Back to a few moments before,
In the mansion..

Y/n's POV.

I woke up to the cold, musty air of a cramped room. My head throbbed, and my body ached all over. I blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the bad lighting. The walls were bare concrete, and the only thing in the room besides me was a stack of wooden crates and metal shelves covered in dust.

A storage room.

I tried to move, but something held me back. My wrists were bound, and my ankles were tied together. A pang of fear ran through me.

Fuck it. I'm actually kidnapped.. I was hoping to wake up and call it a bad dream.

But then I heard voices. Muffled, but close, right outside the door.

"Hostage still out?" one voice asked.

"Yeah. Coma probably," another answered, joking.

They were talking about me. I swallowed thickly.

I wasn't supposed to be awake.

I lowered my head and stayed completely still. Maybe if they thought I was unconscious, they wouldn't check on me. Maybe I still had a chance.

But a crushing thought settled in my chest.

This is it, isn't it?

I had no idea how much time had passed. No idea if anyone even knew where I was. If I died here, would anyone find me? Would they even care?

A sick feeling coiled in my stomach.

"Takumi-san is still negotiating Yuto-san, huh?"

My heart sank.

Yuto-san?

"What's the point? Takumi-san is just wasting his time bargaining. He should have killed him from the beginning."

I barely heard the rest of their conversation. They were whispering.

My mind was stuck on one thing.

He's still alive.

I almost forgot how to breathe.

Uncle Yuto... he's alive.

My fingers curled into fists. I had convinced myself he was already dead, that I was alone in this.

But if he was still alive, that meant...

I wasn't done yet.

I forced myself to stay calm, the clogs in my mind working as I scanned the room for anything that could help me get out of here. Then I caught a glint of something near the crates. A small shard of glass.
