He stared at the woman's vibrant smile, at the plans she showed him, and a strange pressure built behind his eyes. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. He took a long, slow breath, trying to regain his composure, but he could only manage a slight, confused tilt of his head. He felt very lost.
