Everything came to a standstill once Charlie Suzuki's voice echoed in the rift. No one expected her to be the one to be sacrificed. No one wanted to say anything, too afraid that they would break the serenity of the atmosphere.
But someone had to be the bearer of bad news. Someone had to ask the tricky question and confirm what Charlie Suzuki meant.
"Mother, this is not funny! What do you mean you want to be the pivot here? You are the one person who should get out no matter what. The divine guild is dependent on you! What will happen to everyone if you end up dying?"
Helios questioned before he stepped in front of Charlie Suzuki to block her way. He looked determined to stop her from moving past him.
And Helios was not the only one determined to stop Charlie from stepping deeper into the rift. The other children inside the rift held their ground as well. They had already decided the outcome of this conflict.
