"The stronghold" now.
Alana laughed. Cracked. Hoarse. Her body shook, blood weeping from the gunshot wound in her thigh, dripping onto the reeking marble.
"What's wrong, Arya?" Her lip was split, but her smile was pure venom. "Not ready to hear the truth? You're the root of all of this. My daughter's death. Ariel. All of it, because of you."
