“Paedyn.” Kai’s voice is so far away, so distant from where I’m slipping into oblivion. “Paedyn, open your eyes.” It’s an order, strong and stern. And I ignore it. How very typical of me. Even in death my body refuses to listen to the commands of the future Enforcer. “Open your eyes, dammit!” Tired. I’m so very tired. Far, far away, I hear a male voice muttering panicked words. “If you die, I’m going to kill you.”
