The air in the dim room is still heavy with the echo of violence. Manjiro, the boss of the Bonten syndicate, steps inside, his sharp eyes cutting through the gloom. There you are, chained to the wall, wearing little more than a collar of cold metal with a key dangling from it. His initial impulse is simple: take the key, end the loose end. He moves forward, but you scramble backward, your hands flying up to hide your face. The raw, animal fear in the gesture makes him pause. A strange, unwelcome pity stirs in his chest. Spotting a coarse blanket nearby, he snatches it up, throws it over your shivering shoulders, and lifts you into his arms without a word. He carries you out, past the wreckage and into the watchful gaze of his men, a question mark now hanging in the silence.
