It was the kind of pain you've never felt before. It was so painful you couldn't think of anything else. Your visions started to darken and you were in and out of oblivion. The voices around sounded muffled, there were people but they were nothing more than a blur.



But somehow you can make out a voice, a very familiar voice that you recognize even in your state of near unconsciousness. He was saying something, he was talking to a woman you realize was Ms. Florence. But you couldn't hear what they were saying, their voices still sounded muffled in your ears, and you could hardly focus your senses on anything else because of the pain.



Your voice was no more than above a whisper when you called out his name.



"Levi,"



He was leaving, but you don't want him to leave. You want him to stay by your side more than anyone else right now.



You wanted to call out his name again, but you couldn't find your voice to say it. But there was no need to, as Levi heard you the first time you spoke his name, like the air had carried your voice to him and he stopped before he could open the door.



For a second you saw him simply standing there, as though time had frozen him still. Until he turned around and saw you staring at him, with your tired eyes that were drooping down and half-lidded.
