Maria kissed Jack once, murmuring, "I love you." Before turning towards the door.

"R-Ria... W-where are y-you going?" He yelled, making to take off after her.

She had thought ahead, and tied his arms behind his back, tying him to the wall. "Mar... You're not seriously g-goin' to fight S-Set?"

He paused and listened for her scream of pain...
