At the Planning Room


Chris: Lawrence, why did you send only one ranger to each location?


Lawrence: Chris, I'm confused. Shouldn't we have more support in each district?


Chris: There's a reason, Lawrence. Maxine, Joy, and Ethan each have unique strengths. Alice, Daniela, and now Brittney—they're their younger siblings and can step up when needed.


Lawrence: I see your point, but is it enough?


Chris: Trust me. We've seen what happens when they unleash their full potential.


Lawrence: Alright, I hope you're right.


Chris: Sometimes, the spotlight needs to shift for the others to shine.


Lawrence: Let's hope they shine brightly today.


Meanwhile, at the Southern District


Brittney: (doubting herself) Can I really do this? Did I let Ethan down by not doing anything when he almost got killed by Francis?


Brittney: (blaming herself) I should have done more back then. Now, I'm here, and he's risking his life for us.


Brittney: (struggling with self-doubt) I can't protect anyone. Not Ricky, not Raven, not Ethan. Why do I even try?


Brittney: (being bothered by her thoughts) Stop it. Focus on the fight. You can't afford to be overpowered by these hordes.


Brittney: (trying to push away doubt) Don't think. Just fight. But it keeps bothering me.


Brittney: (realizing the reason for doubt) Ethan almost died because of me, and I did nothing. How can I protect my friends if I can't even protect my own brother?


Brittney: (finding an answer) No more doubt. I need to be stronger, like Ethan. I won't let anyone suffer because of me again.


Brittney: (embracing newfound strength) I can't doubt myself anymore. I need to be strong, not just for me but for everyone relying on me.


Brittney: (unleashing her power) Ethan, I won't let your sacrifice be in vain. I'll be strong, like you.


Meanwhile, from above the battlefield


Francis: (whispering to himself) Shit, of all the locations Arwin instructs me to go to, it had to be the Southern District. And the worst part is, it's Ethan's younger sister, Brittney.


Francis:(reporting to Arwin through earpiece) Arwin, we have an unexpected situation here. It's Brittney, Ethan's sister. She's holding her ground, and I think she's stronger than we anticipated.
