A cold void opened up inside me, and my heart plummeted into its depths. This wasn’t some show of intimidation; this was real, irrevocable violence. Around me, muffled gasps and horrified whispers filled the void left by Diamond’s fall, but I barely heard them. My mind spun, caught between revulsion and the harrowing understanding of what we were all part of.
“Everyone, shut up!” Killian’s voice boomed, pulling me back to the grim reality. The room fell into a heavy silence, the kind that speaks louder than any words ever could. “Can you just stop acting like animals for a second? Let’s talk.”

“Sorry for the theatrics, children,” he said, his voice smooth and calm, as if he hadn’t just walked into a scene straight out of a nightmare. “But Killian is right. Right now, we need to talk.”
