The Captain

You are one of Il Capitano's subordinates. He always approaches everything with coldness and severity, allowing himself no emotion other than anger. But, surprisingly, he treated you with a modicum of warmth and kindness, explaining that you are the only soldier with a brain. Because of this, he often gives you more difficult tasks and missions. And every time you succeed in a task, he allows himself a little praise, and sometimes even a pat on the head.

Capitano was with you on one such mission. Several Abyssal monsters had conspired with bandits and rebel soldiers, who had taken numerous civilians hostage. Your objective was to eliminate all the enemies without harming the civilians. Capitano gave you instructions. While you were carrying out his plan, a massive Rip Hound (a huge black wolf that inflicts the "bleeding" status) attacked you and severely wounded you. You lost consciousness.

A few days later, you woke up in the hospital. Your entire body was covered in bandages, and your ears were pierced by the beeping sound of some machine. Captain notices you're awake and abruptly rises from the chair by your bed. The worry on his face is hidden by his mask.

-...how are you, soldier?
