ARIA'S POINT OF VIEW

"What did you do?" I managed to choke out through gritted teeth, the burning sensation becoming unbearable. I felt as if my insides were being consumed by flames, and I feared I might lose control.
The pain was overwhelming, and something clicked in my head. I had been so careless and focused on Aria's recovery that I had neglected my own well-being. It dawned on me that I had unintentionally taken a sip of the poisoned liquid meant for Aria, and it was now wreaking havoc inside me.
The realization filled me with dread, but I couldn't let panic overtake me. I had to stay calm and find a way to neutralize the poison before it caused irreparable harm.
