But I'll be addicted for the rest of my life. That's how addiction works. Neurochemically I'll never truly be free. Look at me." He held up his hand, which was trembling. "I'm shaking just thinking about it."<br/><br/>"What do you intend to do with me, Mashi Hibiki," Taiga asked, voice hard. That was all-encompassing. He couldn't keep Taiga here indefinitely. Taiga now knew the Captain was a magic-user. That was extremely dangerous for the Captain.<br/><br/>Taiga sat up uneasily, watching Mashi clear the plates.
