The blinding light made Rover squint.
When his eyes finally adjusted, he slowly opened them, only to find himself gripping the doorknob, while Nanoe and Selina were using all their strength to drag him backward.
Thud!
"Ack!" Rover cried out in pain as his butt met the ground in an intimate way.
"You…" Rover was about to say something, but Selina and Nanoe hurriedly hugged him tight, tears pouring down like rain.
"Thank goodness… Rover, you're finally awake."
"Master! Master!"
Rover didn't understand what was going on, but hearing their sobs, he felt a warmth so deep it made him think this was his true home.
Remembering the images he'd seen in the illusion, he suddenly grew emotional and hugged them tightly.
BAM!
Suddenly, the sound of pounding cut through everyone's emotions.
Rover frowned, took a deep breath, and wanted to head for the door, but his hand was immediately grabbed by Nanoe and Selina.
