It was funny how Zoren was getting a lot of answers while investigating Penny's case. Answers not just about her or the case, but also answers he didn't know he needed.
Because aside from getting a clearer picture of Penny's ongoing trial, Zoren finally understood why his mother had treated him like dirt. It was finally clear to him why Naylani would wish for him to die.
"Why did you turn quiet? Are you scared that I'd do the same thing you asked me to do to others… to your son?"
He watched Naylani's burning expression pale as her eyes dilated even more.
Finally, Zoren squatted down in front of her. He rested his arms on his legs, staring her dead in the eye.
"What?" he asked under his breath, his eyes studying her without even blinking. "You look scared when you were so energetic in landing a hit on me."
He cocked his head lazily to the side. "You don't want to see it? I've slit someone's throat because of you. Have you forgotten? Do you think I won't do it?"
