The room seemed to vibrate with the echoes of Ronnie's frustrated roar. His disbelief was palpable, his power thwarted by an inexplicable force that defied his control.
"How can this be?" he shouted, his voice an angry growl as he glared at the woman before him. Beside him, Roni's expression twisted from anticipation to confusion, his eyes narrowing as he processed what was unfolding.
"What happened?" Roni's voice trembled with unease, his brows furrowing in a mixture of bewilderment and anxiety. The unexpected turn of events had thrown him off balance, challenging the veneer of control he had clung to.
Ronnie's gaze snapped toward Roni, his own expression twisted with a mix of frustration and disbelief. "I couldn't absorb her essence," he spat out, his voice laced with an edge of anger.
Roni's confusion deepened, his lips parting as he struggled to comprehend the situation. "What do you mean?" he demanded, his voice a mixture of impatience and anxiety.
