Croix blinked, caught off guard by the unexpected question. He looked at Felix, confusion etched on his face as he tried to decipher the meaning behind those words.

He paused for effect, letting the weight of his words settle in the air. "And that person? I dug her heart out with my bare hands."
A shiver ran through everyone in the conference room; it felt like ice had settled in their veins.
