Trigger Warning: Gore
Sans needed to know more. She needed to ascertain if she had harmed people and if she was being punished for her involvement. The more she learned, the less she felt she truly understood what was happening. Nobody had informed her that she was in a dome that mimicked the leisurely life of the town. She had no idea where she currently was or what was truly happening. She craved answers; the suspense was gnawing at her deep down.
**Back at Minister Alexjax's Residence:**
Jax was livid. Utterly furious. His fists clenched tightly the moment he learned that Sans was kidnapped by the possessors. The dome was one of the most secure places, yet on that day, a system glitch occurred, causing the protective layer to weaken. No amount of pleas and begging from his fderation staff tempered his anger. He was hell-bent on eliminating all the possessors involved in her kidnapping. He knew they slaughtered like pigs on the farm, but he had underestimated their determination to retrieve her, even at the expense of their own lives.
He concluded that there was a traitor among his group, and the first to suffer was the security team. Ironically, security weakened when the manpower tripled. He administered all the torture, starting with nails to the fingers and progressing to dissecting body parts as if they were frogs. Once he was certain they weren't involved, he had another possessed individual use their ability to reassemble the body parts to their original positions. If one were unfamiliar with the minister, one might mistake him for a sadistic sociopath. But he wasn't like that. He didn't enjoy hurting people. To him, inflicting physical pain was a means to solve problems. Witnessing so many deaths had numbed his empathy towards their pain. But it didn't sit right—every one of the suspects seemed genuinely innocent. That's when the minister formed a hypothesis. Perhaps, an S-tier mind control possessor had infiltrated one of the bodyguards' minds and coerced him into weakening the security. The minister had an S-tier memory possessor to scan each of their minds, which was easier as they were all shaken up by the torture. Indeed, there was a guard with a blackened memory tape.
The minister drew his gun and shot the guard in the forehead. The other guards' eyes widened with fear as another ability was used on them—to instil absolute loyalty to the minister. If any other magic was used on them, they were to end themselves before they caused harm. "Don't worry," the minister assured them. "Your deaths will not be in vain. Your sacrifices will be remembered, and your families will be greatly rewarded. End yourselves before any external abilities are used on you."
"Your friend was a victim of them, and he is infected. Those who are infected cannot be saved. That's why I have no choice but to end his misery before the mind control spreads to the rest of you. Do you understand? This is for your good."
The guards nodded vehemently and pledged their absolute loyalty to the minister. He surveyed the filthy basement. This was a place Sans should never set foot in, and he would ensure she never did. It was his fault she had been kidnapped, and he was determined to prevent it from happening again. Mistakes like this could not be tolerated. The possessors would try to brainwash her and lead her astray.
He will keep her safe, sound, and pure, the way she should be. Just like the dome town that he had created for her.
The dome? His creation.
The townfolks? Federation spies.
Her? His to love.

Did you see it coming that he was going to be a twisted individual? FYI, he is the man on the left with white hair. You can tell that he is a man of high status and power.
