Stanley breathed heavily, gasping for air. He hadn't breathed in a while and the pain of it was getting to him. If having to breathe wasn't such an issue, he could've gone on for so much longer.
His body thirsted for oxygen, and he let it have it. The slow-burning pain in his muscles subsided as he tried to get out of the rubble he had fallen into.
He still felt the tingling sensation on his fingers that made him let go of the sword, but what surprised him was the sounds of cries that came from Garren.
He thought he had missed, but what was that now?
He got up with numbness in major sections of his body and a tingling finger in his arms. He looked for his sword and happened to see Nova drive some metal threads onto Garren. The cries became louder.
'I need to finish him,' Stanley thought, but the numbness was taking a moment to subside. Before it could get better, he saw the glowing blue light that came from Garren.
