"Very well... I'll begin," Ethan said, taking a step back as Lilivil, the mysterious book, floated before him. Its pages glowed with an ethereal light, casting an otherworldly glow on Ethan's face.
With Laura still positioned in front of him, Ethan brought his thumb close to his mouth and made a precise cut.
