Hamond collapsed to the ground, blood staining the earth beneath him, yet he mustered the strength to rise once more. Rurina, tears streaming down her face, rushed to his side and held him back gently, her voice trembling with emotion as she pleaded, "No, Hamond, you've done more than enough. Please, don't push yourself any further."
With a voice thick with pain and determination, Hamond whispered, "I'll keep you safe." Rurina's sobs grew louder as she held him close, their embrace a fragile shield against the looming threat of the menacing clown standing before them.
With a sneer, the clown taunted, "Come now, Hamond, is this all you've got?" Anger ignited within Hamond's eyes, fueling his defiance.
"Look around you," the clown continued, gesturing toward Hamond' wounded friend's struggling to rise. "Your friends are fighting to survive. If you give up now, you'll seal your fate alongside theirs."
