Delilah gestured for us to come closer, her expression grave as she gazed up at the sky, a weighty sigh escaping her lips before she began to speak.

“As expected, to be forewarned is to be forearmed.”

Rex’s brow furrowed in confusion as he listened intently, his eyes searching Delilah’s face for answers.

“What do you mean by that? And why weren’t you surprised when I mentioned Raina’s death?

Delilah’s voice carried solemnity as she began to recount the tale of Raina’s misguided actions. Her words were terse, each syllable laden with the weight of regret and forewarning.

“Your sister’s fiery temperament was no secret to me. She came to me with a reckless determination, fueled by jealousy and vengeance. She sought to harm her perceived love rival, blinded by her own desires and consumed by a thirst for retribution.”

Rex listened intently, his features contorted with a mixture of disbelief and sorrow as he absorbed the truth of Delilah’s words.

“I warned her of the consequences of her actions, cautioned her against the path she was intent on treading. But Raina was stubborn, unwilling to heed my counsel. She was determined to pursue her own course, heedless of the danger that awaited her.”

Delilah’s narrative settled over us like a heavy shroud, each word a somber reminder of the tragedy that has unfolded. Rex’s fists clenched with a silent fury.

“I… I never knew… I never realized how far she had fallen. How could she… how could she be so blind to the dangers that awaited her?”

Rex’s voice trembled with emotion as he spoke, understanding the harsh reality of his sister’s choices and their devastating consequences.

Delilah’s gaze softened with empathy as she regarded Rex, her voice gentle yet tinged with sorrow.

“There’s something I don’t understand… Why did the contents of the bottle gather back and attack Raina after spilling on the floor?” My voice broke the somber silence that took place. Delilah’s gaze shifted to me, her expression calm yet curious as she waited for me to voice my inquiry.

All eyes turned to me, anticipating, as we awaited Delilah’s response. With a knowing nod, Carlyle to voice his question.
