Daniel froze, his eyes locked onto Frudi's. He knew that she was a person of her word, and if she said she would jump, she would.
This must be why she's called a Lunatic.
"Okay, I'm standing still," Daniel said, his voice calm and gentle. "I want to hear the secret. Please, don't jump. I'm going to listen to you. Tell me everything you want to say."
Frudi's eyes seemed to bore into Daniel's soul. "Do you know what I planned to do?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "Or rather, Do you know what I did?"
Daniel shook his head. "No, tell me. I said I'll listen, remember?"
Frudi's voice was laced with bitterness. "My uncle is in danger. I am in danger. I'm literally set to die soon. I'm literally a target for a lot of people who want to kill me. But then I snuck out of the house while we were in Italy and came down here on a 17-hour flight, just to get to see the person whom I actually did this for... erase me from his memory."
