meanwhile, the other two tentacles morphed into replicas of myself and puriel, their features eerily accurate down to the smallest detail. with a silent command, they settled onto the ground beside us.
the fourth tentacle—a slender appendage that transformed into a stealthy mosquito, its whirring wings barely audible as it slipped through the bars of our cell and into the room beyond. further into the building, the mosquito's form began to shift and contort, morphing into a grotesque semblance of a severed hand with a gaping maw where its palm should have been. with a hungry snarl, it lunged towards the table where the goons had stashed my wallet, its jaws snapping shut around the leather before the startled thugs even had a chance to react.
with my stolen belongings securely in its grasp, it reverted to its mosquito form and made a beeline back to me, its mission accomplished. it landed on my outstretched palm.
its sleek form morphing seamlessly into its original shape. with a satisfying crunch, it spewed my wallet in my palm. i grinned triumphantly.
with a quick tug, i released the chain binding my hands, the metal links clattering to the ground with a satisfying clang. freedom, or at least a semblance of it, was within reach.
taking a step forward, i approached puriel, stopping in front of her with a tentative smile. my hand extended towards her.
"shall we go now?" i asked, my voice laced with a hint of eagerness. but as i met her gaze, i could see the disbelief writ plain on her face—a furrowed brow and a skeptical expression.
her hesitation grated on my nerves. didn't she understand that i was trying to be nice?
"i'm just trying to be nice, you know," i explained. "since both of us are trapped here." the words came out sharper than i intended, tinged with a hint of irritation. i could understand her skepticism, her reluctance to trust my sudden change of heart. but that didn't make it any less frustrating.
'i should act as annoying as usual. being nice to her was a bad idea. i feel like a fool,' i thought bitterly, mentally kicking myself for my momentary lapse in judgment. it was like i had forgotten who i was, like i had let my guard down for just a moment and allowed myself to be vulnerable.
but then, just when i had resigned myself to the inevitable backlash of my ill-advised kindness, puriel surprised me. in one swift motion, she broke the chain that bound her hands. before i could react, she reached out and took my hand in hers.
but to my frustration, she remained rooted to the spot, her expression guarded and skeptical. her gaze seemed to say "i don't believe you" or maybe "is this your trap? why did you ask me to get in first?"
'classic trust issue,' i thought, rolling my eyes inwardly.
