Luis knew that there was a chance that the machine could work on him but he wasn't just going to give himself in because of that as he already knew everything general Freelyn had in mind, whether he gave in or not he was still going to receive the same punishment.

The boy stretched his hands to put it there but before he could do that a voice could be heard coming from the entrance.
