Ethan froze in fear when he learned the truth—her time ability came at the cost of her own life force.
Without hesitation, he dismissed the idea of using it.
"Don't ever think about activating that skill," he said firmly. "If it puts your life at risk, then it's not worth it."

"Alright, I'll listen to you. So stop giving me that look," she said gently, reaching out to ruffle his messy hair.
"Besides, my time ability hasn't even awakened yet."
She sighed softly, realizing she had frightened him more than she intended.
Wanting to ease his worry, she offered a few gentle reassurances—even though, deep down, she knew her promise was only a white lie.
This kind of skill wasn't something she could easily set aside.
It was far too powerful, capable of tipping an entire situation in their favor.
