Was this how he did it? [2]

"Haaa… Haa…"

Kaelion felt his breath return. It all came in at once, and abruptly. The sensation was hard to describe and it felt as though someone had punched him in the chest.

Drip. Drip…!

Unknowingly, sweat trickled down the side of his face as he looked around him.

The noise returned, and before he knew it, a cadet with black hair and gray eyes was standing before him.

He seemed to be saying something to him, but he couldn't quite hear what he was saying.

No, rather…

He couldn't hear at all.

Besides the constant ringing in his ear and the sound of his own thoughts, he heard nothing.

'Who…?'

Kaelion did recall seeing him before.

In fact, he probably knew who he was.

It was just that…

'I can't…'

All he could think about was the cadet he had seen a few moments prior in the stands.

His body continued to shudder.
