Lezard wasn't the only one who felt pause from the Shadow's sickening grin. Its words didn't help either and she felt as if she had been doused in ice water.

"...Kidnapping? Lezard, is that true? You didn't really do such a thing, did you?"

Grabbing for his arm now, she tried to pull him to face her. The look in her eyes was conflicted, half hoping it was just some kind of misunderstanding and half fearing it was all true and that she had come to trust, had been falling in love with a madman... The old doubts welled up again. Had he just been using her this whole time for his own purposes?
