You're the Danger

Lilith's footsteps echoed through the dense forest as she stormed away from Aluxio, her heart pounding in her chest.

Every step felt like an escape, an attempt to distance herself from the betrayal and lies. Her mind raced, replaying every word, every revelation, and every calculated look he had given her.

Father? The word felt foreign. Alien. How could the man who had lied, disguised himself, and deceived her so completely claim such a title?

She clenched her fists, her nails biting into her palms as she walked faster, trying to outrun the storm brewing inside her.

"Lilith, wait," Aluxio's voice called after her, low and filled with a strange mix of desperation and command.

"Stay away from me!" she shouted without turning back. Her voice cracked, betraying the turmoil within. "I don't want to hear anything else you have to say."
