“Why did you try to kill yourself, Jai?” Asha demanded shakily. “Why did you try to break the connection?”

She could still feel the pulsing rhythm of her heart in her ears and that awful sound that vibrated her entire body like a tuning fork. Jai had jumped from the roof of a four story building, and the resulting impact had transferred to the others and nearly incapacitated them all. Beri, Leko, Yenova and Gray. Asha couldn’t stop the trembling of her hands. “Why did you try to kill yourself??” she shouted.

Jai looked at her, soulless. “Headache.”
