"Ngh..."
Aidan woke up! The sudden groan alerted us.
"Wait!" I said in a voice as low as possible, hoping that Aidan would fall back asleep.
The seconds dragged on painfully as we waited anxiously for his reaction.
Finally, Aidan opened his eyes, panic evident in the way they darted around the room. When he spotted me, his forehead creased in a scowl.
"Tes, what are you doing?" he demanded, his voice harsh.
Without waiting for an answer, he looked around and asked, "Where are we?"
I remained still. Something felt off. This impulsive big guy should have jumped at me already. There's the thing with his disabled legs. But his arms should work fine.
Moments later, after a prompt analysis, I noticed that he was paralyzed. He could only move his face.
He barked like some kind of monster, frustrated for being unable to see me as I stood in his blind spot.
