A Game Played

In the distance, Kaiser and Kim stood silhouetted against the backdrop of chaos, their expressions grim as they observed the dark forces swirling around Samantha's residence. They knew all too well the perilous nature of the situation, aware that Kathleen was already inside, preparing for the ritual that could have dire consequences.

"I see," Kim remarked with a chilling satisfaction, her lips curling into a sinister smile as she observed Junel's approach from a distance. "Jess truly took the bait," she added, her voice laced with a cruel amusement at the sight of her pawn, Junel, laboring towards Samantha's house.

There was a dark gleam in Kim's eyes as she watched Junel's apparent struggle, reveling in the power she held over him. To her, he was nothing more than a pawn in her twisted game, a tool to be used and discarded at her whim.

As Junel stumbled onward, Kim's admiration was not for his resilience, but for his unwitting role in her malevolent scheme.
