The utility office is crowded and noisy as Odelia steps inside, clutching overdue bills. The weight of her struggles drags her down, but she forces herself to move forward.
Odelia Ginger / FL
Muttering to herself "Hudson needs me to do this. Just get through it."
She waits in line, fidgeting nervously. Her vision begins to blur as exhaustion takes its toll.
Odelia Ginger / FL
Softly to herself "One step at a time... Don’t stop now."
Her legs feel unsteady, and the counter becomes her only support.
Odelia Ginger / FL
Whispering "Not now... Please, not now."
Suddenly, her legs give way. As she collapses, a man steps forward, catching her before she hits the ground. His expression is calm, almost unreadable.
？？？
Silent, watching her carefully as she faints in his arms.

An old age woman steps forward quickly, alarmed.

"Atlas, she’s fainted! Get her somewhere safe."
？？？
Without a word, he lifts Odelia effortlessly and carries her out of the office.
Outside, Atlas places her on a bench. His face remains impassive as his mother examines her.
K Oleander/ ML MOTHER
Gently brushing Odelia’s forehead "She’s overexerted herself. We can’t just leave her like this."
Atlas’s gaze lingers on Odelia for a moment.
？？？
Finally speaking, *coldly*"
Do what you need to."
