into your body and then disappeared."
