He was confused, never seen anything like this. In all the years he's known Sylvie, she'd never had any phobia for darkness. This was definitely new.

She looked tormented, and right then, Kage couldn't resist pulling her into his arms.

"Hey, Hey, it's okay. Come on," he pulled her into his chest, wrapping his arms around her.

The fear wracking her shoulders subsided, but she didn't stop crying.

"Please..." she whimpered. "Please, let me go...

It appeared she was pleading with someone to let her go. It dawned on Kage that it must be from her subconsciousness since she wasn't physically trying to push him away.

His heart shattered at the sight. It was the first time he was seeing Sylvie that broken. That vulnerable.

In that moment, he forgot all about the reason he hated her and simply wanted to comfort her.

The hatred hadn't vanished and he was sure that the next minute, he'd be hating her again. But for now, he was worried scared and wanted to hold her.

Sylvie still wasn't aware of her surroundings, but she suddenly felt safe. A strong wall had been built around her, separating her from the evil woman. This wall was so strong and warm and protective. She leaned into it and wept, still mourning the loss. Perhaps, if this wall had come up sooner, she wouldn't have lost her kids. They'd have been alive and safe.

"It's okay, you're safe," he continuously whispered to her ears while patting her arm the whole time.

They stayed that way for a couple of minutes until the lights came back on, brightening the place.

Just like a switch, Sylvie's nightmare disappeared, dragging her back to the reality of the room.

Her brows furrowed when she inhaled a familiar choco cologne that's always belonged to a particular silver-eyed man. A man she shouldn't be close to at the moment. Her eyes opened, and she realized she was in the arms of someone, her head resting on his chest.
