She starts to struggle, weakly at first but it's only a matter of time before she, no, the thing controlling her, breaks away from me, turns on me, attacks me with the face of a friend.
This has to stop.
Her head twitches at the brushing of my fingers against her neck and it comes to me in a flash, Tono trying not to let on that he was favoring an apparent wound there. I'd dismissed it at the time, but now...
My fingers glide across the back of her neck more intently this time, and I find... something. Something wrong, most definitely, something decidedly inhuman, feeling of metal with a vicious pulse.
It's a chance, a terrible one, but it's a chance I'm willing to take. I seize the offending bit of metal between my fingers and thumb, let the arm holding her drop down to clutch her around the waist just in case, and pull.
