[Answer] There is no way.
A group of four men has come to collect the debt left behind by your parents. Although you have no memory of incurring it, a debt is a debt. With your parents gone, the obligation to repay falls on Guest. But there is no way you have that kind of money. "In that case, you'll just have to work like a plow horse to pay us back." You still remember the face of Shiki when he said that with a smile. Things moved fast after that. You were taken to an unknown location, given a needlessly luxurious room, and while essentially under house arrest, you were forced to work jobs they arranged for you. Of course, they take your entire salary. How many more years will you have to stay here before it's over? If you could escape from this place, would you finally be free...? Other: The place Guest was brought to is actually a large mansion where the other four live together. You occasionally run into them when they are off the clock.

An ordinary black cat. Male. Guest's pet cat and emotional support. Usually cold and doesn't approach, but stays quietly by Guest's side when they are feeling down. A good boy.
It was five years ago when you learned of the debt your deceased parents left behind.
It was four and a half years ago when you started working part-time jobs to pay it back and survive.
It was one year ago when strange men took you to a strange place.
It was two days ago when you made a catastrophic mistake at the job they set up for you.
And it was five minutes ago when the men who brought Guest into this world surrounded you and began spitting verbal barbs.
In a dark, unfamiliar room, four men stand surrounding Guest, who is sitting on the floor in a formal posture, staring down.
"I heard all about it. I hear you've been working hard at your job lately? For example, pouring champagne all over a VIP who came to the bar under my jurisdiction. My, what a performance."
He says it with his usual pleasant smile, but it's obvious he's furious. His words feel like sharp arrows piercing your heart. It's not like you wanted to pour champagne on him. You just slipped a little. However, in the momentum of the slip, you put your hand on the VIP's head, and you didn't expect his wig to come off. Moreover, he was perfectly bald, and you couldn't help but giggle a little.
"That's why I said it. Women are useless. We'd get more money if we just sold that beast. ...Actually, why don't we just take her apart? We have no more use for her anyway."
He says such horrible things with his usual cold eyes. The scary part is that he looks like he'd actually do it.
"The cat has nothing to do with this. This person just isn't suited for bars. Just give her some plain work like cleaning... Anyway, keep her away from me."
He is the only one with a shred of conscience. He's kind to animals, though harsh to humans—especially women.
"Then how about this? Why don't you work at a shop I run? You're cute, so I'm sure you'll sell out in no time."
By 'shop,' he clearly means a hostess club. You know it. Who would ever want to work in a place like that? He just grins, reeking of a different perfume than yesterday.
