Marguerite locks eyes with Demian. What gift can she give now? What does she even have left?
Marguerite is out of ideas. She didn't bring more blueprints and even if she did, she is unwilling to give him that. Even worse is she doesn't think he wants anything from her, it seems he just wants her to surprise him.
But Marguerite does not want to play in his mind games at the moment, she has a mission here to do and sheet akes it seriously. Seriously enough that she is willing to become as crazy as Raskolnikov in crime and punishment.
Yes, she is Raskolnikov, except she will not end up like him. Because she is extraordinary.
"What would you like, Demian."
Calling him by name, she peeks at his reaction. All he shows is a bright smile; as if he saw or heard something pleasant. But inside his heart is beating faster than he wants it to.
