Thinking a bit further, he pressed her number with nervous impatience.
It should be said, the series of actions he took to return to reality and make the phone call, due to his quick reaction, took at most thirty seconds.
Ring—
The phone rang, behind him.
He suddenly froze, thinking he had dropped his phone, but clearly, the phone was in his hand, still dialing, while the ringtone behind him was getting louder and louder.
Turning around to look, he saw a rock below the pavilion, with a tree behind the rock. From the sound, the phone was ringing behind the tree. The small locust tree wasn't thick, seemingly having been recently transplanted, unable to entirely hide a person. Thus, behind the trunk, the familiar green military uniform immediately caught his eye.
Unmistakably familiar.
No, just on instinct, he could guess who it was. So, he decisively ended the call, and the ringtone behind the trunk vanished at the same time, confirming his suspicion.
