That evening in Weannas, the air was so humid that, as the sun was about to set, droplets of water hung in the atmosphere, forming a hot mist that clung to the skin.
As soon as the unit guards opened the door for him, Maxim stepped inside and turned toward the direction of his own house. Even before opening the door, before even stepping inside, he had already started unzipping the uniform clinging to his body, and he shut the door behind him.
Just as he was about to open the suffocated windows of the house, he saw Taras sitting in the armchair of the living room. Maxim, suddenly losing control of his power, released a ray wave, and the beam stopped just millimeters before hitting Taras. He managed not to scream, only growled, "Hey! What the hell are you doing here!"
