Anju
Admittedly she’s grateful that the creature is focusing on Remi, and whatever the hell it was he said to piss the thing off and call him a liar. She’s more concerned with how disconnected she feels from Riya, and the oppressive darkness that even her fire cannot penetrate. Until all at once it is gone, revealing Gideon prostrate and pretty fucked up on the altar.
As soon as the entity speaks the Anju immediately grabs for Lena, hoping to hold tight to her arms and restrain her in a facsimile of a hug; a true one, if the girl turns into her shoulder to look away from what Anju is confident will happen. Whatever Remi does, she can’t allow the girl to try and intervene or beg for the man to be saved again. She has shielded her thus far, and won’t stop now. “Don’t move,” she commands in a voice rough with exertion. “Let him die.” Said both to Lena and to the room at large. Gideon doesn’t matter to her, and as a follower of Ludo herself, there is no fear on his behalf; Remi will unite him with Mort, and they can determine his sins later. Hopefully it will also appease the entity. One life versus four? It is easy math for someone like Anju.
Meanwhile she sends Riya towards the other two, fangs bared and ready to assist if they need her added might. Not that Anju thinks they will, but she feels otherwise useless holding Lena to her.

Anju grabs onto Lena with both arms as tight as she can to try and prevent her from going towards Gideon to help him. She then sends Riya towards Sera and Remi to be closer to help if things go south.
