Arthur continued his breathing rhythm, sweat dripping down his face, his body trembling from exhaustion.
Then suddenly—
A thought flashed through his mind.
'…Wow.'
A faint grin appeared on his face.
'In this cursed day… I finally heard some good news.'
And in that exact moment—
His rhythm broke.
THUD.
Yuna's fist slammed straight into his gut.
"—GHH!"
Arthur's body folded instantly, but before he could collapse, he forced himself upright. His breathing snapped back into place almost immediately as he inhaled—
Held—
TSH.
Released.
Yuna watched closely.
Then she nodded slightly and said, "Good… from now on, this is how you breathe. Make it a habit in your everyday life."
Arthur kept breathing, his chest steady now.
Yuna continued, "When you walk… when you eat… when you sleep… even when you're doing nothing… this rhythm should never break."
Arthur nodded silently.
Too tired to speak.
But he understood.
Then—
He continued.
Another hour passed.
