Crackle—
I barely managed to stop Lina from spiraling out of control.
There was a slight hesitation within the arms embracing her, followed by a faint nod of her head.
Good.
It was her silent acknowledgment to leave this situation in my hands.
As I turned back to face the vermin behind me, I noticed their collective sighs of relief, as if Lina calming down meant the ordeal was over.
How pathetic.
