The folks in the room shot nervous looks at each other, all thinking, 'Go over it again? What the heck have we been discussing till now?' Kieran's demeanor was unusually intimidating, sending shivers down the spines of those present. They had never seen Kieran looking so formidable.

And Freya, on the ground, was covered in bruises and blood.
"Hey, maybe we shouldn't go too far, yeah? What if she dies? What then?"
Seeing Freya's condition, the lead inmate couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear. Despite the beating, Freya hadn't screamed once, only laughed. That laugh was chilling, even to her.
But before her crew, the inmate tried to sound tough. "Scared of what? We're following orders! As long as ve she doesh Pale, she has to talk!" With that, she walked over to Freya, yanked her up from the ground, and prepared to continue.
