Lana exhaled slowly before finally speaking.
"I understand that you're a good person," she said, her tone calm but distant. "But that doesn't mean I can ignore what you've done."
Her eyes met Brenda's directly.
"You're not entirely evil," she continued, "but you're not innocent either."
A faint bitterness lingered in her voice.
"I can't reconcile those feelings," she admitted. "So it's better if we… keep our distance from now on."
Brenda's face turned pale, her lips parting slightly.
"I'm sorry…" she whispered again.
But Lana simply shook her head and walked away, leaving her standing there alone.

But as she read the message, her face drained of color.
"So… the Perry family failed," she murmured under her breath. "And Lana already knows the truth…"
