Mathew took a deep breath and held it in his lungs for as long as he could. Only when his heart started to protest and fill his mind with pain and desperation did the young man dare to release his breath.
"I never knew a small quarrel between lovers could hurt so much," he muttered to himself, only to then shake his head. "The worst thing is, I don't even understand what did we argue about!"
Mathew wanted to take as long as necessary to calm his thoughts and emotions down. Yet, for every second that he wasted on himself, he could feel the growing pressure of the situation his group was in.
'I never really tested out how the time passes between the realms,' Mathew noticed, pursing his lips as he felt his own mind blaming himself for the stupid mistake.
'Testing it would only take a second so I never felt pressure to do it, always pushing it for later,' he figured out how his mind worked in regards to this particular topic.
