"They are gone..."
Kairen mumbled after staring at the empty spots of the two men for a few seconds.
"I don't get what just happened- cough!"
A mouthful of blood splattered on the ground.
"Ren, you have to go to the hospital!"
Kairen shook his head while whipping the blood off of his mouth.
"I don't need it. Besides, aren't you the one who was injured? They tortured you..."
Kairen looked at Aaron up and down.
"You seem fine though... Were you acting that whole time? Cough."
"..."
Aaron glanced at the three other people approaching them from afar as he casually patted Kairen's back.
"It wasn't an act... Those bastards really did anything they could to make me talk."
"Then..."
"But I got better."
"Cough- how can you get better all of a sudden?"
Aaron closed his mouth and instead touched the white stone that he had attached back to his cloak.
"Huh..."
