Situation

The pain got worse as time went on, especially when Malachi started to branch out towards other pathways.

But, as the saying went, humans were adaptable creatures. Though the pain almost made him give up several times, as he went on with it, Malachi got somewhat used to it.

The pain was terrible, but when Malachi saw his progress, he almost forgot about it.

Well, almost, not completely.

If Malachi was to start loving the pain he felt, he'd hate himself.

From the start, a long time had passed.

Malachi even had to take a few breaks in the last few hours.

David wasn't in the van with him, and Leo wasn't practicing either; both were currently having a conversation a distance away from him as they kept an eye on the surroundings as well as on him.

Thankfully, David faced his direction multiple times, which made it easier for Malachi to use his powers on him to see his anatomy and the lit pathways in his chest.
