Rosalia — POV
Cassel wore a look of quiet contemplation and resignation as he stared at the three kneeling children.

He didn't seem to expect an answer; he simply continued,
"All right, stand up now, we'll take you and your father."
While the children lit up with joy, a woman shouted from the corner,
"You ungrateful wolves! Your uncle and I cared for you after your father fell ill and your mother died, and you still hid things from us? Why didn't you tell us about your powers?"
After a brief pause, she screamed at the girl,
"Come on, heal your uncle, you filthy brat!"
