Chapter 1956

Nash's fist froze in midair before it made contact. Marie opened her eyes carefully and caught the glimmer of consciousness that Nash had regained in one of his eyes. "Run! Quickly!" his voice came out in a desperate plea. He was still trying to hold himself back as he stuttered. Marie, who was on the ground, was gripped in fear. She could not fathom where her earlier courage had come from. When she came back to her senses, she found that her legs had given out on her. Nash continued to struggle fiercely while Sven writhed in the rubble, seemingly having reached his limit. It did not look like anyone was going to come save them now. Step by step, Nash's body approached them. Despite his intense inner struggle, his body seemed to shrink away from his influence. Eventually, Nash's body moved slowly toward Marie. His left hand was no longer holding back his right and was now reaching forward. Only Nash's eyes remained his own, tearful with regret. "Somebody... Somebody stop me."
