Axel pushed off the wall, arms thrown up. "Are you insane?"
Beatrice's brows furrowed, her normally calm demeanor cracking. "That's—Alister, that's not how healing works! You're not even a healer! Even if your body is strong, blood transfusions don't just—"
Anzo took a sharp step forward, his jaw clenched. "Is this some kind of joke?"
Blitz, however, was the loudest. "Hold on—hold the hell on! Since when was that a thing? You never mentioned your blood can heal!"
Alister took the barrage of reactions with his usual composure, crossing his arms as he let them get it out of their systems. Then he spoke again, voice low but absolute.
"It wasn't something I ever planned to use," he admitted. "But Lila's not waking up. If normal healing isn't working, then we try something else."
Beatrice shook her head, still looking skeptical. "Even if—if—this works, there's no way to know what will happen to her. You could make things worse."
