Chris could now see Eira's condition. If this wasn't definitive proof, at least he felt that Eira wasn't entirely lying.
Chris couldn't believe that what Leyla had told him would happen had actually happened. He thought about the possibility of things like Stockholm syndrome, but he knew that Eira didn't have a mindset that would make her susceptible to something like that.
Eira would not create positive feelings from a negative event. She was so tenacious that he was sure that, if it had not happened as Leyla said, she would still try to resist or look for a way to escape, even at this point she would try somehow to kill him, not for nothing that finguishing his death was the only viable option if she failed.
This led him to a curious conclusion. Leyla, though she had no logical basis to support her prediction, had been right.
