The tension in the room was suffocating, a heavy fog that clung to every surface, threatened to choke the air out from their lungs.

It was as if the very atmosphere had grown thick, like glass on the verge of shattering.

Aria's eyes narrowed, her gaze piercing as she turned to Ryan. "So that's how you could explain all that when I asked," she said, each word dripping with accusation.

She remembered the conversation vividly, the way Ryan had recounted the events leading to the world's down fall with precision. His knowledge had seemed almost... suspicious, as if he'd witnessed the catastrophe unfold firsthand.

Now, the truth hit her like a sledgehammer, Ryan who has been her savior, was the owner of Yati, the company responsible for the devastation.

"It all makes sense now," Aria said, her tone laced with disillusionment. "Your detailed accounts, your insider knowledge...You weren't just a bystander."
