It's getting worse. VIOLET: Blackouts?

That's a new one. ‐ You never blacked out?

with only mere seconds to ponder the recklessness

that brought him to this point.

And then, he felt it.

RIDGE: [shrieks] MCKENNA: He screamed in pain

as metal ripped through flesh and viscera,

penetrating the still‐beating heart of Ridge Reyes.
