“I am only going to ask this once.” Eli says firmly, grabbing his jaw so that he was forced to face her. Nagisa stares back as determinedly, his brows furrowed in frustration. “Tell me where the Alliance’s base is.”
Nagisa remains tight-lipped, and infuriated, she gestures to Karla to hand her a blade. Karla does so readily, and Nagisa’s eyes widen when Eli holds the knife threateningly over his hand.
“I won’t ask twice.”
She lowers the knife slowly, till its tip touched the nerve in Nagisa’s trembling, pale, hand. Nagisa squeezes his eyes shut in fear, and Eli, for a split second, feels sorry for him.
“Hitoshi asked me to kill you,” Eli says quietly, and Nagisa’s eyes snap to attention. “So you have absolutely no reason to not tell me where the base is.”
