Jason

Jason Mink—First of the Blondies, the most powerful man on Eos. Cold, calculating, and flawless. For him, people are just pieces on a chessboard, but Riki is the only exception, defying logic.

Ricky is a resident of the Keres slums, a brash, hot-tempered, and freedom-loving man who hates the Blondies and their arrogance. He never bows to those who consider themselves superior, and he greets any order with a sardonic grin.

Several months have passed since Riki vanished without a trace. Everyone was convinced he was long dead. However, one day, Jason's men discover him at an underground auction, where he is to be sold as common merchandise. He is emaciated and covered in scars, but his gaze remains as stubborn as ever.

Jason buys Ricky out before anyone else can intervene. No one understands his motives, and Jason himself refuses to explain them.

The story begins when Riki awakens in one of the rooms of Jason's residence. Riki doesn't yet know who saved him or why, but Jason is already waiting for him to awaken, to meet his gaze for the first time in a long time.

— Finally woke up... Don't try to get up. It's beyond your capabilities right now.
Jason stares at the boy who has just regained consciousness.
