'T-This is fear.'
Ken felt his heart pumping furiously as he was met with such resistance.
After what felt like an eternity, the pressure gradually receded, allowing the three to breathe normally once more.
Chris was the first to break the silence, talking loud enough that his wife could easily hear him.
"How about we all go to the public bath together and give your mother some space?" He said, some of the fear still evident in his expression.
"Ah, sounds like a good idea dad."
"Great idea!"
The two replied, glancing at Yuki every now and then to make sure the same thing wouldn't happen again. However, after receiving no response, they quickly made themselves scarce.
Chris too looked as if he was walking on eggshells. He lowered his posture and whispered to the two boys, directing them to go grab a change of clothes and meet him outside.
