Passing It On

While the old man and the young lady were stunned at Grey's stunning ability to actually survive the effects of the orb without exploding, Grey was fighting for his life. 

Even though he looked calm on the outside, he knew for a fact he might actually die. He was already caught in a predicament, either give up on it or try to hold on for as long as he could.

His eyes were calm while internally he was panicking. 

"Give up." The young lady said once again.
