Les knew the Seer was trying to help, but her words did not console her. Les felt light headed and her vision began to spin so she closed her eyes in an attempt to block everything out. She stood there for some time, focusing on breathing. The room erupted with sound. Everyone around her seemed to being saying something to her, or one another, but she did not hear any of it. All she perceived were loud muffles of sound floating about her. Someone close to her was trying to hold the attention of the room, but was failing. There was too much noise, too much chaos. The voices grew angrier and more determined to make everyone else see their own point. Les didn't want to be here anymore. She didn't understand what was happening, or why she was needed. Hesitantly, she opened one eye and took a small step backwards. No one seemed to notice. So she opened her other eye and began to turn, hoping that she could just leave. But no sooner had she turned around, than the entire room returned to silence. Les turned back around, startled by the change in volume. Each and every eye was on her.
