Xiao's form was strapped down to a bed. Glistening sweat layered his skin and you would've thought he was sick or having a nightmare. Xiao's constant pained grunts reminded everyone the resistance he was putting up, but the looming karmic debt was obvious to everyone in the room.
His hands were balled into fists, turning his knuckles white. It seemed like his nails tore the surface of his skin from how blood trickled down into the bedding underneath and stained the silk. You felt your heart beat faster.
The worse part is that nobody seemed to know what to do.
Guizhong had a look of regret painted on her face. Remorse taken over every adepti's form as they watched the struggling Yaksha. Zhongli stood by her, keeping his ever expressionless face.
You felt bitter.
"What are we going to do?" Bonanus looked ready to cry as she kneeled down. Indarias could only give the Hydro user a hug. Bosacius had all four of his fists clenched and his face was strained as if he were the one in pain.
"We can't do anything."
You couldn't understand how it could get this bad. Vision-bearers should be less affected, but Xiao's clearly suffering from the karma. You felt like throwing up.
This isn't how the story goes. This isn't supposed to happen. Why? Why, why, why, why, why, why.
Before you knew it, you were brought into a hard chest and arms that gave you a secure hug that made you feel safe. Not too tight that you weren't able to breathe. The adeptus above you made you feel smaller in their embrace. You hadn't realized you were having a small panic attack until the adeptus soothed you, their soft voice instructing you to listen to them only.
"Breathe. In.. and out." You followed.
Menogias gave you a gentle smile. His expression so soft as if he wanted to reassure you. Menogias had quickly led you outside of Xiao's room, allowing you to take in fresh air and not the heated air inside. He continued to whisper to you, allowing you to slowly calm down.
