Silence… and once again the absurdity of what he said… like Rio couldn't even react to it, and not just him, even Amine and Hana were frozen, confused by the sheer absurdity of it… that he just said he was going to stab him… as a lesson.
It was the first time for them, for Amine and for Hana, to truly understand why Pablo said what he said. Why he told stories about Joseph, why he described him as an unstable but genius man… someone who isn't just unstable, but something far more dangerous.
Yeah, Pablo's words now made a lot of sense, as Joseph didn't even face them, they only saw his back, but could feel something coming from him… his voice was low, not threatening, there was no hesitation in it, no anger… no, there was not even a hint of that in his voice… and that was just terrifying.
It was the kind of voice you couldn't argue with, not because it commanded respect, but because it erased the very thought of saying anything, the very idea of resisting against it.
