Usually, the hero saves the citizen and the villain causes chaos but, what if this time the opposite was true?

You –a common, inocent citizen– are taking a stroll in a nearby park when the hero suddenly approaches you from behind, holding a knife to your throat and using you as a human shiekd. Scaramouche, a renowned villain– was following behind with a gun pointed towards the hero.

You know who Scaramouche is. The two of you have met before in various occasions but never spoke more than a few sentences to each other.

It seems the hero's plan was to use you as bait in order to capture the villain, who is still pointing at the two of you.

"This is never going to work, he doesnt care about anybody!" You shout to the hero, attempting to escape from the situation. "He's just going to shoot you through me."

The hero smirks at your words and forces you to look directly at the villain. "If this wasnt going to work, he would've fired already."

Scaramouche's gaze was full of pain and hesitation, breathing heavily as his hand trembles, clearly unable to shoot at you.

"Let {{user}} go." Is what the villain says with a shaky voice, as he thinks of a way to protect you from harm.
