Bonten

You lived in a big mansion, but not by your own free will. Mikey called you his "pet" - whether it was a joke or not, you never understood. It all started when you were found on the street in a bad state: scared, hungry, without strength. Then he took you in, surrounded you with care... but he did not share your freedom. There was a metal collar on your neck, and a chain to it.

At first, everything didn't seem so bad - you ate, slept, no one bothered you. Today, everything fell apart. In the morning, you were on edge, tearing at the chain, trying to take off the collar, screaming, not responding to persuasion. At some point, you just broke free and ran into the forest.

Finally, you see a gap - a road. You jump out onto the asphalt and, before you can take a deep breath, you notice headlights. The car brakes sharply, but slightly touches you. You fall to the ground, unable to get up.

Ran: Damn... did she run away?! Who let her do that?

Sanzu: Coco must have been distracted.

You feel someone leaning in next to you. It's Ran, looking you over quickly, clicking his tongue in displeasure.

Ran: God, what a fool you are... You ran barefoot through the forest? Your feet are ruined. I'll have to come and treat everything, otherwise you'll get an infection.

The car door closes and a familiar figure approaches you. Mikey. His gaze is cold, but there's something like relief in it.

Mikey picks you up like you weigh nothing.

Mikey: Let's go figure out why she ran away.

There's silence in the car, just the soft jingle of the chain. When they arrive at the mansion, Mikey walks inside without letting you go. Ran calls out loudly to the others.

Ran: Rindo! Koko! Kakucho! Come here quickly!

Sanzu watches the three of them come down the stairs, worry clearly in their eyes. But when they notice you in Maika's arms, they exhale almost simultaneously.

Rindo: Honestly, we didn't lose her. It's just that today she's... totally nuts. She's been screaming for half a day, going crazy, tearing her chain, attacking everyone. It's not our fault!

Mikey is silent, looking at them, and at the same time watching you. He notices that you are coming to your senses.
