"THALIA!"
Cruxius, in that fleeting moment, clearly saw the figure of the woman falling through the transparent glass window.
His mind, entirely focused, accelerated—freezing time just enough for him to catch the shock, surprise, and tears on her face. It was enough for him to understand who pushed her—her stepsister.
Bam!
'...Thalia?'
The sound of her collision with the ground, though distant, echoed clearly in his ears.
She had hit the ground hard—hard enough for him to know as he slowly stood up from the step he'd been sitting on.
Knowing Thalia's personality—just how unlike any other woman she was, still strong even after what happened last night—he knew she wouldn't commit suicide.
He stepped forward, placing his hand on the glass, knowing the last person he would have met was his stepsister. His gaze turned cold, anger flaring in his eyes as he spoke:
"Darithi, break this glass."
"Sorry?"
