Dahan-dahang binuksan ni Xein ang mga mata nya. Pakiramdam nya ay sobrang bigat nito at para bang pagod na pagod sya, but he push himself to open his eyes.

Unang bumungad sa kanya ay ang tunog ng isang malakas na pagsabog.

In an instant, he snap his eyes open at sinubukang bumangon mula sa pagkakahiga nya sa isang... kama?

Nilibot nya ang paningin nya sa buong paligid. The whole place looks.... very familiar. The medical room. Their new base.

Why is he here? Ang huling natandaan nya ay ang pagbagsak nya sa sahig at ang sobrang pagod na nararamdaman nya. Isabay pa doon ang pagdating ng Demolition Gang. And...Council Jared —

"Jesus, calm down, kid." Napagitla si Xein dahil sa boses na nanggaling mula sa gilid nya. Napatingin sya dito at nakita nya ang nakangiting itsura ni Council Jared.

Xein almost sigh in relief.

"W-What are we doing here? Why am I here? The war, is it —"

in exasperated expression, ginabayan sya ni Council Jared upang humiga ulit sa kama. Umiling-iling ito. "Nah, the war is not over yet. But, we're here para magamutan ang sugat mo sa ulo. Don't you remember? Fighting Dashielle and the Head Council?"

Tumango naman si Xein. Dahan-dahan nyang hinawakan ang bandage na nakapalibot sa ulo nya na ngayon lang nya napansin. Even moving his hands makes him tired and worn out.

He frown. "If the war is not over yet, then we need to fight too. Master needs our help —"

"No." Council Jared ordered sternly. "You're going to stay here until your wound was healed. Mayrad, nakikita mo ba sarili mo ngayon? Punong-puno ka ng mga bandages at nang dalhin kita dito ay puno ka ng dugo. You can't even stand yet!"

Mas lalo namang sumimangot si Xein. Yes, he felt tired and dizzy, pero hindi nya hahayaan na maging dahilan 'yon para tumigil sya sa pakikipaglaban.

They need him, and he won't fail them.

"I can stand, thank you very much." He answered sarcastically and to prove his point, bumangon sya at sinubukang tumayo.

Frustratingly enough, sa tuwing ginagalaw nya ang mga paa nya ay lagi syang napapahawak sa lamesita nya. His foot are shaking and he feels even more dizzy.

Council Jared looks at him with deadpan expression.

Xein only rolled his eyes at bumalik na sa pagkakahiga nya sa kamay. He really wants to sleep right now. "Fine. You have your point."

Council Jared only give him a smug look at sasagot na sana sa kanya nang biglang bumukas ang pintuan ng kwarto nya.
