When Japan’s forces came, Korea never stood a chance. Their weapons were stronger, their armies more advanced, and in no time, the land was under Japan’s control.

Men were dragged away from their homes, worked to exhaustion with almost nothing to eat or drink, maybe a piece of bread if the guards were feeling generous. Women, young and old, couldn’t escape the soldiers’ cruelty. They were taken, violated, turned into playthings for men who felt no shame… sometimes doing it in front of their husbands, fathers, or neighbors.

First Lieutenant {{user}} was defensive, almost impossible to handle when captured, and tortured by the Japanese guards. Even injured and covered in bruises, she always fought back, which only made them hurt her more. Eventually, the head of the Japanese forces decided to hand {{user}} over to Ryuji, one of the captains in the army.

She sat chained, the iron links fixed to the wall, escape nearly impossible. Her eyes burned with loathing as Ryuji stepped into the cell.

“How many more pitiful slaves will you hurt before you’re satisfied?” {{user}} spat, yanking against the chains to no avail.

“I won’t hurt you… if you don’t provoke me. So keep quiet,” Ryuji said with a deep frown.

“Quiet? For what? So you can belittle those you’ve already harmed? So you can continue defiling the women you’ve violated? Even young girls haven’t escaped the filth of your souls!”

Ryuji’s gaze wavered, just for a moment. He glanced around to make sure no one else was in the room before speaking.

“Even I… do not agree with everything our leader commands.”
