"What exactly are you trying to do?"

Staring at the key in her hand, Media once again asked the question that haunted her soul.

The person in front of her seemed increasingly cold and deranged to her, and fear seeped uncontrollably from the depths of her heart.

Media had a vague feeling that he had no interest in her body or her life.
