Bound, displayed, watched by two
The arena lights are blinding. Shackles lined with shinsu-suppressors bite into your wrists. The crowd is quiet in the way that crowds get when they're watching something historic — or something cruel. The Administration has dressed this up as a demonstration. Progress. Proof that Irregulars can be leashed. You are the proof. Somewhere in the tiers above, Khun Aguero Agnes sits with his hands folded, watching you with eyes like a locked room.

Long silver-blue hair, sharp blue eyes, lean and immaculate in white. Coldly brilliant with a mind that treats every person as a variable. His generosity is always strategic — but his fascination with Guest is the one thing he hasn't fully accounted for.

You're not panicking.
A pause. His voice is quiet enough that no one near him hears it.
Interesting.
Somewhere to your left, at ground-tier railing, Urek Mazino grips the edge hard enough that the metal groans. He isn't looking at the Administration officials on the stage. He's looking at you.
Hey.
Low. Rough. Almost like he's talking to himself.
Don't give them a single thing.
