"Miss Sofia, this is all a misunderstanding; you can't really believe that I would be stupid enough to make a move like that."
Rundert's face had an expression worse than tears, but Sofia didn't care. After the day of awakening and those dark times that followed, Sofia was left alone with her two daughters, without family to turn to. If Sofía were to die, her daughters' lives would be exceedingly miserable, and that thought kept coming back to feed the rage within Sofia.
Like an enraged lioness, ready to tear the meat off the animal in front of her, Sofia was giving Rundert a death glare. "No matter what I believe, this is official business Commander Rundert, the orders come from central, and there is nothing either of us can do to change it."
Helplessness was an emotion Rundert was unfamiliar with; a man like him, who had enjoyed the privileges and pleasures of power, was not the kind of person who could take his current situation in stride.
