Somewhat Tortured Souls

"If you kill Angelo, I will kill you and then kill myself."

Out of nowhere, Anna said something that was quite shocking. What made it more startling was she said it with the awareness that she could never do that.

At this point, I could tell Altin had become more enraged. Anna, on the other hand, neglecting the risk, grimaced bitterly at him.

"That's right. I won't be able to kill you, right?" She finally came to her senses. "Then, how about this? If Angelo dies, I'll also die with him, and not even you can stop me."

"Anna! Do you understand what you were talking about?!" I grabbed her shoulder, trying to stop her from blurting out nonsense.

"Did you not hear him? He is going to kill you!"

She lashed out to empower my voice while turning around at me. She removed my hand from her shoulder and yanked my shirt, pulling me to her face and already she had locked my eyes.
