"Arthur, can you hear me? Snap out of it."
As the boy was standing there, completely shell-shocked, he heard a voice calling for him before someone shook his body. Looking to the side, he saw Cipher trying to communicate with him.
"Huh? Oh…" Somehow, that seemed to snap him out of his daze and he quickly blinked. "What…"
"Stay here." He said coldly. "Don't move a single inch."
Staring at Cipher's back as he quickly stepped forward, Malice tried to take in what just happened. 'Why did he explode? What the hell is this?!'
The feeling of warm blood on his face and clothes was still there, as prominent as ever. What just happened was by far the weirdest thing Malice had ever seen in his entire life. Perhaps because he was the first to notice, the shock was stronger.
