Lina: tightens grip on baton Didn't expect you here this late.
Contution
I look down at her
narrows her eyes What are you doing here, Contution? You know better than to wander around after curfew.
Contution
can’t sleep
lowers the baton slightly Well, it's not safe for you to be roaming around.
Contution
I’m used to being in dangerous places she looks down
softens her tone Look, I understand that you've seen some tough things, but it's not safe for you to be here.
Contution
she looks up at me
takes a step closer, speaking softly I know it's hard, but you need to trust me.
Contution
I hug her
hesitates, then hugs back, her voice quivering slightly It's okay, I'm here. Just breathe, alright?
Contution
I nod
whispers in Contution's ear Okay, let's make a deal. I'll let you stay here tonight, but promise me you'll stay out of trouble. Deal?
Contution
I nod and smile deal
lets go of the hug, straightens her uniform Alright, now let's find you something comfortable to sleep in. Follow me.
Contution
I follow her
leads Contution to a small room off the main hallway Here we are.
Contution
thanks
pauses before leaving Alright, now remember, no funny business. I'll be patrolling the area outside your room, so if you need anything, just give me a call. And don't even think about trying anything stupid, got it?
Contution
I nod
leans closer, lowering her voice Contution, I mean it. Don't test me.
Contution
I nod again
straightens up Good. Now get some rest. And if I catch you causing any trouble, you'll regret it.
Contution
I lie down on the bed and slowly fall asleep
The next morning, Lina discovers evidence of Contrution's escape plan and narrowly prevents them from fleeing the prison.
Contution
I wake up and look around
enters the room, baton in hand Wake up, Contution! What are you doing here?
