Moving his body so that he lay on his back, I was careful not to shake him too hard. I knew there was no real risk of him actually waking up, but it wasn't impossible for too much of an impact to rouse him from his slumber, so I acted gently.
Closing my eyes, it was only a short moment, but already could I feel a subtle change in the atmosphere, with the boy in front of me as the central point.
With that quick confirmation that everything had been correctly set up, I recalled the next steps documented by the government researchers.
I took something out of my pocket resembling a modified stethoscope that came in two pieces. Fortunately, this meant it was small enough to fit in my pocket.
