Chapter 56: Sleep well~ (R-18)[GTG]
As the combat instructor announced the end of class, Ryan found himself being pulled forcefully by Helen out of the room and towards the elevator. She stood in silence, her gaze devoid of emotion as they waited for the elevator to arrive.
He tried to ask her what was wrong, but she remained eerily silent. He attempted to free his wrist from her grip, which was starting to sting, but found it impossible - her grasp was inhumanly strong. With his mana reserves exhausted and stamina spent, any attempt to pry himself free was futile.
Resigning himself with a deep sigh, he let her do as she pleased. After all, he had a feeling she meant him no harm.
The elevator doors slid open with a resounding ’ping’, and they stepped out, heading for the exit. Helen pulled him forward relentlessly, her impatient stride evident.
They arrived at the dormitory, and she dragged him to the discreetly tucked elevator at the end of the hallway. As they boarded and she tapped the button for the fifth floor, Ryan was surprised - that was his floor, while the high rankers stayed on the uppermost levels.
His curiosity piqued, fueling a sense of apprehension. Just what was she planning? Given his currently depleted state, he was defenseless. He could only hope she didn’t intend anything too drastic.
They disembarked on the fifth floor and shuffled towards the door at the far corner. To Ryan’s bewilderment, he found himself placing his thumb on the biometric lock, not of his own volition. Telekinesis - she was controlling him. But why, when a simple request would suffice?
The door clicked open, and Helen pulled him inside, slamming it shut behind them. Before Ryan could react, she spun him around, pinning him roughly against the door.
This awkward, unnerving wall slam stole Ryan’s words as her intense gaze bore into him. "Wh...what...are you...doing?" he stammered incoherently.
"I know you don’t have your memories but.... Did.... Did you ever love me. Do you even feel anything for me," she asked, her fist clenched tightly her voice low.
"What are you-?"
