Elliott, on the other hand, was falling apart.
He had completely forgotten why he had even come here in the first place.
At this moment, he didn't care about his original purpose.
There was only one thought running through his mind—
I need to get out of here before I do something reckless.
His mind was in total disarray. His only priority now was to get the hell out of this room before he did something reckless, something that would make him question himself even more.
Without wasting another second, he moved.
His feet hit the floor, and he ran—bolted—toward the door with everything he had.
But just as he was about to reach it, something pulled him back.
For a split second, he felt his body caught unto something.
But he didn't dwell on it.
He refused to.
He pulled forward with more force, ripping himself free, putting everything he had into that next running step—
And then—
Clank!
