Jude, consumed by a volatile mix of grief and rage, paced restlessly, his eyes ablaze with a primal intensity. The monsters, sensing the latent threat posed by Jude's unchecked emotions, stood as witnesses to the precarious balance teetering on the edge of chaos.

Scarlett nodded in agreement, her gaze fixed on Jude's turbulent form. "Jude needs time," she whispered, her words laden with empathy. "We can't afford to provoke him further."
