"Kyren, please, I implore you to hear me out! I don't want any war or conflict because of me," Anna pleaded, hoping to find common ground and a way to resolve the situation without resorting to violence.
But Kyren's patience had worn thin.
"I said let my hand go before I push you away! This is my last shred of patience!" he cautioned, his tone leaving no room for negotiation. His words carried a sense of finality, revealing his resolve to take action if necessary.
Anna's refusal was unwavering. She couldn't let go of her convictions and the belief that a nonviolent solution was possible. Her voice, filled with determination, clashed with Kyren's frustration.
"No!" she exclaimed with defiance and a refusal to yield to Kyren's ultimatum. She stood her ground, unwilling to change her choice.
