How destructive can sudden and all-consuming love be? Chang didn’t know, but he felt: love has now taken possession of him and leaves him no choice. Ilya stands opposite him, her eyes are full of tears, she looks at him with timid hope. It seems to Chang that she is about to fall unconscious, it is as if happiness has left her all at once, her hands are down and her head is drooping. Elijah exudes a feeling of hopelessness and imminent end. Ilya is fluent in the art of customization, and now she sees that there is no salvation from the gray brotherhood, and the walking dead will very soon be here, at the walls of her city. Who can resist them, who can defeat them? Is it really this stern steppe warrior who came from afar and turned out to be their direct relative? But is he so strong? Ilya suddenly clings to him like a little girl, and Chang timidly puts his arm around her shoulders and very quietly whispers in her ear: “Don’t be afraid (Chang wanted to add “sweetie,” but didn’t dare), Ilya.” Everything I've said is true, but I'm sure there is a way for us to win. My father said something about this, but I only listened with half an ear, and now I just need to try to remember everything in detail. And if I have a little time, I will definitely delve into my memory, and then we will have a weapon against them!.
