No breath followed, all eyes lowering to stare at the body on the ground.

Zoey froze completely, her lips trembling as she opened and closed her mouth. Clara was no different. Staring at Kyle's body on the floor, her mouth parted slightly. Even the Paragons in the distance reacted the same way.

Staring at Kyle's limp body, Seth blinked his eyes slowly, unable to understand the situation.
'What... just happened? He shattered his node? This is no different than killing him... But why would he kill him? Weren't they on the same side? Did he lose all reasoning? Was this why he did this? Did he turn completely useless?'
Questions crowded the doppelgänger's thoughts as it stared at Kyle's lifeless body. Even now, watching Kyle lie there, the doppelgänger couldn't make sense of it. This outcome, this entire situation, had unfolded in a way it had never foreseen.
