The chapter begins with the atmosphere in the base thick with tension. Adam's sharp gaze is locked on the transparent shield, where the fake Tayo grips the unconscious fake Sona by the neck, her desperation fueling her actions. Sparks from her suppressed power flicker around her hands, threatening to ignite at any moment.
Zero's words echo in Adam's mind: "This is a critical threat. We need to separate these two immediately."
Adam takes a deep breath, his expression cold and resolute. He steps forward, standing just inches away from the glowing shield. "Enough," he says, his voice calm but laced with authority.
The fake Tayo glares at him, her grip tightening on the unconscious Sona. "You think you can intimidate me?" she spits, her voice filled with defiance. "Even if I'm trapped here, I will not let you destroy everything we've worked for."
