Iris needed to uncover what happened to Justin earlier and why he had ended up like this.
She took a deep breath before delving into Justin's mind. However, as she tried to explore, she felt like someone was attacking her brain. She felt like there was a black hole in her brain that wanted to pull her there.
Her blood ran cold as she tried to pull away, stopping her exploration of Justin's thoughts. However, she failed. She couldn't do that. Instead, she experienced nameless pain that she had never felt before like her head was about to explode.
Unable to endure the excruciating pain, she gripped her hair tightly. Moments later, her knees weakened, and her breathing turned shallow.
...
"I-Iris... what happened??" Gavriel shouted as he noticed Iris's face turning pale as if draped in snow, her lips tinged with purple. He didn't get any response from her; only a howl in pain escaped through her lips, frightening him.
