Unlike Sigmus, Jun was able to grab the string. He pulled it towards him and Sigmus was yanked forward as well. He pulled again and Sigmus was dragged right along.

"Huh?" said Sigmus. "Why can't I stop myself from being pulled?"

"Well, the string is attached to your soul, not your body." Jun stated. He pulled once more and Sigmus stumbled forward on both knees with only about 3 feet between him and Jun.

Axel watched on, even more confused since he couldn't see the string. It was like Jun was just pretending to pull a rope and Sigmus was playing along with him.

Jun held most of the string in his free hand as he held it out in front of him. "I found I can only do this once a day. You'll probably understand why in a moment, Sigmus." Jun held his blade a little above his head. "String of fate creates a literal string of fate between two people, in this case you and I. Only the one who wields Verdict is able to touch the string as you can see."
