His body automatically tensed as he sat up on the chaise lounge, his eyes raking the delineate of his room as if coming to terms with the fact that he was merely having the same dream again, and only then did his mind cease to be antsy - if only those dreams weren't one of the most embarrassing revisitation of what he used to be in the past.

The stinging pain never once failed to remind him that there was a piece of the orb that had been deliberately implanted in his heart region, for reasons he was still unaware of, and unfortunately, he's been unable to get it out ever since.
