    Thssa''s head was buzzing, her body trembling as her breaths came in fits and starts. Her hands


    shook as she reached out to touch him, but then she froze.


    She was scared to touch him, scared that he might shatter at the slightest contact.


    Tears blurred her vision, and the shrill cries of the reporters echoed around them. But to Thssa, it


    was as if the world had muted. It was as if she was watching a silent film filled with a bleak, deste


    sadness.


    "Call an ambnce... yes, an ambnce..." Thssa''s panicked thoughts finally found some


    semnce of coherence. Fumbling, she pulled her phone from her pocket.


    Her trembling fingers struggled to tap the right buttons on the screen, and with great difficulty, she


    managed to dial the emergency number. Her voice, choked with tears, was barely audible as she cried


    out for help.


    "Please, someone''s fallen... fallen from a building..."


    Leopold, you have to be okay. The ambnce will be here soon. Thssa''s hand shook as she clung


    to her phone as she prayed.


    The reporters who had been screaming in shock just moments ago were now pulling themselves


    together. Their fear was reced with a morbid fascination. Cameras were being pointed at Leopold


    and everyone was vying for the scoop of the day.


    An intense sh of light caught Thssa''s eye, and she looked up to see the cold, relentless camera


    lenses focused on Leopold''s broken form.


    A shrieking wave of pain surged within her as if her heart was stabbed. And with a roar of defiance, she


    staggered to her feet and lunged at the reporters, trying to push their cameras away.


    "Stop filming! Stop it!"


    "Get back, stop filming! Please, just stop!"


    Leopold had always been a young man of grace. He wouldn''t want to be seen in such a state, to have


    his pain and suffering disyed for the world to see.


    Through the agony that threatened to tear her apart, Thssa managed to push back the circling


    reporters and create a small safe haven around Leopold.


    Ethan, too, hadn''t expected the fallen figure to be Leopold. After a moment of stunned disbelief, he saw


    Thssa struggling with the reporters and rushed forward to help her keep them at bay.


    "Leopold, my boy!" Amelia cried out from the 18th floor window, her heart aching as she watched the


    horrific scene unfold below. The pain was unbearable.


    Just moments ago, Leopold had been standing there, talking to her. And now... now he was lying on


    the cold, unforgiving concrete. Amelia couldn''tprehend the reality of the situation. Her legs gave


    way beneath her, and she copsed in a heap.


    She cried out as her tear-filled eyes caught sight of the swarm of reporters below.


    Lysander, too, was shocked. His pupils constricted as he turned to leave.


    Amelia spotted him, and with thest bit of strength she could muster, she stumbled over and grabbed


    onto his pant leg.


    Lysander stopped in his tracks; his gaze hardened as he looked down at her.


    Amelia choked back a sob, pleading, "Lysander, I beg you, don''t tell the reporters about the explosion


    being connected to Leopold. Isn''t the price he''s paid for this tragedy enough? Please, let him keep


    some of his dignity."


    Lysander clenched his jaw, his cheek muscles twitching. He tried to pull his leg away but Amelia held


    on tight.


    "Please, promise me, Lysander. Leopold has always respected you and do you really want to see him


    ruined?" Amelia pleaded, her heart aching so much it was hard to breathe.
