It's so, so very tempting to break inside there and kill him. Your better judgement prevents you from acting on that urge for now. You grit your teeth to regain some focus before you start asking your questions. First things first...
"What does he mean by that?" Your eyes glance over between Naomi and the Man in Silver. It's getting oddly hard to breath now. The air is thick, almost like a smog at this point, and the cold seeping into your bones isn't helping matters.
"Don't listen to him. He's a coward, no, a fool who managed to get caught. He's simply trying to darken your mind and heart." Naomi spits out with venom. "He has no other way to hurt us."
<span class="mu-s">"You don't think I recognize one of my own, Naomi Wischard?"</span> What-
The Man in Silver cranes his neck to get a better look at Naomi. <span class="mu-s">"We never forgot. You thought we did. But once you join us, we make sure we never forgot. Or should I use your old name, Sage, to jog your memory?"</span>
[PERSON OF INTEREST] Our ranks have been COMPROMISED? New target spotted! Your left hand drifts to the paper dagger on your belt, right hand towards the revolver hidden under your shirt-
You're interrupted by a loud THUD and CRACK echoing through the mostly empty warehouse. Naomi slams her fist against the thick shatterproof glass over and over again in a futile attempt to break through the impervious glass. She's hurting herself more than she's hurting the glass. Even the Man in Silver seems a bit shocked at the attempt.
[SILVER INSTINCTS] "At least I'm not trapped in a cage." She's smiling as she futilely smashes her fist into the wall over and over again. "See? Nobody in. Nobody out." <<span class="mu-b">"...Torn through the pages of my history, that secret is revealed. So be it."</span>>
Alexis and Kiara grab Naomi by the arms and swiftly pull her away from the glass wall separating your group from the Agent. Speckles of blood are the only hint that anyone even tried to break through the wall.
>NAOMI NEUTRAL TRAIT REVEALED!
[SILVER INSTINCTS] Old habits die hard. Naomi delights in the suffering of others, healing RESTRAINT when she sees or causes it, and may know some information and old tricks from her previous life. <span class="mu-r">You're sure the Silver Agents VERY interested in her.</span>
It takes a moment for the Agent to regain his composure. But only a moment. He's back to his calm, collected self in the blink of an eye. <span class="mu-s">"Pathetic."</span>
"W-what?" You're still reeling from what you heard but...no. No. He's trying to get into your head. You'll deal with this when you're off the clock. "You know what. You're just trying to get into my head."
<span class="mu-s">"You think too highly of yourself."</span> The Silver Agent has the gall to smirk despite Naomi's astute observation of him being in a fucking cage. You take a moment to collect yourself. Deep breath in, deep breath out.
"I still don't understand. Why are you targeting me? Why are you targeting anyone who remotely associates with me?" You focus your mind...
