"Escalating Tensions"

Part 2

Yui gently knocked on the bedroom door, her voice soft and cautious. "Aria, Hanabi, can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked, trying to sound calm and non-confrontational. There was a pause, and then Aria's angry voice came through the door. "Go away, Yui. This doesn't concern you." But Yui was not deterred. She slowly turned the handle and pushed the door open, her eyes scanning the room. Aria was on top of Hanabi, her hands grasping Hanabi's shoulders and her face twisted in anger. Yui's heart skipped a beat as she rushed forward, trying to intervene. "Aria, stop! Let her go," Yui said firmly, trying to pry Aria off Hanabi. But Aria was too strong, and she didn't budge. Instead, she turned her attention to Yui, her eyes blazing with fury. "Mind your own business, Yui," Aria spat, her voice venomous. Yui tried to push Aria away, but Aria was relentless. With a swift movement, she grabbed Yui and slammed her onto the bed, pinning her down. Yui struggled to free herself, but Aria's grip was too tight. She felt a surge of fear as Aria's face loomed over hers, her eyes wild with anger. "You think you can just waltz in here and tell me what to do? You think you're better than me?" Aria's voice was a low growl, and Yui could feel her breath hot against her skin. Hanabi, who had been lying on the floor, slowly got to her feet, her eyes wide with fear. "Aria, stop. Let her go," she pleaded, but Aria didn't seem to hear her. The room was silent, except for the sound of Aria's heavy breathing and Yui's muffled struggles. The other women and kids were frozen in the living room, unsure of what to do. Noa still sat on the couch, her expression unchanging, while Sara looked like she was about to intervene. But it was too late. Aria's anger had reached a boiling point, and she was beyond reason. Yui was trapped, pinned down by Aria's strength and fury. And it seemed like no one knew how to stop it.
