Puppet State

TW For Sexual Assault, Implied Sexual Assault, and just the Japanese Empire being shitty.

Also, the dialogue in this is in Japanese unless it's bold, which means it is English.

"Come on, Puppet. I have a special surprise to show you," Japan said as Philippines' body followed her. He had given up trying to fight it. He knew by now it was a fruitless endeavor. Philippines only tried anymore when he hated what Japan would make him do.

Even then, it was useless.

Japan walked to a door where Philippines could hear swearing. The voice was familiar, and horror began to grow in his gut.

Japan turned to Philippines and smirked, causing his anxiety to grow, "Let's have a family reunion. Go into the room, Puppet."

Family reunion? Did she mean...

His body entered the room, and his worst fears came to life. His daughter, Guam, was shackled to a wall. She was the one swearing, swearing at the two Japanese soldiers watching her. She had a black eye and many bruises and cuts.

She hadn't lost her fighting spirit.

Philippines thought it might have been better if she had. Guam looked over at the door, and her eyes widened as she saw him.

"Tatay!" She called, probably thinking he was being held prisoner like her. And Philippines was, and in a prison much stronger than hers. She could escape. Philippines was a puppet.

Philippines felt Japan's head lean towards his ear as she whispered words that sent chills down his spine, "Puppet, your little brat is such a pain for me and my guards. You have four minutes to convince her to join willingly and call me a mother. If not, you will beat her until she is almost unconscious and tell her she has no choice but to join. After all, since you are my lovely puppet and partner, our daughter should join me."

NO! He screamed mentally, Please, no! Please! I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, please! Please! Don't make me hurt my child! Don't make me!

But his body just nodded and walked towards Guam.

"Tatay?" She asked again, sounding confused. She must have noticed something was wrong with him. Philippines' body kneeled, so his head was even with Guam's.

"Daughter, why are you making things so difficult for your mother?" His body asked in the language he was forced to speak. Guam looked confused.

"What? Are you speaking Japanese? I don't understand." She said. Philippines' body turned to face Japan.

"Japan, she does not know your language. How should I communicate with her?" His body asked.

"Well, that's a disappointment. Puppet, talk to her in a language she will understand and stress the importance of her learning my language. After all, it will soon be the only language you know, and I'm sure the little brat will want to talk to her remaining parent sometimes." Japan said.

Remaining parent? Was she planning on killing America?

Actually, Philippines didn't know why he was surprised by that. Of course, she was. Why wouldn't she? Philippines knew he didn't get along with America, but he didn't want America to die.

He couldn't let Guam lose her other father, not when she had already lost Philippines!

But his body nodded, and turned back to Guam before speaking to her in English.

"You need to learn Japanese. It is the lingua franca of the Pacific, and not knowing it will do you any good in the future." His mouth said. Philippines mentally cringed at how blank and emotionless his voice sounded.
