*Pittar-patter~**Pittar-patter~*
Raindrops fell on the muddy street, all people hurried home, and the cold raindrops fell on Paul's face, jolting him awake.
A frown appeared on his face as he tried to stop the water from falling on his face with his hand unconsciously, but the cold raindrops woke him up as his body started to shiver from cold.
"Ugh!! Huff! Pant! Huff!! Wh-where! wh-what!"
Paul slowly stood up and looked around in confusion and only then remembered that he seemed to have fainted after tripping while running.
Thinking about the reason why he was running in the first place, a look of sadness flashed in Paul's eyes, but his face remained numb.
Just like how the peak of anger is 'Silence,' the peak of sadness is 'Numbness.'
At that moment, Paul felt nothing at all; he felt empty from the very bottom of his heart as if someone had ripped out his heart and made him an empty husk with nothing left inside.
