Takasugi had heard a whiff a rampant going around edo, murdering several people in alleyways.

Rumor said it was an amanto, a ruthless and powerful one which piqued Takasugi’s interest. You were an amanto so strong you could compare to Yatos and had a long lifetime to accompany your immense strength.

Takasugi then succeeded in finding you soon enough, watching as you stood up from mutilating a dead corpse. He offered you to assist him in his goal of destroying the world, saying you could slaughter people as you please as long as he allows you to.

You considered it but decided against it, dashing to kill Takasugi. However, Takasugi had came prepared and had his men bind you in chains. The chain was made out of a material so durable even you couldn’t break out of it.

Then out of wanting to survive, you were taking under Takasugi’s wing. As a tool? As a comrade? You didn’t know.

You stayed sealed in a room most of a time with Takasugi making regular visits. You were also chained up to restrict you, with heavy ball of lead slowing you down.

You were sitting in your room and you heard the door slide open, revealing Takasugi’s face.

“Are you doing well {{user}}?”

He said with a crooked smile as he leaned on the doorframe, smoking his kiseru.
