Evangeline unconsciously clenched her teeth.
'What should I do? How should I convince her?'
If she was reading Lilias right, the girl intended to lock her up in this room at the start of every loop to ensure that Evangeline couldn't interfere.
Evangeline had to somehow convince the girl that she was not a threat but an ally. But the problem was that Lilias's reasoning for locking her up was not suspicion. It was simply a calculation.
She didn't think that Evangeline had any bad intentions, but she wasn't willing to take any chances. It felt like a mindset similar to Adrian's.
'Convincing her emotionally won't work.'
Having dealt with Adrian for so long, Evangeline had come to understand that he valued reasoning above feelings. At the same time, if one presented sound reasoning, then he would be convinced quite easily.
'Think, think, think.'
Evangeline was no negotiator and didn't know how to win an argument. So she needed a different approach.
