The elders and Ekansh, Vihaan, Aarav and Ansh were equally shocked as their siblings never spoke to them in such a voice.

They found themselves in a state of profound astonishment, uncomfortable silence lingered heavily in the air. Their typical interactions had always been marked by warmth and camaraderie, but now, a chilling departure from the norm had occurred. The voices, which had just resonated with an unfamiliar tone, was so uncharacteristic of their siblings. Each word seemed to carry an unexpected weight, laden with unspoken emotions, leaving them bewildered. They were feeling an unsettling mix of concern, confusion, and a tinge of hurt, as they wondered what had triggered this abrupt change in their sibling's communication style.
