"I'm sorry about your husband… for blasting his head off. Look! I didn't want this, okay? It was the system, forcing me. I had no choice. I had to follow the rules, or they will penalized me."
The bride lunged suddenly, teeth snapping inches from his face. Sid instinctively rolled to the side, avoiding the bite with a sharp grunt.
"Hey! Stop trying to eat me! I know you're angry for what happened. He was protecting you… I get it. But I was saving you from I do not what."
