"Hm?"
His head cocked, and my spine tingled.
I stood frozen, heart pounding in my chest, praying he would turn his head away as if this were some coincidence like it always was.
But... he didn't.
'He... He... He can sense me.'
"!"
My heart almost leaped out of my chest as he stretched his hand in my direction, seemingly trying to grasp me.
A massive palm loomed before my eyes, its shadow trying to swallow me whole.
Every nerve in my body screamed in terror as a notification flashed before my eyes, urging me to run, telling me that this was real, but I was rooted in place, paralyzed by an unknown force that stopped me from moving.
'Move! Move...! I need to move...!'
I couldn't let the hand touch me.
I couldn't...!
Swoosh!
...The hand phased right through me.
'Ah.'
