"Sam...." she whispered while staring at him and then yelled, staggering back as she dropped Lakresha to cover her ears. "No! Shut up! Sam! I said — my husband! Get out — can you hear me?!"
Samael and Heliot watched Lilou scream as if there were two people speaking at the same time. The former took a step forward without thinking but stopped when Lilou glared back at him.
"Don't come!" she snarled before screaming once again until she was on her knees. Her screaming resounded across the silent throne hall as if she was losing her mind.
"Lilou," Samael called as a sliver of hope peeked through his heart. His breath hitched when the screaming stopped and Lilou remained curled up on the floor. Her back was shivering while murmuring.
"Lilou." This time, Samael rushed to her without care of his own safety. He squatted down to her side, hesitant to touch her just in case he would hurt her.
