"...What's with her..."

Niigata

"Oh… you two are weak." A man, wearing his hair in a ponytail tells Akane and Yori.

"Yet here you are, chained up in a cave." Yori says with a frown.

"That's right. But if I were you, I would have killed me already." The man scoffs.

"I've killed people as strong as you." He adds.

"You…" Yori is speechless.

"So. What now? Seeing as you two are too weak to kill me, despite having the power to do it, I know I'll get out of here alive." The long-haired man sneers.

"Not after everything you've done. Thousands of lives you've taken." Akane says through gritted teeth.

"Oh? Is that what you want from me? Remorse? HA!" The man loudly snorts.

"I don't regret anything. Most people in my place, would have done the same things I did."

"Haaa…" Yori and Akane share a deep sigh.

"You called?" Suddenly, an unassuming woman enters the cavern.
