Laurel turned back just in time to see James. Her eyes widened and she froze a little, he didn't look like that same man at all.

James was still half hiding behind Kalma but there was a rigidness to his eyes now, a coldness. He looked around at everyone without recognition, his head twitching to the right every few seconds in irritation at something.

"J.... J-James?" Laurel asked, trying to swallow the lump in her throat as he didn't appear to hear her. She took a few steps forward but Kalma put out a hand, motioning her to stop as she kept an eye on James. As soon as Laurel had moved his eyes had snapped onto her. There was something violent in them, dangerous. Without realizing it, Laurel took a half-step back. Rosen took a step closer to Laurel, also watching James.
