«I… I'll kill you, Shin!»
«Yuzu, what the hell are you doing?! Stop!» Chantal shouts, and throws herself between her and Shin.
«Chantal, please. Step aside,» Yuzu hisses — her eyes glinting with murderous intent.
The crimson sphere around her hand swells, pulsing with power — an attack fueled by every ounce of rage she's buried for years, all the hatred she's carried since childhood toward the man who killed her father and now stands just a few feet away.
If that magic were unleashed, it would obliterate everything within a half-mile radius — and Shin, in his current state, wouldn't stand a chance.
«Yuzu, please... calm down,» Rika begs through tears, clutching her sister's arm.
