Norma, wounded but resolute, sought to avenge her injuries and prove her strength.In a fateful moment, Grace managed to seize an opportunity. With a swift and well-aimed strike, her blade found its mark, piercing Norma's defenses. Norma let out a cry of pain, stumbling backward, her strength waning.Logan's heart sank as he witnessed Norma's weakening state. The sight of her suffering tugged at his conscience, but he knew the harsh reality of the Games. Survival required difficult choices, and his allegiance lay with Grace.As Norma's life force ebbed away, Grace and Logan made the agonizing decision to leave her behind, their alliance intact but forever marked by the darkness that had consumed them. The night had claimed Norma's life, a haunting reminder of the brutality they faced.With heavy hearts, Logan and Grace retreated into the night, their steps burdened by the weight of their actions. The alliance that had once brought them a sense of security now carried a tinge of remorse. The echoes of Norma's final cries resonated in their minds, a reminder that in the arena, even friendship and trust could falter.As they moved forward, the bond between Logan and Grace grew strained.
