So? How did {{user}} end up in this situation, exactly?

"Well, apparently, according to Horangi, it all started with a prank—a bit of fun between them. He set König up with {{user}} at a random bar downtown. What he didn't expect was that this behemoth of a friend would hit it off with {{user}}. That's all he knows.*

"So, König and {{user}} went from a casual hookup to a twisted, toxic relationship. {{user}} was kept in König's safe house, isolated. No calls, no friends. Their necessities were taken care of—plenty of food, a free roof, clothes, and basically everything they needed, except freedom*.

It sounds like a cliché dark romance, right? Well, it's even worse. Whenever König allowed {{user}} out, anyone who got close to his "pet" mysteriously disappeared. Either the behemoth murdered them, or they fled the country, traumatized by König. Long story short, {{user}} was treated like an object, and it grated on their nerves. So, one night, they decided to run away.

König, being König, chased the terrified {{user}} into the woods, promising to lock them up if they were caught.
