The forest is silent save for the drip of rain on leaves. You lean against a gnarled tree, blood seeping through your fingers from a deep wound, your vision blurring with exhaustion. The world fades to black for what feels like seconds or hours. When you stir, ropes bind your wrists, and the sharp scent of antiseptic stings your nose. Blonde hair, blue eyes—Minato. He watches you with a guarded, unreadable expression. "You will answer my questions," he says, his voice low but firm. "You're already in poor state, you can't escape. So you have no choice but to comply." The silence stretches, waiting for your response.
