But Thomas changed that perspective of his. Thomas made Ermaan rely on him. Thomas made Ermaan count on him. Thomas was truly a fatherly figure for Ermaan.
Now after knowing that he would be losing this support system, this fatherly figure in his life, it was killing him. No matter how hard he tried to put everything to the back of his mind. It was just coming back at him with full force. No matter how much he tries to focus on the present, no matter how much he tries to be in the moment, to live the moment, he just can't. His thoughts were draining him out, making him feel tired, lost and isolated.
"Did you find it?" The soft, feminine voice brought him back, showcasing him some mercy. It's like he was drowning deeply and this voice helped him to float. To breathe. This feeling, as if finally the thing that was suffocating him, tormenting him, stopped for a moment providing him some relief. This relief was pure bliss.
