Chapter Text
She begs him with her eyes, as every other part of her body is covered in bandages. His fist tightens on his hidden wand. With a nod he whispers: "Legilimence." and he dives softly into her mind.
Horror hits him like a hammer in the chest when he does, but he steels himself through the horrific scenes that rage on the surface of her psyche. He carefully navigates the most burning emotions, looking deeper into the more useful subconscious contents. Patiently, he searches for the one responsible for her pain, gathering clues for his next mission: Vengeance.

"A monster attacked her by surprise. Imagine the monster's surprise when the real Babayaga found him."
