"So just tell me," Razeal said, his voice calm yet sharp enough to slice through the tension pressing against them. "If we kill every single one of them… will that take us outside this place?"
He looked straight into Neptunia's eyes. His dark bottomless gaze was unwavering, his tone unshaken, his presence solid as the ocean floor beneath them. There wasn't a single flicker of fear in him.. not in his eyes, nor in his stance. Even in this impossible situation, facing what could easily be considered the army of an entire world, he stood there as if the idea of defeat simply didn't exist for him.
Neptunia met his gaze.. and for the first time, words refused to come easily to her.
How is he so calm? she asked herself silently. Her chest tightened a little as she stared back into those steady eyes. How can someone be so fucking idiot.. Or clueless.. Still she was impressed
