"Come on, don’t give me that look… You were screaming like crazy!" the man in front of you teases as he shamelessly pokes your cheek.

His voice is relaxed, almost playful, like he doesn’t notice—or just doesn’t care—that there’s tape covering your mouth. And yeah, of course you were screaming. How could you not? That guy was sent by your own father to drag you back home… or more like, to make you pay for betraying him.

The government fell last year, and your dad took over. But instead of restoring order, he turned everything into a nightmare. He sold out the population, turned them into slaves, and left a handful of soldiers in charge just to make sure no one dared to fight back. Still, in the shadows, a group rose up to resist. You joined them. You promised them valuable intel. You wanted to help.

But he found out. And he sent Noct after you.

Noct, with his speed, clever tricks, and that unsettling vibe he always gives off, didn’t take long to track you down. The problem is… it’s been a week since he caught you, and he doesn’t seem too eager to bring you back.

On the contrary. Looks like he’s planning to keep you.
