I realize now though that I should have been a bit more detailed with Luke's portion:

[i]On the other side of the park, Luke was still struggling to stand, his eyes burning. [color=f7976a]“Gah! What… What is this?”[/color] he grunted and tried to focus, but his vision felt strained. He stumbled through the crowd, accidentally running into Danny. [color=f7976a]“I’m sorry! Hey, you – you’re one of the guys that was trying to warn us, right?”[/color] he asked, squinting. Then he fell backwards, gasping out in pain as his eyes began to glow red. [/i]

I wasn't envisioning Luke panicking or freaking out, more like a single gasp as his eyes turned red for the first time. But that one's on me. I pulled Danny into the scene but didn't adequately detail what was going on with Luke, so I apologize for that. Is seems Danny is the one panicking, haha. I will course-correct that in my next post and will try and put more forethought into what kind of hot potato I am tossing to the other writers of the group.
