"Josh...I..." Jeff wants to say more, but Sara puts a hand around the back of his neck, gripping tightly. The pain is enough to force Jeff to keep his head low and say nothing. He can't even fight back against Sara, not when she's the one who gave him this power. The power to reach the Nexus.

"You can try to go back to your old life, Joshua. Or I can help you tame the darkness within. Maybe you'll be a better student than Jeffrey..." She digs her claws into Jeff's skin, drawing a dark black substance which clearly isn't blood. "You can have it all. Money. Power. Any wish your heart wants, I can grant it."

Jeff manages to look up at Josh, after being forced to stare at the dropped wine glass. His eyes are full of concern and worry, as if he wants to tell Josh to say no. Don't take her offer.
