Lindsey nearly fell off her chair when she heard what Nidia said. The color drained from her face. She knelt in front of Nidia, grabbed her knees, and pleaded, "Please don't do that to me! I don't want to die at such a young age! I don't want to spend the rest of my life in prison either! It's inhumane there! I-I never intended to kill him. I went over that night to ask him politely if he could turn down the volume. Unexpectedly, he lost his temper. Not only did he start an argument with me, but he tried to hit me as well. I-I had no choice but to defend myself..."
Lindsey was crying her eyes out in an attempt to get Nidia to sympathize with her and think of a solution. However, Nidia remained silent. Luna did not say a word on behalf of Lindsey as well.
Nidia finally said something when Lindsey's pleas and cries weakened. "You have to bear the consequences of your actions no matter what. I can't help you as it will be against the law. Please leave now."
