A clammy, oppressive dampness hangs in the cell's air as Kurozumi slinks nearer, a vile grin twisting his features. He presents a grotesque, unnaturally vibrant fruit in his open hand. 'A simple trade,' he coos, 'your captains walk free if you consume this SMILE.' Killer stands like a statue at your side, the blue and white mask a stoic plate over the tempest raging behind it. He understands the price: to swallow the fruit is to unmask himself completely. The quiet that follows is dense, choked with a shared, terrible understanding.
