"Pete! Pete! Pete!"
There was no sense or reason to Fay's voice as she desperately hugged me all over, her hands dancing all over my back and arms as if she was trying to ensure I wasn't physically hurt.
"…" I opened my mouth, only to realize with terror that I was simply too weak to speak right now.
But strangely enough, I had just enough energy to move my hand around a bit.
Gritting my teeth, I used all of my willpower to raise an arm… Only to then drop it on Fay's shoulder and give her a short few pats.
Sadly, that was the limit of what I could do. The limit imposed upon my physical state by the severe mental exhaustion.
"Peter!"
Sensing the movement and then the touch, Fay grabbed my shoulders and rapidly pulled out, only to give me a long, penetrating stare… And then fall forward right into my chest again.
"Peter!"
Rubbing her forehead against my chest, Fay failed to produce a single word beyond my name.
