After having witnessed one of her bosses being beaten for something she was unaware of and being dragged out of her place of employment by the aggressor, Mina was practically falling apart. She had heard Olivia's question regarding Peter, but she still did not know what had occurred.
"Please Cylus," Mina begged. "Just let her come with me. If you do not, how are you any better than him?" Mina asked. She knew Cylus would catch her meaning.
"The difference is that I am protecting her," Cylus said angrily.
"That is what he says too, but I only feel trapped. Like I cannot breathe, no matter how much air I take in." Hearing Mina's words, Olivia stopped crying. She had never met a person who could so accurately describe how she felt.
"Mina it's okay, I'm just a little angry," Olivia said. She had often thrown tantrums and Cylus had grown immune to them, but Mina seemed greatly affected.
