Arista's Code
Just then, Carmen, who had been hiding behind Benji, clutched her chest, went limp, and collapsed into Benji's arms.
Pale and weak, she gasped, "Benji… don't blame Arista. It's all my fault… I shouldn't be alive… I've dragged everyone down."
Benji's eyes reddened with anguish as he held her horizontally in his arms.
He turned toward me, and the murderous intent in his gaze almost seemed to seep out.
"Arista, if anything happens to Carmen, I'll make you pay with one of your hands!"
Cradling Carmen, he hurried out.
