The knife comes at her so unexpectedly that she can’t even prepare for it.
There’s a flash of something that might be hate on his face. She gets just a glimpse of those near-crazed eyes, the gleam of the blade, before there’s an intense line of fire down her upper arm. Sajia is not even sure if she cries out as she’s wrestled to the ground by the very person she was trying to help, a hand grabbing her shoulder and trying to pin her down. Another glance at those eyes- they’re not crazed like she initially believed, but she knows exactly what that look is- and the panic starts to settle in.
