David's face was filled with both amazement and shock. Sometimes he thought he felt like he could do something again. Like lifting a grain or something down that way. Like his powers were returning. But mostly he just brushed it away, blaming hope. But Payne showed him that somehow it could be possible. He had noticed the crimson blades. But for a moment he could not speak. He didn't understand what he meant by 'the camera is deactivated'. How did he do it? But amazement wasn't the only reason he couldn't talk. He was a little bit intimidated by the demonic voice. A short shiver shot through his spine.

"Did...did you just-" He tried to finish his sentence but something stopped him. Amazement, the lack of courage, new hope maybe? He couldn't tell. He swallowed deeply and gathered his wits again. A silent as possible he whispered. "Did you just...use your...you know...powers?" he asked. But fear was clear in his voice.
