The woman raised her voice.
"Demon or not, please make sure he dies. He did things to me no demon ever did."
Her hands clamped around the rail.
However, her words were met with hostility from the crowd. Boos echoed around her, and she soon became the target of thrown food and various objects.
The crowd turned with the speed of a thrown switch, hungry for whatever the spectacle asked from them.
As Ty's gaze lifted through the settling dust, he caught sight of the woman above him. For one breath, her black hair and pale face reminded him of Jade.
The sight pulled him back to his last moment with Jade, and to the pink thread she had entrusted to him.
Moving almost by instinct, Ty noticed a pink thread materializing in his hand. Brushing rubble from his shoulders, he saw Fernando basking in the chaos he had incited.
Unfazed, Ty leaped onto the railing, drawing the attention of the crowd and the distraught woman.
