"enough" Like a cold water poured on a seething iron, an authoritative voice commanded from the stage at the center of the room, immediately putting to an abrupt stop every actions that would have come after that moment.

The young man who had already taken a step forward was hired by the invisible wall of restriction incurred by the command of that voice. Heedless of the mind's ability to reconsider its intended actions with a second pause, it never always ended up with second thoughts. The feeling of regret, desperation and agitation sometimes take solid root into the heart before rationality ever had a chance to further analyze what corresponding response would follow after. Thus rather than a state of calmness, the mind enters into a state of anger and agitation.
