[Music: Eternity Of Reality By Yutaka Yamada]
Everything was still.
It had never felt so... quiet.
But then a sharp ringing drowned my ears, followed by other sounds I couldn't pinpoint coming together. I heard metal groan loudly, the clink-clatter of glass, and a distant voice.
The voice was calling my name, faint and almost... gone. I can't feel my body either… I can't feel m-my… hand.
"Catherine!"
Reed?
I want to move, but I'm unable to do so. I can't breathe. I'm suffocating.
"Catherine!"
Someone help me please… before I…!
I heard something ripped open, and I pulled away from the airbag, and I could finally catch air. I rasped heavily, trying to collect as much as possible, resting the back of my head on the seat before I moved my half-opened eyes to Reed.
Blood oozed from his head, sticking to his skin, and I wanted to ask if he was okay, but I couldn't find my voice.
He forced the seatbelt off me and pulled me out, carrying me in his arms.
"Call an ambulance!"
