I need to stay
Lei surveys Teo and notes each an every injury with a pinpointed focus. He looks as though he has the whole world in his hands, but the world is falling apart as he tried to hold it together. She seems so fragile Iike this, so broken, when she is usually our strength. I would have fallen apart long ago if Teo wasn't here for me.
Who knows what would have happened to me if I hadn't met her. She's the only one that has helped me without using me or asking for anything in return.
When he finally assesses the wound on her head, I gasp at the size of it.
"Shit," Lei swallows heavily before scrambling for his bag. He looks through it with fervor, as though if I say the wrong thing it will send him into a panic. His usually calm and cool nature is long gone, flitted away on the wind like Teo's consciousness.
