"It's a bit cold down here, but I've provided you with a blanket," Jimin explains as he leads her into the basement. "It's a bit dusty; I haven't needed to use this space in a while."
As soon as the chains are secure around Mari's wrists and ankles, Jimin lets Mari have control of herself again and she immediately begins to scream for help.
Jimin winces. "You're giving me a headache. Please don't do that."
She doesn't relent as she continues to scream out endless pleas and incoherent words as she struggles against the chains.
Jimin sighs in annoyance. "I said... stop."
His hand goes up, and her voice goes silent as her mouth clamps shut.
"You're much more beautiful when you aren't shrieking," he says, smiling. "You are here to dance. Not to scream. Are we clear?"
He watches her with his eyebrows raised, and she slowly nods her head before he lets her go again. She slumps into the corner of the room as tears slide down her cheeks.
"I can very easily get you booked for performances, you know," he says as he wheels himself closer to her. "I have plenty of connections from my dancing past. You'll make a name for yourself in no time with my help."
"Please just let me go home," she pleads in a whisper, her voice hoarse from the previous screaming.
"This is your home now," Jimin snaps before he runs his fingers through his hair. "Can't you see that I'm helping you?"
"Let me go," she begs, sobs wracking her body as she hangs her head in defeat.
"I know what will cheer us both up," Jimin says, clapping his hands together as he wheels himself backwards. "Dance for me."
"No," she says, refusing to look at him.
"You have no choice, puppet," he says, holding his hand up.
As if she is on strings, Mari's body is pulled upright.
"Now, I can't make you do any kind of spectacular dance while you're chained. I need to learn more about your body so I can have stronger control. Until then, let's just do some simple moves," Jimin explains as his fingers begin to move in a fluid motion, sending Mari's body into action.
The dance is forced and awkward as Mari's body jerks around uncontrollably.
Jimin nearly growls in anger. "Stop fighting against me, Mari. It's useless. You're my puppet now and forever."
