Christian didn't move until he was absolutely sure the pair of man and woman had really gone away. Only then did he finally turn to Eva to check her condition properly, asking softly, "Are you okay?"
His tone was low, his eyes downcast; Christian, who thought he was relieved, that he was fine... didn't seem so. There was a subtle tension in his expression, but Eva, still shaking herself, didn't have the mind to notice anything as she replied, "Y-yes," her voice barely above a whisper.
Christian clenched his jaw, frustration welling inside him at his helplessness. She was clearly not fine, and yet he couldn't do anything to fix it. Troubled, he turned his head to the side… toward where his sister, Nina, and Sophia were.
But the sight that greeted him only made the weight on his chest heavier.
