The crystal's dark energy pulses fiercely, sensing its hold on Kei weakening. It tightens its grip, flooding her mind with a surge of fear and anger.
Dark Voice: whispering menacingly "They will leave you, Kei. They will betray you. Only I can make you strong enough to keep them close."
Kei: clutching her head, tears forming in her eyes "No... no, they wouldn't... I... I can't lose them..."
Solara: reaching out "Mother, fight it! We're here, and we love you. You're not alone."
The crystal's dark energy lashes out, attempting to strike Solara. Aether steps in, summoning a cosmic shield around his sister. His calm voice reaches Kei's heart.
Aether: "This fear isn't yours. It's what the darkness wants you to believe. But I know you can break free."
Kei trembles, caught between the darkness and her children's voices, the memories of love struggling against the crystal's influence.
