Oh Gods. Oh Gods.
Conrad. Conrad. Conrad. Oh Gods. Oh, Conrad...Dan Hiri-sama...Gods have mercy…
He tries to stay steady, but he the room feels like it’s spinning out of control. Yozak falls forward onto his knees, his eyes wide and horrified. He can hear himself breathing, but it's inconsequential. His heart might have stopped in that moment, for all he cares.
Conrad. Is. In. A. BOX.
"No one ever comes."
