Sora and Ren took Liam to the car. Alex wasn't home, and Gans was tracking Liam's pheromone. By the time Gans found him, they had already started the engine and driven away.
Gans didn't follow. He simply stood there and muttered, "Just wait, Liam. I'll find you. No matter what, I'll make you mine. You belong to me. We've already bonded, and no one else can have you but me."

In the car, Liam's pheromones filled the space, thick and overwhelming. He could feel it—he was about to die. Slowly, his vision began to blur.
"Hey, Liam, stay with me. Please, you can't fall asleep yet… please," Sora said, tears streaming down his face.
Liam's head tilted weakly against his shoulder, his breathing shallow and uneven. His fingers twitched slightly, as if trying to hold on.
"Sora…" he whispered faintly, his voice barely audible, Then his body went limp.
Liam's breathing was shallow, each inhale a struggle. His hands trembled against Sora's chest.
