For as much as he said he didn't care about her, Saeran did visit her a lot. Admittedly, a lot of it was to threaten her, but it was like he cared so much about her knowing that he didn't care. She huffed slightly as she sat back in her chair. He may go by a different name now, but the desire for her attention remained the same.
The door slammed open and she had to stop herself from snorting, instead burying her face in her open book. Saeran was here and made sure his presence was known.
He went into his normal spiel about how she was a toy, and how she didn't matter in the larger scheme of things. Her ears did pick up when he said how easy it would be to get rid of her. No one would notice.
She snapped her book closed, cutting him off as she stood up.
"You know what I think?" She asked him voice soft. He opened his mouth, most likely to tell her that he didn't care, but she continued before he could. "I think you're afraid."
"I'm strong. I don't get afraid." Saeran spat out, green eyes narrowing at her.
"Mm, so why haven't you killed me yet? You've had plenty of opportunities and yet here I stand. A little hungry, but still in excellent health." She gestured around herself, raising an eyebrow at him.
"You're still a decent enough toy."
"You keep saying that but then you turn around and tell me I'm worthless? What's the truth, Saeran?" She started walking towards him, and his eyes widened slightly.
"I-" She got right up to his ear, and began to whisper.
"You're afraid that if you kill me, it'd be the biggest regret of your life. I'd haunt you til the end of your days, and based off of what Rika and the elixir are doing to you, that won't be very long." She leaned back away from him, and smiled as she patted him on the shoulder. "Think about it."
She turned and walked back to her chair, and just like she expected, the door quietly clicked shut behind him. He played a big game, but the most he'd caused was a few bruises. She'd had worse.
The camera picked up her voice as she began to sing softly as she searched for her page in her book, satisfied for the moment, but knowing it could only last so long.
I can't decide whether you should live or die~
