Lila's grip on her pocket tightened, her jaw clenched. Andrew and the siblings immediately stepped in front of her, forming a protective wall.

He burst into laughter, holding his stomach as if he'd just heard the funniest joke in the world.
"What's so funny, you asshole?!" Andrew snapped, taking a step forward, but Lila grabbed his arm.
"Stop it, Andrew," she said firmly.

"Shut up, Andrew," Lila hissed. "You can't handle him. He's baiting you, trying to make you lose control. That's how Moss plays."
Andrew froze, glancing back at Moss, who wore a smug grin. "Hey hey," Moss said, wagging a finger at Lila. "That's no fun. Don't give away all my tricks."
"Annoying," the siblings muttered in unison, glaring at him.
