A painful migraine suddenly struck out of nowhere.
It immediately caused Kai to wobble—and before he could even realize what was happening, the world tilted as he fell backward. He tried keeping his eyes open, widening them as if that would help him resist the darkness creeping in.
But that did not do anything.
Kai could hear Layra's frantic voice, worried sick as she didn't know what had happened to him.
He reached out his hand to hold hers with his remaining strength.
"I-It's going to be fine…"
Of course, Kai wanted to say more, wanted to assure her that this was nothing—but his mind was already pulled away into the darkness. He passed out. Regardless, he hoped Layra would not make a big deal out of this.
Once the darkness slowly faded away, his senses returned.
Kai gasped in a deep breath that filled his lungs as his eyes shot open.
Around, the world swam—it was blurred and unfamiliar.
