One by one, the hypnotized members of the team slowly started waking up. Lane waited for a while longer, before blinking a few times, his eyes gradually becoming more focused. Most of his teammates were still in a daze, but…
Lane couldn't really bear it any longer. While it was great to rest on Damien's lap, lying motionlessly on the ground and staring blankly at the sky while pretending to be hypnotized was just too boring! How could Lane possibly stay still for so long? He couldn't even distract himself by watching passing clouds, as the whole sky was clouded and grey, with no shapes to be distinguished. If he could at least snuggle up to Damien, or close his eyes, or roll to the side, that would be bearable, but lying like a wooden log for so long was simply too much…
He groaned, scrunching his face, and rubbed his forehead.
"What… What happened?" he asked, trying to make his voice sound as dazed and confused as he could.
