The turning ritual
The sudden plea from Blake caught them all off guard. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they exchanged uncertain glances, grappling with the weight of his words. It was a stark reminder of the gravity of the situation they found themselves in.
Reggie's brows furrowed as he processed Blake's plea. He glanced at Nana, then at Gunther and Randal, silently conveying the weight of the decision they now faced. This wasn't just about Blake's life anymore; it was about their principles, their loyalty to Rose, and their moral compass.
Nana bit her lip, torn between her instinct to protect and her fear of the consequences. Gunther and Randal remained silent, their expressions unreadable, lost in their own thoughts.
Reggie took a deep breath, his gaze unwavering as he met Blake's pleading eyes. "Are you sure about this, Blake?" he asked, his voice laced with uncertainty. "It's a decision that can't be undone."
