Melty scrambled backward on the ground, her face etched with pure fear as she held her hands stretched out before her in a desperate defensive gesture.
"No… no… no no no, stay away from me. Stay away from me!!!"
While she screamed, clearly having already opted for the idea of running away, her partner, Grok, screamed at the side, practically begging her.
"Don't run! Please come back! Don't leave me with this thing!!!"
Kai sighed out loud.
"I know I am not exactly much to look at, but to run from the mere sight of my face is truly disrespectful. In any case, are you going to leave your partner here? Knowing he would die?"
Melty looked at her partner's position, sweating profusely at the choice she was going to make, despite it being clear in her mind.
Because she was a mage, there were certain things she could see that most people could not. And in this case, she could see Kai for who he really was the moment he removed his mask.
