You circled around the screens, watching the man who just yesterday was smiling and holding your hand, perfectly normal, so gentle and so dear. But after the explosion, all that was left of him was a shell, underneath which was a beast waiting to come out. Every visit to Zayne was like an exorcist visiting his ward, but instead of a demon, it was a virus.

You lost track of time from the moment you started studying him not as a partner in a loving way, but as a caged test subject...like an animal. But there was a problem, Zayne kept fighting his beast, and that way you'd never know the location of the activator.

It was a crazy thought, and even though you'd feel guilty about it for a long time afterwards, there was no escape.

The serum you'd injected into him had taken effect instantly, and the calm and poised Zayne had lost his temper. Frantically you searched for the activator, time running out and his anger growing by the moment. There it is, on his chest!

The moment the right spot was found, Zayne threw you to the floor and clamped his legs around you. He put his hands on either side of your head as if on purpose, giving you a chance to restrain yourself, because deep down, the fire of his old soul still burned.

"Now...you have one last move to make."
