And the longer he absorbed the Reiki, the rate of absorption increased as well.

My grip tightened. “I said breathe.” My voice dropped lower, each word carrying weight. “In. Out. Match me.” I exaggerated a breath, slow, deep, filling my chest, then releasing it steadily. Her trembling lips tried to follow, shaky, broken, but each time she faltered I repeated it, relentless, until the ragged edge of her gasps began to sync faintly with mine.

“Please, stop it. Stop it.” But her voice, her presence, only seemed to engulf me further, wrapping around me like a suffocating blanket. “They will come for you. Come for me. Come for us.” The pressure built inside my skull, a relentless pounding that drove me to the edge. “Go away!” I screamed, my voice breaking with desperation.

Ramsey sat across from me, calm as ever, his eyes tracking my every movement like he could see straight into my body and mind. “I can’t get it,” I said, frustration thick in my voice. “Why exactly are you teaching me how to breathe?
