Arc 5: Break - 6
Man, this Leng Peng is unbelievably stubborn. Not even the looming threat of permanent death seems to faze him, as he keeps finding ways to bother us—though his focus on pestering Octavia is far more intense than the rest of us.
It feels like five hours have passed, or at least that's my guess, since we returned to the cafeteria for a second lunch. Throughout this time, Leng Peng has shamelessly bombarded Octavia with pick-up lines. Most of them are just recycled versions of what he's already said, slightly rephrased to sound "new."
So yeah, it's been a one-sided spectacle of Leng Peng trying—and failing—to court Octavia, clearly aiming to add her to his collection of lovers.
"No. I've said no many times. Get it through your thick skull—I do not want to be in any kind of relationship with you." Octavia snaps, her voice sharp and icy. Her fingers twitch as glowing demonic runes spiral into existence, wrapping around them ominously. The air around her practically radiant restrained power, a clear warning that her patience was running dangerously thin.
"But my heart yearns for you, wishing only to hold you in my arms so you may feel the rhythm of my heart beating solely for you." Leng Peng declares with dramatic flair, completely oblivious to—or perhaps just outright ignoring—the ominous demonic runes surrounding Octavia's fingers. The heat emanating from her demonic magic is hard not to pay attention to now, creating heat waves in the air around her.
You know, crazy voices. For some reason, Leng Peng's declaration just translates differently for me. It's as if what he really said was: I desire you and want to trap you in a cage forever, where the only thing you can feel is my obsessive desire.
