Reis gazed at the girl with tired, foggy eyes.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #BF0000">"Take a bite~"</span></span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #BF0000">"You're hungry enough, aren't you?"</span></span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #BF0000">"Just reach out and grab her~"</span></span><br/><br/>"No. Never," he answered.<span style="font-style: italic">She's so close... Didn't they tell her I was dangerous?</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #BF0000">"Take her~"</span></span><br/><br/>Reisen slowly lifted one of his arms. Then, without any change in his expression, suddenly thrust it forward and clasped his hand around Natsuha's neck. The lantern tumbled from her hands, but the flame stayed lit. The gentle stars coating the cellar walls became myriads of rageful flames.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #BF0000">"Yes~ Yes~"</span></span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #BF0000">"More~ Make her suffer~"</span></span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #BF0000">"Why are you hesitating?"</span></span><br/><br/>"You want... to purify me?" It was a strange thing to say with his hand closing ever tighter around her neck. It was unnatural, the strength this starving boy could possess in a single arm. "Can you?"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #BF0000">"Why do you care? You are strong~"</span></span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #BF0000">"Kill her~ Take her flesh~"</span></span>
