Suddenly, there was a swarm of CLUs all over. Their black capes draped over me before I was wrapped tightly and went unconscious.

Aaron strolled over from behind and slid down next to me. A few moments went by before either of us spoke. And when it was time, he was the one to speak.

He stood up and offered me his hand. I took it and he helped me up.
"Are you okay, Fall?"
