Her nostrils flared, holding her hand to her chest
???: "...If you will not follow orders, then you are useless to me. Prepare yourself-you will be sold off for parts tomorrow. I'd have Cinder take you apart herself-were she not leaving us...."
"W-W-Wait-Adri NO! D-Don't-p-please-s-she'll d-do what you say-g-go Iko-p-please-"
She was shaking, gripping her metal hand to her chest, legs on the verge of giving up-she couldn't lose Iko she COULDN'T-
Adri: "If you care for Peony as you claim, you'll do as I say. If you weren't so selfish, you would've volunteered yourself after leaving the market instead of ruining my family. Again."

"...No...you don't care about Peony-you just want the payout!!"
Adri crossed the room and slapped her. The sound echoed throughout the room
