Bronco spoke, commanding to the girl that she come to Reyes; his reaction was twofold: elation, for he loved his daughter more than anything, and jealousy that Bronco could do or say anything in relation to the family Reyes had built. But he knew deep down he had no family outside of Sapphique - Teya had made that clear.

He chose to dwell on the good feelings. To focus on them as he channeled his attention through the woods. Maybe that was why his heart ached; why it suddenly felt gripped - it was too much love, and hope, and yearning for better days. Reyes felt the constriction before he felt the breath falter in his lungs as they stopped functioning. Without blood-flow, things began to shut down.

He felt a pinch in his chest and a weakness to his right side. He sagged, even as he stared at the woods with an expectation that Sorana would be there - and in the next moment, he was in the dirt and struggling to breathe. It felt like his heart was being ripped out of him.

And then he felt nothing, because he was nothing.
