A brief silence lingered in the room as all eyes turned toward Emilia.
She sat calmly, but there was something different about her, something that made the others pause. Her face looked refreshed, almost lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. Ruth stayed close by her side, tending to her carefully, giving her the space to speak when she was ready.
Emilia let her gaze move across the room before she finally spoke. "I remembered something."
Kael, Ramos, and Ruth leaned in, their attention fully fixed on her.
Emilia turned toward Ruth, her eyes steady. "Did Jess reveal anything?"
Ruth shook her head slowly. "She hasn't yielded much. But it doesn't look like she is resisting either. It feels more like her memory has been wiped out, or… she had been made to vow."
"Everytime she tried to say the name,she wasn't able to."
Kael frowned and leaned forward. "What did you say?"
"Every time she tries to remember, she feels pain in her head," Ruth explained.
