Elaine's expression shifted to a mixture of surprise, confusion, and a hint of unease.

"What... do you mean by that?" she asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

Ares turned his head slightly, his eyes meeting Elaine's as he continued with an air of detachment.

"...I know you are a psychotic woman who takes pleasure in being defeated by someone stronger than you," Ares continued his words cutting through the air. "You prioritize your goals above all else, showing little concern for anyone in your path."

Elaine's hands clenched around the steering wheel, her knuckles turning white as Ares's words struck a nerve.

Ares continued speaking, dredging up memories she thought were buried deep within her.
