The moment Atsushi woke up, he could already sense something wrong. His room was dimly lit, the curtains were drawn and small streams of light shone through the cracks. He surveyed his room while still sitting in bed, his eyes landed on the corner behind his bedroom door. A shadow was standing near it, Atsushi's breath quickened, he reached over to the light switch. Turning the lights on; he braced himself for whatever the shadow might be.

Turns out it was a sweater hanging out of the open closet door. Sighing, he tried to calm his racing heart. It's ok, you're ok, he reassured himself but something still felt off. An uneasy feeling surrounded his every being but he still couldn't pinpoint what it was. Scanning his room once more, he found nothing. He let out a breath before a cloth was slapped onto his mouth, he didn't have time to struggle before he inhaled the poison and was knocked unconscious.

When he came to, Atsushi was tied up to a chair in what looked to be a basement. He had a gag in his mouth and rope tied tightly around his wrists and legs. Frantically looking around, his eyes landed on a man who was sitting on the opposite end of the room. The man seemed to be facing Atsushi.

"So you're finally awake." The mystery man said.

"Who- who are you?" Atsushi's voice wavered.

"None of your concern. The only thing you should know is that I will be killing you after 72 hours." Atsushi flinched, his heart started racing, he couldn't believe this; was this a dream?

"W-what do you mean?"

"I will allow you to fulfill any wishes you want in the next 72 hours, once that time is up, I will kill you." The man said with a monotoned voice. Atsushi was panicking, it took a while to comprehend what his kidnapper had just said.

"Wishes?"

"Yes, for example, if you would like to go on a three day trip before I kill you, I will pay for it. Of course, I would have to go with you to make sure you don't try to escape." That last part was said with a threatening voice that made Atsushi shiver.

"Why me?" Atsushi whispered.

"I can't tell you that."

"Shouldnt I have the right to know? It's my life you're taking." Atsushi didn't mean to sound so aggressive but he wanted to get his point across.

"Even if I wanted to, I don't have that information. My boss does not inform me of those reasons."

"So you just blindly kill people, and never question why? What kind of job is that?"

The mystery man sighs and turns away. "A cruel one...regardless, I can't question or defy my boss' orders."

"I understand...I really don't want to die, but what can I do?" Atsushi's voice lowered to a whisper for that last sentence.

"Your 72 hours start now. What would you like to do?" The man had turned around again and approached Atsushi. "Try anything funny and I'll shoot you right here." A gun was pointed at Atsushi's temple, making him shake with fear.

"I won't. You have my word." Atsushi swallowed. His bounds were untied and he rubbed at his wrists. The man still had his gun pointed at Atsushi but he moved back.

"Can we...go eat Chazuke?" Atsushi faced the other. A couple minutes of silence stretched between them.

"The first thing you wanna do is...eat Chazuke?" The guy had a dumbfounded tone to his voice.
