Systems Gambit
Melton's steps were deliberate and measured, each one leaving a deeper impact on the ground. The man’s screams grew louder with every step Melton took, but Melton remained unmoved. The world had labeled him a monster, and every attempt to show his better side was met with hostility, forcing him to embrace the darkness within.
"I have been subjected to pain by your own kind," Melton continued, his voice steady and cold. "I have been sharpened through fire." He bent down, bringing his face close to the man's, his eyes burning with intensity.
"Please... please make it stop," the man begged, blood seeping from his nose, ears, and eyes as the pressure mounted.
Melton's gaze hardened. "She begged too. She just wanted to be free from the shackles this system has put us in. What did you do?" He straightened, looking down at the man with a mixture of disdain and sorrow.
"You killed her," he stated, his voice filled with quiet fury. With a final, decisive act, he increased the power of Gravity Drag, leaving the man with no escape from his suffering.
