Van carefully dug the debris with his hands. He was initially going to use the technique that he learned earlier from Charlotte and vibrate his hands, but he chose not to. Now that he was calmer that they were outside, he realized how bad it would be if he accidentally penetrated someone's flesh when using it.
If his hand could go through stone as if it was nothing, then besides Enhancer-type System Holders, the rest would surely be colorfully wounded by his hand if he wasn't careful.
Van continued to push away the earth and debris, taking a pause each time to see if there were any signs of any movement happening. And finally, after a full minute, Van heard a light gasp for air.
"H… help…"
As soon as Van heard the whisper, he looked at Charlotte, who nodded towards him, confirming it was the one she was hearing.
"Stay still," Van said as he moved the rubble that separated him and the whisper, even more carefully this time.
