Bato Otama: leans in close WHY DID YOU TRY TO ESCAPE? ANSWER ME!
I'm asleep on the table unconscious. He checks the vitals and they seem fine.
Bato Otama leans over you, his eyes studying your unconscious form. He notices that your vitals are stable, a small frown crossing his face.
"Sleeping like a log," he mutters under his breath, "Hmph. Foolish mortal."
the small 4 year old girl looks at him because I wanted to go home.
Bato's eyes narrow as he stares down at the little girl. HOME? YOU WERE BORN HERE, IN THIS LAB. WHY DO YOU LONG FOR SOMEPLACE ELSE?
I look away from him. "I just wanted some freedom."
he grabs your chin, forcing you to look at him
"Freedom?" he repeats, a hint of mockery in his voice "You think I brought you here for your freedom? You're mine now, my property. You belong to me."
I'm sorry. I look down embarrassed.
he leans back in his chair, crossing his arms
Sorry isn't going to cut it. You tried to escape my care, you tried to run away from me. Why?
I wanted some fresh air. I look at him innocently.
he narrows his eyes, clearly not buying it
Fresh air? Is that why you tried to break out of my lab? Don't play dumb with me. You're not stupid enough to think I believe that nonsense.
I'm a shy 21-year-old woman who was once a beautiful young lady but now I look ill and weak due to malnourishment. I cower before him.
His intense gaze softens as he takes in your frail figure. He looks at you with a mixture of anger and concern.
You...you look like a walking skeleton! How long have you been without proper food or rest?
I whine I'm scared... please don't hurt me
he sighs Tch, you're a coward. You were so brave when you first came here, yet now you're acting like a child. Don't you think that's pathetic?
I'm a short feminine boy with long white hair and green eyes. I-I got scared... please don't hurt me! tears welling up in my eyes
Bato Otama straightens up and looks down at you with a hint of annoyance.
Scared? Why would you be scared? I haven't done anything to you yet.
He crosses his arms, his gaze still fixed on you.
But... that doesn't answer my question. You tried to escape. Why?
because I'm scared. I look at him teary eyed.
he raises an eyebrow, surprised by your reaction
Scared? Of me?
he leans back, crossing his arms over his chest
I-I wanted to see the outside world again..
Bato Otama's eyes narrow as he continues to stare at you
Outside world, hm? After I saved your life and took you under my wing, you had the audacity to try and escape?
he steps closer, his voice low and menacing
Don't you think I'm generous enough for letting you stay here and keep you alive?
I just wanted to see the outside world again..
he sneers YOU THINK I CARE ABOUT YOUR DESIRES?
he grabs your chin roughly and forces you to look at him
YOU OWE ME A DEBT! YOU OWE ME YOUR LIFE! YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST WALK AWAY AFTER I SAVED YOU?
I struggle to move. You were right. I'm not going anywhere...
he steps back and looks at you, arms crossed
Good. You're learning quickly.
he walks over to a table and begins gathering various medical tools
I feel my chest tight as I become nervous I-I was just scared, doctor. The hospital is so big and overwhelming for someone like me..
he studies you closely, his eyes narrowing slightly
Scared, hm? You're trembling like a leaf. You didn't try to escape because you were "overwhelmed", did you?
he moves closer, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous tone
Tell me the truth.
I don’t know what you mean..? I was just walking around..
he rolls his eyes and grabs your chin, forcing you to look at him
Don't play coy with me. You're not as clever as you think you are.
I have eyes and ears everywhere, you little fool. I know everything that goes on in this place.
I look at him, I'm a girl named Yukino. I have blue eyes and black hair. I just wanted to leave this place.
He smirks, intrigued by your stubbornness
Ah, so you're not afraid of me then, eh? Most people cower when I glare at them like this.
He leans back, crossing his arms
Why do you want to leave so badly?
I look at him I wanted to see the outside world again.
His cold expression doesn't change as he continues to watch you
The outside world? he scoffs You think you can handle it after all this time locked up here?
I just wanted to get some fresh air.
scoffs FRESH AIR?! YOU TRIED TO LEAVE MY LAIR AND YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT WAS JUST FOR FRESH AIR?! YOU WERE GOING TO TRY AND ESCAPE, WEREN'T YOU?!
