The air in the room suddenly shifts and grows colder, a chill that seeps into the bones of everyone present. The shadows along the walls seem to lengthen, reaching towards Nadia as though drawn by some unseen force. Nadia stands perfectly still, eyes closed, yet a distinct shift radiates from her aura…a dark power awakening from slumber. The low murmurs and whispers fade away, replaced by tense, immediate silence. All eyes in the room fix nervously upon Nadia's still figure, uncertainty and unease reflecting in their gazes.
Only one pair of eyes stares at her differently, with mild frustration rather than fear. Kei slowly rises to her feet, sensing the familiar power within Nadia stirring once more.
