Thump! Thump—!
Kyle jolted awake as his body hit the floor, his face slamming into the cold ground. A groan rose in his throat, but he bit it back, swallowing the pain.
A constant ringing filled his ears, drowning out the world, while muffled screams bled through the noise like distant background noises.
'They're here!'
'...They came out!'
'How many are there?'
'There are only three! Quickly provide them with some aid.'
Kyle's mind was sluggish, a thick fog settling over his thoughts as he struggled to properly make out the situation. Where was he? What was going on? What was hap—
"Ah—!"
But he was quick to snap out of it when his eyes flared open.
"Seth!"
He sat up immediately, looking around before settling his gaze towards the distant Team Leader.
His voice immediately rose.
"Team Leader! You need to quickly send a rescue squad! Seth is still there! He—"
"Stop."
