The Other Mutants
I was struggling to make sense of the absurdity of the situation when Sensei spoke.
«Just…Do what he says.»
"Are you serious?" I asked in disbelief. "Why should I kill him when he can just escape and live?"
«Unless you want him to spend decades of his life wandering around as a bloodthirsty monster, you should kill him while he still has the dignity of a mortal.» Sensei insisted.
What was he talking about! What monster?!
His words were like an impartial judge, dispassionate and solemn, leaving me no room to retreat.
But as the seconds ticked by without me doing anything, the man's body began to tremble as if wracked by a terrible cold. His cries became even more incessant.
|[K-Kill...me]| |[P-Please k-kill...me]| |[I beg you]|
The fearful look in his eyes was so intense that even I began to feel scared. Without realising it, I slowly began to back away from him.
