A few long seconds passed.
Then a dozen.
Then nearly half a minute.
Finally, Elane eased back from the wall and looked back at Rohan.
"Well?" He mimed.
Elane copied Rohan and mimed back. "…Steady breathing."
Rohan frowned, but continued asking. "Only one?"
Elane nodded, causing Rohan's nerves to ease up greatly at such good news.

"It's faint. Really faint. Whoever's in there is a very light breather, very controlled. They are definitely a strong Awakened, perhaps an E rank considering the place we are in." Elane's brows were knitted together.
"Other than that, I couldn't hear anything else."
Rohan glanced back at the door of the building, or what remained of it. The frame had long warped with age and the stress of the heavy stone and rocks keeping the building together, and the lower half looked swollen from countless years of moisture damage.
