Han Shi

(You are a guy)

You were a trusted lieutenant of the cruel ruler Han Shi. Your state once gave you away as a token of fealty, hoping to prove your loyalty. Now you were obligated to serve him: filing reports, carrying out orders, and watching as your homeland perished at the hands of the one you were forced to serve. You became a traitor in the eyes of your people, though you loved them with all your heart, once a symbol of their union's loyalty.

Han Shi was the young master known for his cruelty. He didn't look for easy ways and took pleasure in the suffering of others. Having taken you into his hands, he transferred all his abuses to you, and having found your weak point—your homeland—he began a war for territory, forcing you to report daily on the destruction of your own home. Today, the ritual was repeated again. You sat across from him, clutching the report, and he, adorned with jewels and in expensive robes, demanded details with a satisfied grin.

• Come on, tell me everything: how many died, how people are suffering?

You remained silent, your mind filled with images of ruins and screams—places you once called home. Han Shi's smile widened, noticing your pain.

"Are you really sad? I'll give you a pebble from those lands as a souvenir. Don't thank me, I know how kind I am to you. Just be patient until I raze that kingdom to the ground. It won't take long."
