"Can you see how dangerous this situation is? This…thing…. we need to kill it, and the only ones who can do that are us scientists. Stop touching that thing. Do you want that case to break free or something?"
The scientist quickly snatched Lea's hand away from the creature. He looked panicked, and the lack of fear on Lea's face shocked him.
Humans were a species that were instinctively afraid of what they could not figure out. They were also curious and afraid of things that were stronger than them.
Naturally, all humans should feel a little fear when they venture too close to this creature, but Lea is different.
And the scientist looked uncomfortable with Lea now. He could not figure out if he wanted to fear Lea or bully her more.
"Oh! So, you will punish me if I do not stop touching this creature? How are you going to do that?"
