"You don't need to know," he wheezes.
"You do know I can kill you if you don't tell me, right?" she mutters, hoping her voice is menacing enough to get through to the boy's head. It turns out to be, when the boy stops struggling and whispers, 'Natsume Hyuuga.'
"Alright, Hyuuga, what made you run?" she asks.
