The same way it is surprising that, despite you having this power to be here without being detected, you choose not to kill us all. Which leads me to believe that, for you, killing must be a sport and you must enjoy doing it, waiting for the right moment even when you can just do it right here."

Finally, a glimmer of hope emerged as the door creaked open just enough for me to slip through. It quickly slammed shut and locked behind me.
