At that moment, Neil spoke calmly for the first time and said: — And how will we reverse it?
Sam looked at him, then said in a firm tone: — By using a strategy I created right here… quickly.
— I named it: The Absolute Crystal Fist.
Silence prevailed.
Then Sam continued: — Instead of moral depletion… we will kill them.
— Quickly, and with the least possible effort.
He turned to Emma and said: — Emma, I need you to come with me.
— We will eliminate the monsters without exhaustion.
Emma was about to speak, but Neil interrupted her immediately: — I am coming with you.
Victor said, taking a step forward: — I am coming too…
— But I want your weapon.
Sam looked at him coldly, then said: — Fine. Let's go quickly.
Then he turned to Nicholas: — Nicholas, can you give me your pistol?
Nicholas replied: — Yes… I will stay with Sasa and Layla.
— But my pistol only contains two bullets.
At that moment, everyone realized the truth.
Only four bullets…
Two weapons…
And a massive number of monsters.
Loss seemed inevitable.
Sam said calmly: — Do not be afraid.
— It is very easy.
Then he looked directly at Victor: — But do not fire… except on my command.
Anger flared in Victor's eyes, but he said: — Fine.
Then Sam turned to Emma and said: — You are smart and brave.
— You will stay here with Sasa, Nicholas, and Layla.
Emma replied coldly: — Fine.
Then he looked at Neil: — And you… you will stay without a weapon.
Neil's eyes widened, but he said calmly: — Fine.
At that moment, Park came out of the bathroom and said: — I think you forgot me.
Sam said: — You will stay here.
Then he looked at Victor and Neil: — Come on, let's go.
Sam stopped suddenly.
He turned to Layla and said: — Layla… consider this a memento.
He put his hand in his pocket searching for a candy, but his fingers touched something else…
Something covered in blood that had not yet dried.
Sam realized what it was, but he did not take the object out.
He pulled out the candy instead, and it was expired, handed it to Layla, and said: — This is an apology for my previous treatment.
— I am sorry, Layla.
Layla looked at him for seconds…
She said nothing.
Sam stood and opened the door.
Then he went out with Victor and Neil, leaving the room behind him…
And with him, the beginning of the massacre.
