Things were rapidly spiraling out of control.
Alvara, as I had feared, had already succumbed to her inner turmoil and snapped completely. The situation had escalated far beyond what anyone could have anticipated. What surprised me most was Cylien's unexpected awakening during her battle with Alvara. In the heat of their conflict, she had managed to wound Alvara, but in doing so, she unintentionally triggered Alvara's deep-seated trauma, pushing her over the edge.
If not for Dentiel's timely intervention, Cylien would have undoubtedly met her end at the hands of Alvara, who, in her frenzied state, had no reservations about killing. This was no longer the behavior of a mere villainess; Alvara was rapidly transforming into the Major Antagonist she was always destined to become. Her actions had become increasingly ruthless, and she had begun to show no mercy, not even to her own kin.
