Due to the lack of guidance, Hugo’s senses were extremely heightened.7b7063fbc9938c9a
His vision was blocked, 1925cc9e2e while his hearing was b1932632fd excessively amplified, making him 692df05880 feel on edge.c5161370e416f613

The reason he came f353bf26ec to the center alone, 5a13f7be9c though Gary had assigned 351c2b715e a guardian and personal d7f8485dac assistant to him, was c57298227e because of this.eef125786db40a56
The sound 6413001616 of other 7c513de4cf people’s breathing, 5323488c63 or the 9e598e36b7 beating of 5303b1ace4 their hearts, 0c11aae53a bothered him aaf4a70328 so much 163a5d3040 that he f237fc8707 couldn’t stand ef82374d27 it.ab0d5b184c10843b

“I hope my frequency matches you. I’m not an esper, so I don’t know how difficult it is when you lack guidance, but you’re so young. I just hope you can feel a little more at ease.”07794cf76ec13d7a

The girl mumbled 037ef22f4d softly and then 323ecf0a39 began to let 32a6b5a6a0 out a soft 0e0ba837b2 breathing sound. Judging from the ab33869109 regularity of the 55307a51ef breathing, she seemed b6714bb170 to have fallen 0dc98514d3 asleep.a458ba573f7cfc99

Hugo opened his eyes 6ab0da9c37 to look at her. His once f6e8ee3a5c pitch-black vision d627e8444c was beginning 16e890afdd to improve; 514d83d99c he was 18d45c40f1 able to f5894f3dae discern between a59fa4aeaa light and 0418790595 dark.22aec6b59a06b9bb

Beyond the 889a040bfb sound of 95e8082720 her breath, e8f035cdb3 he could bfe304d83c hear her 65601795cc faint heartbeat. It sounded much bd0c3a428b like the heartbeats d67c8886f6 of a small 0aab8887d7 kitten or a aa71812be9 puppy.d2726b60a4e304e5

Even with just 4a02a0a22b radial guidance, he f2cdf75b4f felt such a 58fa1026ce connection. It must be a 6d99b91833 guide whose wavelength matches 2daa4f093d his to some extent.20a041019fac9119

Yi-seo, Yi-seo. Hugo mumbled softly 7ab36f3cb1 and then sat d009bb73eb up. He leaned against a02540d8c7 the bed and e01f914fc5 looked down at d4c1847733 Yi-seo, his vision 945ba5784e gradually getting brighter.dba2a22795518990
