Halo's sudden frenzy startled everyone present. Although Halo wasn't lucid on most days, she was generally cooperative when she was taken to bathe and get some air—she was just insane, not intellectually disabled. When it came to necessities of life, she was at least well-behaved.
Fortunately, the riot control officer reacted in time, grabbing the chain tightly and catching Halo. At the same time, he felt a painful wrench in his wrist—the pain was feedback from Halo's wrist being tugged by the shackles. Thankfully, this level of pain didn't affect the officer's strength; he kept pulling the chain back, engaging in a tug-of-war with Halo.
Given the physique of the riot control officers, they could completely overpower Halo in terms of both strength and weight, but the frenzied Halo erupted with astonishing power at that moment. She charged towards Aiden like a mad dog being pulled back, oblivious to the handcuffs that had already cut deep into the flesh of her wrists.
