Once she finished typing, she offered him another small smile.
Garen blinked, momentarily distracted.
Marcel graciously got to his feet, and everyone ate in silence.
When they finished eating, Lyra headed toward Rook’s cell.
Felix was also in that section.

Spotting her walking over, Felix assumed she was coming for him. He stretched out his hand eagerly.
“Lyra p>
Lyra glanced at him, brushed her fingertips lightly against his, and kept walking past.
Felix’s shoulders slumped a little at that fleeting touch, yet he still smiled, eyes crinkling with delight.
Nael watched the whole scene without a sound.
A dog looks exactly like that after getting petted.
Lyra stopped outside Rook’s cell window and stared at him with a calm expression.
Rook leaned out, one arm propped lazily against the frame. His features held that familiar, insolent edge.
He said nothing. His usual ferocious eyes glinted with arrogance and provocation, much like a cat that knew it was in the wrong but still dared to defy its owner.
Lyra lifted her hand out of nowhere and rapped her knuckles hard against his forehead.
Rook froze.
Caught completely off guard, his pupils blew wide. Stunned disbelief spread across his face.
Lyra raised her hand a second time.
The first blow had caught him by surprise. Getting hit a second time would’ve made him an idiot.
“Fuck! What the hell are you doing! ” Rook dodged out of range and glared at her, furious.

Lyra’s face stayed neutral.
She held his gaze for several seconds before typing her message. “You gonna keep picking fights or not p>
That question stoked Rook’s temper instantly.
“You’re so ungrateful! I was trying to look out for you, do you get that p>
Hearing that, Lyra lifted her hand again to strike him.
Rook scrambled backward deeper into his cell, shouting curses through the steel door about how heartless she was.
Lyra turned her head. “Give me the key p>
She intended to give him a proper talking–to today.
Not just for what had happened earlier, but also for all the times he’d lashed out at others for no good reason.
Behind the barrier, Rook roared with rage. “Don’t you dare!
“Come on in right now! I’ll tear you to shreds p>
Nael frowned. “Lyra p>
Lyra repeated firmly, “Get the key p>
Normally, the guards were forbidden to hand over access keys.
Rules stated Guides ought not get too close to heavily contaminated Sentinels.
But Nael went to retrieve it. He spun a quick lie, paired with quiet, veiled threats. The guards assumed Lyra wouldn’t go inside herself, and hesitantly handed over the key.
Click.
The door swung open. Rook stood inside, every line of his body radiating hostility.
“Try it. Come one step closer p>
Lyra typed calmly, “ Nobody else interferes. ”
Without hesitation, she stepped across the threshold.

Nael, Garen, and the rest hovered anxiously in the doorway, ready to jump in the second Rool posed any real danger to Lyra.
Rook tilted his chin upward. His sharp, slanted brows spelled trouble.
“I’ll cut you a deal. Apologize to me, and I won’t lay a finger on you p>
Lyra wasted no time and swung at him.
Shock flashed across Rook’s face.
He jumped backward. “Do you have a death wish p>
Lyra chased him across the small room.
Rook dodged while yelling non–stop.
“Hey–don’t push your luck!
“Lyra!
“My patience only stretches so far!
“This is your last chance. Back off now and I might let

off easy p>
Nael watched Rook get cornered and pummeled. It seemed the danger they’d feared wasn’t going to materialize.
For all his menacing bluster, this Sentinel was holding back around a Guide.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when everything shifted.
“Tch! You mute little brat, are you asking for a beating? ”
Rook grabbed Lyra. The world spun wildly as he hoisted her upside down off the ground.
He held her by the legs, swinging her dangling form with obvious satisfaction.
“You gonna behave now? ”
Lyra struck at him with her hands.
Rook started spinning in circles while holding her.
Terrified of slipping and falling, Lyra clamped tight onto the fabric of his trousers.
Seeing the Guide swung around like some toy, Nael and Garen rushed forward.

Rook noticed them and halted.
With one sharp heave, he flipped Lyra easily onto his back.
He snarled toward the two men. “Back off, stay out of–ugh!
“Damn it p>
Mid–snarl, Lyra twisted on his back and dug her fingers into his ear.
Rook’s expression turned stormy. He spun around and slammed her hard against the wall, trapping her there.
“You really are pushing your luck p>
Lyra gasped for breath, shaking her head toward Nael and the others to signal them to stand down.
She stared right back at Rook, jaw set and unyielding.
Rook returned her gaze, his eyes locking onto her bright, clear irises.
Nael and Garen reluctantly stepped back from the doorway.
Then-
Smack!
The sharp sound of a slap echoed through the room. Everyone outside froze.
Lyra stared down at her own palm, then toward Rook, whose head had been snapped sideways by the blow.
But … couldn’t he have dodged that?
Rook’s cheek burned hot. Rage surged all the way to the top of his skull.
He ran his tongue along the inside of his stinging jaw and slowly turned his head back toward
her.
The look in his eyes was terrifying.
Dread stirred in Lyra’s chest.
She’d gone into this intending to discipline him, confident he wouldn’t truly hurt her.
