I couldn't believe what I was seeing with my own eyes. Tanya, who had told me she didn't like me and that she wanted to turn me into her pet, was crying like a crybaby while asking me for forgiveness.
If I already didn't know how to react in a situation where I had to strike up a conversation with her, seeing her cry in such a childish way left me paralyzed. Her crying was more effective than the Puppeteer Eye, without a doubt.
But I don't believe it was a technique or an attempt to manipulate me emotionally. Even without the blindfold, her eyes were closed, and her tears kept falling endlessly.
"P-Please don't cry," I managed to say, even though I was nervous.
After some time, Tanya finally stopped crying. I remembered the time when we were children. When the training was too harsh, she would always cry afterwards, far from our parents.
