As soon as the door closed, the atmosphere in the room felt much more tense. Elyna couldn't find Val anywhere, even though he was supposed to be in that room.
"Val?"
No one answered her calls. Elyna tried to take a step forward. Her eyes darted around, hoping she could find Val and let him know she was there for him.
SWOOSH!
BAM!
"Ah!"
Elyna was shocked when she saw something moving quickly and pounced on her like a wild animal. Elyna fell heavily to the floor. Val was on top of her. He was pressing Elyna as if he wanted to eat her.
"Val?"
Elyna's voice broke, and she started crying when she saw Val's state. The man who was always dignified looked messy in front of her. He growled like a wild animal. His eyes lit up. Val no longer even recognized Elyna.
"Val, it's me, Elyna. I'm back. I'm back, Val."
