Zaiden grasped his senses as he stood up and looked around. The boss practically vanished without any trace, whereas the lurking black smoke travelled towards the ingress of the shop.
Zaiden could feel an attachment, some kind of connection towards the smoke. He was still unable to comprehend if that was truly Ellen or an illusion which was crafted by his subconscious mind.
'Is she alive within this mysterious smoke? Or is it a trick played by my mind since I have been feeling guilty?'
His assumption could be true since the place was suppressing the emotions. Yet somehow Zaiden was able to figure out that his senses had dropped visibly.
He was relying on his martial arts and the training received from Curtis in the human realm. The black smoke blocked the way and formed the shape of Ellen again. Zaiden had no idea about what that was, and then the sudden notification popped up.
