The squirrel faunus screamed and pulled at his chains, clearly upset by Nigrum's threat. "D-don't you dare! I'll kill you! I'll fuckin' kill you if you touch her!" Then a strange expression crept onto the boy's face, and his lips pulled taut with horror as Shinji realized he had just given himself away.

Leaning beside Nigrum on the wall, Lyko let out a small "Hmph", disapproving, but knowing firsthand how effective the threat was. It had barely been a week since that nutcase used the same tactic against him and Estelle, turning their love into a weapon, aiming to hurt them where it mattered most. To Lyko, the threat struck a little too close to home.

On the couch, Shinji's tough facade had cracked, replaced instead by concern and tears. "Please don't hurt Claire... She don't know nothin'! She's innocent! I-i dunno what i'd ...d-do..."

Jumping at the chance, Lyko swooped in with a comforting pat on Shinji's shoulder, displaying a moment of compassion, as the Good Cop opposed to Nigrum's Bad Cop role. "It's okay kid. Nobody's gonna hurt Claire... she's your girl huh? Well, i know what it's like, the thought of never seeing her again, or worse, letting her get hurt because of you. I can relate "

"That's why i'm asking you to think of her now. Play nice, cooperate, and don't give my buddy there a reason to go looking for her." Having said his peice, Lyko nodded to Nigrum and stepped back, letting him ask the questions first.
