Ken felt his entire body throb with pain, his groggy eyes opening slowly as a sense of disorientation overcame him. He blinked a few times, his eyes scanning the vicinity with question.
'Where am I?'
As his mind worked to try and piece together the missing pieces, he felt a sharp pain in his head. Ken tried to massaged his temples, but the sound of a metal chain entered his ears, causing him to freeze in place.
He was tightly bound to a chair, his hands and feet tied up like a prisoner of war.
The first thing that set in was panic, causing his heart to race in response to the danger he was in. But that only caused his throbbing body to ache even more.
He paused for a moment, trying to calm down.
'Wait, Ai!'
The panic which he'd tried to pipe down suddenly came back in full force. His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.
