Wait for Me to Rouse (6)

Following the realness of the sensation and taste of tears in his mouth, his sluggish brain finally managed to ascertain that he was not dreaming.

His slow-beating heart suddenly started to show signs of beating more normally. Slowly, the rhythmic thumping grew increasingly strong.

While his body ached terribly, his full consciousness was returning to him.

Hasn't she boarded the plane and left by now? Why has she returned?

And she's even weeping so pitifully…

Is she crying because of me? Did she scream my name out in alarm moments ago out of fear that I would leave this world once and for all?

Does she know what it feels like when a ray of light suddenly shines into the pitch-black world?

His heart was enveloped by warmth and passion, and his body began to fill with a stream of energy, the type that felt like a life force. 

Oh. So... so this is what an ardent love feels like.
