Eva, just breathe!

All the plans and ideas he had about locking her away seemed trivial in the face of her obvious distress. 

In that moment, he realized that no matter what he had envisioned for their meeting, her well-being and health were of paramount importance..

Xylon couldn't shake off the worry gnawing at him as he sat there, still holding Eva in his arms. 

Seeing her in such a vulnerable state was a stark contrast to the strong and determined person he knew her to be.

 She had always been the kind of girl who faced challenges head-on, never backing down from a fight. 

Her resilience and courage had been evident when she saved herself from Dustin Juccon's clutches.

As he observed her now, gasping for air and trembling, Xylon couldn't help but feel a pang of curiosity. 

He realized that his presence might have triggered something within her, something she had been trying to keep at bay.
