“Alter her energy linkage now.” Sylus orders. “Make it as strong as possible.”

This wasn’t what you agreed to, and Sylus paid no mind to your pleading. He wasn’t giving you a choice. “Relax,” his hand slithers its way into your own, trapping you in place. “You can handle it.” His crimson eyes, bore into you as if giving you a warning. Until the shopkeeper speaks up.

“Ahem… Mr. Sylus. I think there is another reason why she can’t resonate with you.” Suddenly, Sylus is all ears. “Get to the point.”

“On a subconscious level she’s either rejecting you, scared of you or… disgusted by you.” The shopkeeper informs, and Sylus goes quiet. He almost looks offended. Hurt.
