Joy and Carmela stood there, completely speechless.
Cassius had just dropped a storm of revelations.
Words so immense and cryptic that their minds could barely keep up.
It was as if he'd handed them entire volumes of forbidden scripture—books filled with the secrets of creation, of life, of divinity itself—only for those books to be written in a language neither of them could decipher.
And the only man who could translate them stood before them with a teasing smile, refusing to utter another word.
The frustration was unbearable.
Joy's fingers twitched—she had the overwhelming urge to grab him by the collar and shake the answers out of him.
Carmela bares her fangs out of sheer irritation.
He had answered so much...yet explained absolutely nothing.
They'd come here for clarity. Instead, they'd been handed chaos wrapped in charm.
All the while, Cassius merely watched their reactions with a quiet amusement, as though he already knew what they were thinking.
