   "I swear, I don't know anything!" A woman yelled at the young girl standing in front of her.

   Her boss placed a hand on her shoulder, leaning in to quietly give her orders. "This time, do whatever it takes to get information. The more pain you inflict, the more likely they are to talk."

   "I-I don't know if I can do this..."

   "Don't disappoint." He guided her forward, placing a knife in her hand. 

   The woman looked at her, tears in her eyes. "Please just kill me, I can't take this. I really don't know anything." She smiled as the girl lifted the blade to her throat. "Thank you."

   "What are you doing?!" The boss grabbed the knife away from her, failing to stop her from slitting the woman's throat in the process. "You damn idiot." He took her by the hair, ignoring her cries.

   "I'm sorry, please! I made a mistake and it won't happen again, I promise!" The girl was dragged into a dark room, being thrown into the middle. "I'll finish my missions, I'll do anything you want, please!"

   She was slapped. "That wasn't a mistake. You can't even follow the simplest of orders." The tall man loomed over her, waving a hand to summon someone. "Make sure she understands her place. Do whatever you want, as long as she can do her training tomorrow." 

   "Of course, Sir." The other man bowed, watching the boss exit the room and smugly grinning at the small girl. "You heard the man." He walked up to the table next to them, picking up a syringe from the many tools and weapons laid out.

   "No... No, no... Don't come near me!" She stood up, backing away until she hit a wall. 

   "You'll get used to it eventually. It won't hurt too much."

   "No!"


   Y/n's eyes opened, taking in her somewhat familiar surroundings. "Just a dream, Y/n. Just a dream." She carefully sat up, feeling strangely calm. No, maybe calm wasn't the right word.

   Whatever the feeling was, she pushed it aside. The clock in her room showed that it was only five in the morning, too early for her to go out. Not that she wanted to go out anyway. After the previous day's events, all she wanted to do was stay huddled up inside where no one could find her.

   Surprisingly, she heard a light knock on her door. "I'm coming in." The voice on the other side spoke. "You were talking in your sleep, you know. You alright?" Opening the door, Sakusa stepped in.

   "I'm fine. Just tired right now." Y/n stretched with a yawn. "Why are you up so early?"

   "Couldn't sleep."

    "Ah." They sat in an awkward silence for a minute.

   He promptly changed the subject. "Terushima told me to bring you to the meeting room as soon as you woke up. Get changed, I'll be outside."

   "Alright." She groggily got up and dressed herself in a comfortable outfit, finding Sakusa standing across the hall from her doorframe. "Did he say why he wanted me exactly? It's too early for me to think straight."

   "He didn't say anything else." Another moment of silence passed. "Y/n. I don't know what's going on right now, but promise me you'll be careful. And if anything ever happens, make sure you get out alive."

   She looked at him in confusion, rolling her eyes. "Again with the stupid promises? I'll be careful, Kiyoomi. You don't have to worry about me that much."

   "Just don't get yourself in any more trouble, please. You're like a magnet." They walked up to a door, Sakusa waiting for her to open it.

   "Whatever you say, Kiyoomi." She twisted the knob, slowly entering the huge, empty room. "Terushima isn't here yet, what do we do?"

   The man next to her looked just as puzzled. "He should be here soon-"

   "Hey, sorry to keep you waiting!" The piercing covered blonde burst into the room. "I had to greet a guest."

   "A guest? It's five in the morning, Yuuji." Y/n deadpanned, wondering how he had so much energy. "Too early."

   "I think you might know this particular guest. Very well, actually." Terushima's smile and tone dropped as he approached her. "How are you feeling today, Y/n-chan? You look tired."

   "I am tired. I feel strangely numb..." 

   "..."

   "...I'm really sorry. It's nothing personal, you know." He walked back to the door, facing away from Y/n and Sakusa. "I had to use a different kind of drug, one that you weren't used to. It took quite a while to kick in."

   "What the hell did you do?" Sakusa angrily snapped.

   "It won't kill her, but she won't have much strength for a few hours." Another face stepped into the meeting room, halting everyone with his presence. "Don't act so surprised to see me. It was simply a matter of time before I caught up to you." More men entered the space and surrounded them.

   Y/n's eyes fell to the ground, wide in disbelief. "How did you... Terushima?" He still faced away from them, not wanting to see her expression. Sakusa glared at the man before them and stood in front of Y/n, blocking his immediate path.

   "I only want my daughter back. If you know what's best for you, stay out of this." With a flick of his wrist, the men around them quickly grabbed her by the arms. "Bunny was a cute nickname, but I'm afraid your little game of house is over. You abandoned the role you were given and now you'll pay for it."

   "I can't go back there... You can't make me go back there..." She tried her best to struggle while being pulled through the building. "No! I can't do this again, please!" Her desperate cries were ignored, though not unheard. 

   They just couldn't do anything.

   "What the fuck happened?" Sakusa whipped around to Terushima, yelling at him as more people gathered near the entrance after hearing the commotion. "Why would you do that to her?"

   "I didn't have a choice! She's safer there than she is with us."

   "Bullshit!"
