After standing motionless upon the stairway for quite some time, Kiara finally reached a decision, and the moment that decision settled inside her mind, it felt as though a heavy stone had been dropped into a calm lake.
Ripples spread through her thoughts.

Every advantage she revealed here was an advantage that her future enemies might force her to replace.
Her revenge plan had always been built like a carefully stacked tower of stones.
Remove one stone carelessly, and the entire structure could collapse.
Yet as she thought of Arceus Silver waiting outside, thought of the mysterious existence that could casually suppress Juren Frost, and thought of the possibility that each new floor would be more dangerous than the last, hesitation slowly melted away.
