Lleona: (calling out)
"Javi! I know you’re here."

Javi curses under his breath, knowing he’s been found out. He stands up slowly, motioning for Gelia
and Abigaile to stay hidden.

Javi: (stepping forward)
"Lleona."

Lleona’s eyes narrow as she looks him up and down, her suspicion now confirmed.

Lleona: (sternly)
"You’re hiding something. I knew it. You’ve been acting strange ever since you patrolled Sector 9.
You’ve crossed a line, Javi."

Javi remains silent for a moment, weighing his words carefully. He knows there’s no going back from
this.

Javi: (quietly)
"I can’t do this anymore, Lleona. I can’t keep killing people who don’t deserve it. The government… it’s
not what we thought. It’s all a lie."

As Lleona’s eyes narrowed in anger, Javi felt the cold gaze of a wolf —ready to strike, loyal only to the
pack that had raised her.

Lleona: (furiously)
"A lie? You’re betraying everything we stand for! You’re betraying me! We’ve been partners for years,
Javi. How could you do this?"

5 Animal metaphors are often used to depict a character's personality traits or instinctive behavior by
comparing them to specific animals. Lleona is compared to a "wolf," representing loyalty to the group and a
predatory instinct to protect it.
