[NIGHT TWO BEGINS]
Daily Rule Activated: Two Things Will Be Taken

They couldn't believed it at all, and their expressions and reactions said it all.
None of them moved. None of them blinked, and none dared to breathe out loud.

Two things?
Two things?!

Myra's jaw clenched.
Kieran looked at the screen like he wanted to slice it apart.
Yara's lips parted slightly, but no sound came out.
Even Aelric stopped moving.
Two things would be taken.
Those words echoed in their multiple times, and the tone the Universal System used- calm, factual, almost bored- made it even worse.
