The commotion quieted down once again.
But this time, it wasn't due to attention and tension, but rather shock and surprise, with pairs of eyes filled with confusion, and no one knowing what had happened.

Burrow could clearly feel the gathering stares and scrutiny, and he could also feel the silence as the atmosphere cooled sharply.
From the heights to the depths in just one second, the extreme contrast happened, and he was the protagonist.
Like a slap in the face, hard and fast.
Young and successful, going smoothly, with ambitions reaching the sky; for Burrow, this was more aggressive and humiliating than any words or actions.
