His senses kick in when Kaisa grabs his arm so tightly without warning, but he's got more than enough control to not do anything stupid. Instead all he does is to turn back to look at her without even batting an eyelash at the increased intensity of her gaze and her words.

In another time, maybe, he would have taken her words to heart, would actually understand the warning for what it is. It's not like he doesn't know the consequences; on the contrary he understands it all too well. He knows what he's going towards, where he's heading for after all he's said and done in these last few years. But it doesn't matter. It never mattered. These was only ever one place for a monster like him.

"I'm not going to argue schematics with you, Daesun," he replies, his tone entirely devoid of emotion even as he stares right at her face. "You can choose to 'live' however you want. I have my own path to follow."

He pulls his arm away from her grip after saying that, giving it a cursory look for injuries before glancing at her one more time. "If you're done lecturing me, you're free to go. I'll be handling the reports."
