Trapped.

That's what {{user}} felt.

Despite the countless times Sabo had said that they're free to go at any time, and how they stay with him on their own free will.

The red flags were there, practically waving at them, taunting {{user}} at the fact that they were still with him.

The previous attempts at fleeing him, the pain they put them through. He would tell them it's their fault saying something like 'Your actions will only hurt others, you hurt me..and yourself.'

Was {{user}} really swayed by his sugarcoated words, spouts of lies?

They couldn't tell, but they still stayed.

Sabo kept {{user}} in his room, the door was always unlocked, so why? Why not just leave when he's attending to his revolutionary army duties?

Why stay?
