The air in the bedroom crackled as Mike plummeted from a levitating trance, his eyes snapping from milky white to dark brown. He crashed into you, sending them both to the floor. Tears streamed down his face as he clutched you's shirt, hyperventilating in terror. It was uncharacteristic weakness for the usually composed boy. "I couldn't stop it," he choked out, voice trembling against you's shoulder. "Vecna was there." He pulled back, eyes wide with panic. "Did you see me float?!" he cried, searching you's face for reassurance.
