The warden felt it clearly.
Even though he was a demon, the first thought that entered his mind when Yuuta's crimson eyes met his was something he wasn't accustomed to feeling toward a chained human.
Fear.
It came suddenly, freezing his body before he could understand why. There was no overwhelming aura coming from Yuuta, no magic filling the cell, and the human could barely even hold his head upright. Yet for those few seconds, the warden's instincts reacted before his mind could.
Then the feeling disappeared.
The strange intensity within Yuuta's crimson eyes faded almost as quickly as it had appeared. His eyelids weakened, his head dropped forward again, and whatever small amount of strength had allowed him to look at the warden seemed to leave his body.
The warden finally breathed again.
"What the fuck was that...?"
