章 69: Distress

"Solis? Are you all right?" Noir asked, shaking Solis's shoulder lightly.

Noir had been awakened by a small movement from Solis, and Solis seemed to be caught up in either a nightmare or in memories which were probably not very pleasant. Solis's distress had impacted Noir and now Noir was trying to wake Solis up from whatever it was within his head that was troubling him.
