The world seemed to stand still as Shoothis received another message from Ainiri. The quantum waves pulsed with a sombre energy, transmitting news of a chilling nature. Their friend's "incident" had been no accident. It was murder — cold, calculated, meant to silence them. A clear signal that their quest for truth had attracted the wrong kind of attention.
A pall of silence fell over the Flowers. This wasn't simply an attack on one of them; it was an attack on their unity, their quest for truth, their defiance against the system.
In the face of this adversity the Flowers rallied. Their resolve, steeled by their friend's demise, solidified into a singular purpose: to fight. Not merely a fight for justice for the fallen, but a stand against the forces that sought to silence them. The garden was no longer a sanctuary. It had become a battlefield.
