Lyra walked toward him, confused.

Their two earlier brief touches had felt like sudden jolts of static–unexpected, yet something he could endure.
He had never imagined that simply spending a little longer in contact with his spirit animal would unleash that prickling, crawling tingle that seeped through his bones, pushing him dangerously close to losing control right then and there.
Stuck for words to describe the sensation when she asked, Hadrien struggled to reply.
It was far too awkward to put into speech.
“Mm p>
Hearing that low response, Lyra asked again, “What kind of feeling? Can you tell if your contamination level is dropping p>
As she stepped away from the nightmare beast, that indescribable sensation slowly faded.
Hadrien cleared his throat.
“…No p>
No?
Lyra blinked in confusion.
She replayed her interactions with the other Sentinels‘ spirit animals inside her head.
She recalled how the scales across Draven’s skin had visibly faded after contact.
How had she interacted with the red fish?
Lyra walked back toward the nightmare beast, opening her arms and wrapping them around its neck.

When she worked, the red fish would rest on her shoulders or press against her neck.

The instant her arms closed around the nightmare beast, Hadrien’s breath caught sharply.
It felt as though invisible hands squeezed his heart. The unfamiliar sensation left him adrift, and he held his breath.
That same tingling warmth washed over him in waves once more, sinking deeper into his bones, draining his strength until his limbs grew weak and heavy.
Heat bloomed at the base of his neck, as if Lyra held him rather than his spirit animal.
The thought of her embracing him directly made his breathing quicken, a nameless restlessness lodging tight in his throat.
His mouth turned dry.
Despite the torment rippling through his body, Hadrien stayed perfectly still. He gritted his teeth hard to trap any broken sounds from escaping.
Lyra held the nightmare beast while twisting her head to watch his reaction.
The air inside his helmet grew stifling, and heat flooded his face.
Part of him thought the helmet needed replacing badly, yet he was grateful it hid his expression and preserved some shred of his dignity.
Slowly, faint, persistent aches began thrumming in his mind.
It was as if someone plucked his fragile nerves the way one plucks the strings of an instrument…
Lyra spotted Hadrien swaying and rushed toward him at once.
She steadied him and shook his shoulder gently.
When he gave no response, she quickly lifted his helmet visor.
Hadrien’s brows were drawn tight. His face flushed from shallow breathing, dotted with fine beads of cold sweat.
He looked to be in terrible pain, still biting down hard on his lower lip to muffle broken whimpers.
The scene struck a familiar chord inside Lyra. She instantly thought of Felix.
The first time she touched the crow, he had collapsed on the ground in exactly this state of

That sly man had known her secret back then. Instead of telling her the truth, he’d settled for letting his spirit animal play the part of a pitiful creature, begging for attention.
It had inspired Draven and Lucian to copy the same trick afterward!
But she had no time to dwell on the irony of his scheme backfiring now.
Lyra stared worriedly at Hadrien, unsure what she ought to do.
Color drained gradually from his flushed cheeks, leaving him pale. She wiped the cold sweat from his skin.
She glanced back toward the nightmare beast.
It stood calmly in place, seemingly unaffected by everything unfolding around it.
No wonder Rhys and the other Sentinels who loved crowding the windows to watch had vanished when she played with the spirit animals.
Those guys!
Annoyance flickered through Lyra.
Soft brushing against his face pulled Hadrien back to awareness. He slowly opened his
eyes.
A blurry face swam into focus, resolving into Lyra’s features–her brows knit tight, her eyes heavy with concern.
When he opened his eyes, Lyra quickly gestured to ask how he felt.
Whether he understood or not, she just needed some sign of response.
Hadrien parted his lips, his voice barely audible.
Neither of them had anticipated seeing him reduced to such helpless fragility.
His usual stern face lacked all color, his lips pale like delicate, pale pink cherry blossoms.
The calm, cool light in his eyes rippled, like stone tossed into still water, spreading shimmering waves. For a moment, he looked strangely vulnerable.
Lyra could not hear his quiet words and leaned closer.
Hadrien drew in a sharp breath.

Afraid she was pressing against him uncomfortably, Lyra pulled back quickly.
He still could not speak through the discomfort.

Lyra turned, planning to stand and fetch him a glass of water, only to notice a long, well- defined hand had wrapped firmly around the hem of her tunic without her noticing.
Lyra glanced down at her clothing, then back to him.

Without her support, Hadrien slumped weakly to one side, yet those soft, liquid eyes never left

Lyra stood at once and hurried off to pour a cup.
