[Connor gets back to his feet and looks between the two. Something feels wrong about watching Justine choke Niles. Does she really want to kill him? He struggles briefly against the SQUIP's control, an easier task now that everyone is distracted.]

Justine. Stop.

[It's not that he cares if Niles dies... because quite honestly, he doesn't. What he does care about is the fact that Niles will likely come after Justine if she does. Death isn't permanent here, but Niles could be capable of thinking of something worse. He can't take that chance.]

Please.

[His eyes dart between both of them as he inches closer to her.]
