Silence persisted between the six demigods as Damian watched them carefully. Kan and Kor were clearly struggling internally, their expressions shifting repeatedly as they weighed options that grew worse the longer they remained silent.
Behind them, the remaining four figures stood motionless beneath their cloaks, offering neither support nor advice. Their silence was unsettling. It was the silence of people confident enough to let others make mistakes on their behalf.

A loud exhale escaped Damian's lips. The waiting had begun to bore him. His violet eyes narrowed slightly as his consciousness reached toward the mansion.
'Break a hand please.'
His voice transmitted directly into the minds of Hazel, Ruby, and Racheal.
Barely a second later, a sickening snapping sound echoed from the direction of the mansion.
CRACK!
What followed immediately afterward was Rah's pained scream.
"Aaaahhh!"
