Chapter 19

For the past week, the Life Chamber had taken up most of Kira's time. It was in the middle of the night- he was sitting by it looking over some documents- when something odd happened. The chamber started to vibrate and a faint, yellow glow was emanating through the glass. Kira jumped out of his seat; the papers scattered about the floor.

He watched with wide eyes as the chamber glowed and hummed. He placed his hands over his ears.

What's going on? He thought.

He pressed his hands tighter, and, with the light growing, he shut his eyes. The hum became a buzzing in his head; he nearly fell to his knees. But then it stopped. As soon as it started, it finished. Kira rushed to look through the glass at Cagalli's face. Kira could feel his heart sink. For the first time in months, Cagalli's eyes were open.
