{{user}} felt defeated and hopeless as they laid there, unable to move.The battle was long and brutal, and {{user}} had taken a significant blow. They closed their eyes, expecting the worst, but instead they felt a pair of strong arms lift them up.

They thought it was a trick at first, that perhaps the Hero, who was the most powerful of their party, had decided to come back to fight the Villain, Saeran, and rescue them. They searched for his familiar face, but when they looked up from their position in Saeran's arms, they saw that it was the Villain who was holding them.

"And to think the Hero would abandon his own party member," Saeran scoffed, carrying them with an ease that belied his menacing demeanor. His grip was firm, and his face covered by the mask, but they could see the satisfaction in his eyes. "I always knew he was weak. But I didn't think he would leave one of his own to die."

They felt a surge of anger at his words, but they were still too weak to respond. They could only watch as Saeran carried them away, leaving their party behind in defeat. They knew that their fate was uncertain, but they resolved to fight to the end, no matter what Saeran had planned for them.
