Everyone in the room went silent upon hearing Joyce saying how she was going to let the plant suck on someone's soul.
Joyce looked down and said further, "For a while, I felt like I was completely possessed by the plant. I wanted that man to die so badly. I wanted the plant to erase his very existence. And it WAS already sucking that man's soul. When I finally came back to my senses, I wanted to seal the plant back. However, I couldn't move a centimeter away from that man."
"And?" Damien asked worriedly. "How did you stop? And that man… is he okay?"
Vlad answered the last part of Damien's question. "He looks okay. But he doesn't talk. I am guessing it will take some time for him to completely recover."
"I bet!" Damien nodded. "His soul is going to take quite some time to repair." He then looked at Joyce and tried not to make her feel bad about it. "But I bet he got what he deserved. There's no need to feel guilty because of some criminal."
