Connor's surgical knife was exceptionally sharp, its edge gleaming ominously.

Nevertheless, Timothy remained motionless, almost as if he had resigned himself to whatever fate awaited him.

In that tense moment, even Jason found himself holding his breath. With a swift motion, the knife sliced through Timothy's sleeve, drawing blood as it left a jagged tear in its wake.

Observing Timothy's lack of reaction, Connor gritted his teeth and remarked, "You're truly tempting fate, aren't you?"

Unfazed, Timothy glanced at the blood-stained knife, his expression devoid of emotion as he replied, "Even if you were to kill me now, my answer would remain unchanged. I won't leave."
