I can barely breathe as I try to gasp in air all at once. Unsure whether I’ve made it to the afterlife or the grass field in the Combat area, I force myself with all my strength to pry my eyes open. The coughing and spluttering hasn’t subsided, but I need to see for myself where I am. My eyes burn, stinging from the sunlight filtering into my blurred vision, until I catch sight of a color. A color that settles my soul, and a soft sob falls from my lips. Holy fuck. I’d recognize those emerald green eyes anywhere.
