Summary: Ifrit wants to be free, and take Shiva with him.
He hangs suspended, watching the little man in the yellow lab coat make copious notes on a clipboard. He longs to melt the glass to unrecognizable slag with his flames, break free and begone from this place where the machines rip out his essence bit by bit by bit and leave him a drained and empty husk.
If he did, he would take her with him, but she is too weak to help him and he cannot escape by himself. So he watches her, and yearns for her, drawn like a moth to a candle flame, fire to her ice.
