CKai felt it before anyone said anything.
A shift.
Sharp.
Burning.
Different.
"…what is that…?" he asked.
Riven stopped.
"…someone new."
The air felt hotter.
Not physically—
But in presence.
"…I don't like that…" Kai muttered.
"…you shouldn't."
A figure stood ahead.
Still.
Waiting.
Then—
She stepped forward.
Red hair.
Sharp eyes.
Cold expression.
Power radiating from her like controlled fire.
"…Riven," she said.
"…you finally showed up."
Riven didn't react.
"…Mira."
Kai's chest tightened.
"…who is she…?"
"…someone you don't want to provoke."
Too late.
Her eyes locked onto Kai.
The pressure spiked instantly.
"…so that's him…" she said.
Kai frowned.
"…what's that supposed to mean?"
She stepped closer.
Slow.
Dangerous.
"…you're the reason she's dead."
Silence.
Kai froze.
"…what…?"
Her gaze burned.
"…Lina."
The name hit hard.
Kai's breath stopped.
"…how do you—"
"…I'm her sister."
Everything went still.
