Human gaze can carry weight under certain circumstances.
When Aiden was silently watched by a crowd that stretched endlessly like a tide, his breath nearly stopped.
It wasn't that the gazes of these human figures were terrifying. Rather, Aiden could feel the complex emotions swirling within each one.
Despair. Helplessness. Confusion. Fear... but above all else, trust and hope.
How many human figures were there here?
Aiden couldn't count them all.
If he had to describe it, it was like a sudden heavy rainstorm. Every drop of rain that hit the ground turned into a human figure.
"Zoey!" Aiden took a deep breath and whispered her name.
Zoey's small body was completely swallowed up by these human figures.
Aiden had no idea what was happening; he could only try to figure out how to get Zoey back to normal.
But what happened next made Aiden's eyes widen to their absolute limit.
Suddenly, all the human figures spoke in unison:
"I am here."
