nNick looked at the Dreamer with an imploring look.
nHe only hoped that Horua wouldn’t die.
nIf Horua died…
nNick wouldn’t know what he would do.
nFor the last couple of days, he had already been feeling horrible, and being the reason for Horua’s death would make things only worse.
nNick slowly took a couple of steps back, showing the Dreamer that he didn’t intend to attack it.
nThe Dreamer slowly turned to look at the boy lying in front of it.
nThen, the Dreamer slowly turned to look at Nick again.
n“Please,” Nick repeated.
nAfter that, the Dreamer looked at Wyntor.
n“Do it,” Wyntor said with a nod.
nLastly, the Dreamer focused on the boy again.
nA moment later, it took a step forward and lowered its head to focus on Horua’s eyes.
nRight now, Horua’s eyes were half-opened and blankly staring at the ceiling.
nThe Dreamer kept focusing on Horua.
nA couple of seconds later, Horua’s eyes closed on their own.
nWhen Nick saw that, he became excited.
nHorua couldn’t close his eyes himself, but just now, he had actually closed them!
nHorua was still alive!
nThe fact that he could close his eyes meant that he was still in there!
nNick’s heart rate increased as more time passed.
nA couple of minutes of silence passed.
nNick felt like these minutes were hours.
n“Ugh…”
nNick’s eyes shot open when he heard a groan coming from Horua.
nHorua’s voice sounded incredibly hoarse and coarse, but that was to be expected after not talking for over three months.
nHowever, the important thing was that Horua had actually said something!
n“Argh…” Horua groaned in pain.
nWhile the earlier groan had been one of discomfort, this had definitely been one of pain.
nIt sounded like Horua had just tried to stop himself from screaming.
nSadly…
n“AAAAAAHHHHH!”
nNick’s eyes looked with fervent intensity at Horua as he screamed in absolute agony.
nIn his entire life, Nick had never heard a human scream in so much agony! 𝙞𝒃𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶
nThe only scream that was more intense came from the Screaming Coffin.
nWorried that Horua might die, Nick charged-
n“Nick, stop!” Wyntor shouted, holding his arm in front of Nick.
nNick could barely hear Wyntor’s voice due to Horua’s loud and terrifying scream.
n“It knows what it’s doing!” Wyntor shouted. “Trust in the fact that it knows what the optimal course of action is for its survival!”
nNick’s body shook.
n“AAAAAAHHHHH!”
nHorua’s scream was terrifying, and Nick felt like he wanted to either punch the Dreamer or run away.
nNo matter the case, Nick felt like he had to do something!
nSuddenly, blood shot out of Horua’s mouth as his vocal cords broke apart and leaked blood.
n“STOP!” Nick shouted with all of his power.
nNick was just about to push Wyntor to the side when the Dreamer actually turned to look at Nick by only moving its head. Its body was still hunched over Horua.
nThe Dreamer’s intense but dead stare focused on Nick’s eyes as Horua kept screeching in agony and pain.
n“Nick, stop- ugh!”
nWyntor was pushed to the side by Nick as he ran towards the Dreamer.
nWhen the Dreamer saw Nick approach, it jumped backward with quite a bit of speed and landed in the corner of the room.
nIn an instant, Nick arrived between Horua and the Dreamer.
nNick wanted to attack the Dreamer so badly, but since the Dreamer had already stepped away, the immediate issue was solved.
nSo, he turned around and focused on Horua.
nThat was when Nick saw that Horua’s eyes had shot open in terror and agony.
nHorua’s eyes were completely red with blood, and his body entire body was rigid as all his muscles strained.
nHis scream had become silent, but his mouth was still opened in an expression that perfectly reflected someone screeching in agony.
nBut most shocking of all, Nick saw Horua’s pupils rapidly moving around.
nHe was awake!
n“Horua!” Nick shouted as he quickly kneeled beside Horua to grab his hand. “Everything’s okay! You’re awake again!”
nHowever, Horua didn’t notice Nick and just focused on the ceiling as his entire body strained.
n“Horua!” Nick shouted as his grip on Horua’s hand tightened.
nThat seemed to do the trick, and Horua’s pupils seemed to fight and strain as they tried to focus on Nick.
nTime seemed to stand still as Nick just looked into Horua’s eyes.
nAfter seemingly an eternity, Horua’s mouth slowly moved.
nNo sound came out.
nHowever, Nick could tell what Horua was mouthing, and his heart nearly broke into pieces.
n“I’m… sorry…”
nThat was what Horua was mouthing.
nNick knew what this meant.
nAs a child, Horua believed that Nick was causing him this pain, and the only thing Horua could do to stop Nick from causing him even more pain was to submit and apologize.
nThe pure terror in Horua’s eyes told Nick as much.
n“No, Horua! You’re going to get better!” Nick shouted as his grip on Horua’s arm relaxed.
nHorua stopped mouthing words and looked at Nick with strained pupils.
nAn eternity seemed to pass.
n“Horua!” Nick shouted again.
nAnd then, Horua’s pupils suddenly moved upward, losing all focus as his body lost all strength.
n“Horua!” Nick shouted once more as he started to shake Horua’s shoulders.
nHorua didn’t move.
nNext, Nick put his ear to Horua’s mouth to listen.
nSilence.
nFive seconds of silence.
n“He’s not breathing!” Nick shouted in panic. “What do I do?!”
n“Is his heart beating?” Wyntor asked urgently.
nNick put his ear to Horua’s chest.
nNothing.
n“It isn’t!” Nick shouted.
n“Make way!” Wyntor shouted as he pushed Nick away.
nNick rapidly moved to the side and looked at Wyntor with hope.
nWyntor immediately started to push on Horua’s chest in a certain rhythm.
n“Go to my office and get the Recovery Liquid in the lowest drawer!” Wyntor shouted.
nNick nodded and immediately ran out of the Containment Unit.
nAfter entering Wyntor’s office, Nick immediately opened the lowest drawer and quickly found the small green bottle.
nNick raced back with the bottle and saw Wyntor still performing CPR.
n“Give it to me,” Wyntor said.
nNick gave the bottle to Wyntor.
nWyntor opened it and poured a couple of drops on Horua’s head and some into his throat.
nWyntor had already stopped performing CPR and just watched Horua with Nick.
nThis would decide whether Horua lived or not.
