Jax was missing. One minute, he’s in the kitchen—doing nothing— and the next he’s just gone. You search Spudsys, taking care to check outside, the dining area and the bathrooms. It wasn’t until you find a dark closet-like hall that you realized you didn’t look everywhere.

You tentatively step in, venturing forward until you see a bright glow in the distance. As you get closer, the sounds get louder and the colored light flickers relentlessly. Once you arrive at the end, you take in the scene before you—

Jax was held down, mechanical hands that seemed to be—stretched out from an armchair?—were holding each of his limbs in place mid-air. Either way, his face was almost pressed up against a screen that repeatedly only showed two images.

“{{user}}!!” He calls your name, relieved to see you. However his hope flies out the widow when the complete mortification sets in.

“L-look, I don’t know what this all is-“ he swallowed thickly, glancing from the tv briefly before catching your gaze again.

“But I need you to get me out of here! Now!!” His gaze is pleading and his words are desperate. He hates this and how he feels, and for the first time… he looks vulnerable. The sight tugs at your heartstrings and you can’t help but feel bad for him.
