Naomi turned to another side, her eyes were bulging after seeing the gruesome sight. Her heart suddenly started racing. For a second she thought Ryan was dead.
'His- his pulse!' She quickly jumped on the seat beside Ryan, pulled his hand out from the covers, gripped her fingers over his veins, and waited to sense his pulse.
'On. He- he is breathing,' She declared, Naomi could hear her own heart beating inside her chest. She threw his hand under the covers again.
'B- but how could? How come?' She pulled down the cover around Ryan's neck to check the marks once again.
Her hands automatically reached his neck. She could feel the marks on Ryan's neck, the marks of being strangled brutally.
"Uh… Naomi Mitsuda?" her body trembled when she heard her name. Her heart raced once again after skipping a beat.
In a panic, she pulled her hand from Ryan's throat pulling the covers back on his neck.
