Unable to process the sudden reversal of fortunes, the three remaining degu users found themselves overwhelmed by a wave of conflicting emotions. Their faces twisted in a mix of shock, anger, and profound grief. Their eyes, once filled with determination, now mirrored the weight of the loss they had endured.
