In moments like this, he was relying on Eden to guide him. Monsters were everywhere on the street. As more and more people transformed, he hid in the shadows, but whenever he needed to cross between them, he needed to be sure not to be caught, and he could only do that with Eden.
His vision couldn't see where all the monsters were, and his hearing was already overloaded, so he could never use it. The constant screeching of monsters and screams of the Readers was already too much.
His nose was also overrun by blood and other bad smells, plus he wasn't really used to having it be the thing guiding him, so that was a no-go. The only thing he could fully rely on was Eden, his ability to sense souls.
Sitting at the edge of a house, Aether closed his eyes for a second so he could concentrate, and so his vision wouldn't steal his attention as he monitored all the monsters around him that could see him. There was just a problem: one was staring at the space he wanted to run through.
