@ShadowVentusThe itch had faded, but in its place, there was a strong pulsating feeling. The feeling seemed to emanate from somewhere within his spine, and the feeling just grew more and more powerful as the man got closer and closer, that was was what Albert assumed at least. It was strange knowing just how far away or close someone was, but this man wasn't just close, he was there, right outside the door.
Albert's breathing hitched for a moment as he saw the smoke starting to seep into the room from underneath the door. His feet moved faster than they had ever done before, and he didn't stop before he felt the wall against his back. He had nowhere to run, but just having the wall against his back made him feel slightly safer. His heart was going berserk, pounding so hard that it felt as it could smash right through Albert's rib cage. His whole body trembled as adrenaline coursed through his veins, and to him, it felt like ever fiber of his body was vibrating.
"Taka?" Albert asked, watching in disbelief as the cloud of smoke turned into a man, but watching the whole scene unfold made Albert feel strangely normal. It was a nice feeling, and it was nice knowing that he wasn't the only strange man out there.
"I'm hiding here, escaping the world so to speak," Albert admitted, doing the best to hide the tremor in his voice. He tried his best to smile, but it looked fake and forced.
"I'm Albert."
