Chris, Vanessa, and the others exchanged glances before all turning to leave, leaving only Irene, Byrne, and Darren, who lay comatose on the bed.
Irene stared at Byrne's anxious eyes for a long while before finally speaking:
"Darren tried to reveal the existence of the Lord of the Lost, but he met our Master's gaze, and so, unable to withstand such a great and supreme vision, he fell into a coma."
"What are you talking about?"
Upon learning the true reason behind Darren's coma, Byrne was stunned for a good while, a bit slow to react.

For an ordinary child, such a mental burden was simply unimaginable!
