A soft, golden glow radiated from Alex's palm as he activated [Resurgence]
Eve's body lit up, bathed in the warm energy.
Her bloodied lips stopped bleeding.
The gashes across her skin closed.
Cracked bones shifted and snapped back into place with a subtle hum.
Strength returned to her limbs, and her breathing steadied.
Her eyes shot open.
She gasped and sat up, blinking like someone waking from a nightmare.
Then she looked at him.
Speechless.
Alex raised an eyebrow and muttered casually, "You're welcome."
That snapped her out of it.
Her eyes narrowed, and she said slowly.
"I didn't exactly ask you to help."
"Fair enough," Alex said, his tone calm, unreadable.
He hadn't done it for thanks.He just wanted to test his new skill—Resurgence. Simple as that.
He stood up, brushed his hand off on his pants, and turned to walk away.
But then he heard her voice behind him. Soft. Almost embarrassed.
"…Thank you."
