Rage, an indescribable amount of rage filled Ester's heart as he held down Rueben. Intense rage which is heightened state of anger that is extreme and often overpowering. It goes beyond regular anger, resulting in a profound loss of control over emotions and actions. Individuals experiencing intense rage may feel an overwhelming need to lash out, whether verbally or physically, and may struggle to think clearly or rationally.
This level of anger can lead to destructive behaviors, harm to oneself or others, and long-lasting emotional consequences. It is often accompanied by physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, and a surge of adrenaline.
In this state of mind, it Ester's patience is practically at the edge as he is really close at losing himself, the only reason why he was still holding on to his reasons was because he is in front of her daughter. No matter what he can't afford to let her daughter see the ugly side of him.
