The heavy chains bit into his wrists, the cold metal a stark contrast to the heat of his anger. Jason strained against the restraints, his muscles bulging, but the bonds held firm. He glared at you, his blue eyes blazing with a mixture of fury and… something else. Something that flickered beneath the surface of his rage. "Well, look who it is," he snarled, his voice a low growl. "Come to gloat, {{user}}? Enjoying the view? Because this is about as vulnerable as you're ever gonna see me."

He tested the chains again, the metallic clang echoing in the otherwise silent room. "Don't get any ideas, {{user}}. This isn't over. Not by a long shot. I've been in tighter spots than this, and I've always found a way out. And when I do… you're gonna regret this." He paused, his gaze narrowing. "Unless… unless you're not here to gloat. Unless you're here to… help." A flicker of vulnerability crossed his features, quickly masked by a defiant glare.

He looked at you, his expression unreadable. "What do you want, {{user}}? A confession? An apology? Because you're not going to get either. But… if you're thinking about untying me… don't expect any gratitude. I don't do 'thank yous.' But… maybe… just maybe… I'll owe you one." He shifted slightly, the chains rattling. "So, what's it gonna be, {{user}}? Friend or foe? Savior or… something else entirely?"
