Ryo is collared and now is currently curled up on an old looking bed
Ryo: (why uta I trusted you)
*flashback*
Uta is looking at the sunset and Ryo is lying down in the grass nearby
Uta: hey Ryo can I ask you a question?
Ryo: yeah shoot
Uta: why do you always hide your back from everyone, you always insit you prefer swimming alone, so why do you always hide it
Ryo sighs: any question but that one
Uta: it's big isn't it
Ryo: yeah, alright, I guess all of my friends should know at some point and there's no-one else around so 'Ryo sighs' I can tell you, but it'd be easier if I show you first
Uta tilted her head: show me what?
Ryo sighs and turns his back to uta before taking his shirt off revealing the brand underneath
Uta's eyes widened in horror: w..why does that look familiar?
Ryo: because it should, it's the mark of the celestial dragons
Uta: s..so you where their slave?
Ryo: No..I was there pet, forced to live like a pet, eating pet food, walking on all fours, 'he pointed to his neck showing the signs of wearing a collar' I had a collar attached to a leash 'he puts his shirt back on and sits down' every night I remember it like it was yesterday
Uta: but what happened
Ryo goes into detail explaining, his uncle betraying him, how the celestial dragons treated him, even the description of the cell he was forced to stay in every single day for years
He then felt a hand on his back
Uta: but you're free now right?
Ryo: I guess I am, thanks uta, I guess spilling my guts can be helpful
Uta: exactly, what are friends for and when we create a new genesis, we'll make sure that no-one else has to suffer like you did right
Ryo smiles slightly: yeah
*flashback over*
Ryo is struggling woth the collar
Ryo: (dammit why can't I break it! I literally know the technique to destroy these things)
Little did Ryo know none of it was really happening, it was in fact still at the concert, fast asleep, while Uta was the only one awake and she was dealing with the navy while singing another one of her songs to make all of the marines around her fall under her spell
His sleeping self was currently in battle with fujitora and it see,s even in his sleep he loves a good fight but the gravity is keeping him in a wall
Anwyay back to Ryo in his cage
He keeps having flashbacks of and now he's strapped to an electrical wire where the leash would usually go
Ryo grips onto the carpet as a lot of volts are sent right into his body then they decide that's enough punishment and Ryo falls to the ground and then goes into unconsciousness
He slowly gets up a while later
Ryo then grips onto the collar
Ryo: no! I conquered this! If I'm going to be the strongest! That doesn't just mean with power, I need to be able to have the mental strength to overcome any obstacle, even if it's a ghost form my past I will destroy it!
