Yelena noticed the statue-like state of Xue, raising her eyebrows in suspicion. She glanced at Cecil, who was holding onto her arm and Alric was panicking, flailing his limbs about as Cecil calmed him down.

Yelena glanced back at Xue, smiling knowingly, a wicked glint in her eyes.

Kai: "Wh-what did she just say?"

Kai: "Cecil...will die? Cecil will die?! N-no, that can't happen! Yo-you can't let that happen, Xue!"

Xue: "..."

Kai: "Xue? Hey, are you listening? Why are you not moving? Why are you not killing, for once?! Why are you being so quiet? Do something! Cecil...Cecil is going to die!"

Xue: "..."
