Vivienne steadied herself, gently easing Percival's hand away.

Approaching Jasper again, she listened to his strained breathing, her expression growing more serious by the moment.

Yuri hurried over, pressing down on the heel of Vivienne's hand with vigor.

"Vivienne, feeling any better?" Yuri asked with concern.

Vivienne nodded, standing up with the support of Percival's hand, a flash of disbelief in her eyes.
