He held his breath as the pain faded to a dull ache, before taking a few shaky deep breaths, blinking back tears. After a few minutes, he could finally continue what he was about to say.

"Okay...well, I-I...The Admin just t-told me that- they told me that G-George is going to g-get hurt? A-and..." Charles broke down into sobs, unable to continue.
