The howling of the wolves continued. A brilliant blue glow came in through the holes that the rock covering us couldn't quite close, then slowly faded, as if its source was moving away from us.
Compared to the noises outside... the space I was trapped in was remarkably quiet. Sue said nothing, didn't even look in my direction. Her eyes were on the rock that was closed on us.
As I got used to the mana that surrounded me, my senses slowly returned. I was returning to normal as I deliberately directed the flow, so... I finally managed to part my lips.
"S- Sue...?"
I spoke in a whisper, maybe she couldn't even hear me. The noises from outside were... too much. Still, she turned her eyes toward me, she looked at my face.
There was not much distance between us. The space we were in was so small that if we got a little closer, our faces would have touched.
