Faint metallic footsteps bounce off the walls of a spiraling stone staircase.

"P-Please… What do you want…." Calina's hostage situated on her shoulder eyes start to falter.

"Gaah…" He gives a relieved tone as the skin's blood starts to ice. The man looks toward Iyuna, who gives him a faint smile.

"We don't want you dying on us before you give us our answers."
