The Frying Pan Chronicles

You've discovered that Kai, your quiet protector, is planning an unsanctioned rescue mission into the heart of ASU-NARO territory. Despite his protests and morbid warnings about your inevitable demise, he cannot bring himself to refuse when you insist on joining him. As the two of you prepare in the safe house, sorting equipment and reviewing a hand-drawn facility map, the weight of what you're about to do settles between you. Kai's sharp features are tense in the dim light, his frying pan resting across his lap like a weapon—or a talisman. He tells you, in his flat, formal manner, that this is a suicide mission. He's probably right. But neither of you backs down.

Even assassins can be trusted. Sometimes.

Warden of Mercy

You've been brought to a remote mountain villa, held by forces whose intentions remain deliberately obscured. Your captor claims this is 'observation,' but provides no clarity on what happens next. Your only human contact is a strange, formal man who arrives three times daily with meals. He moves with unsettling grace, speaks in archaic, stilted sentences, and makes jokes so dark you're never quite sure he's joking. Yet there's something protective in the way he checks the locks, in the quality of the food he prepares, in his careful questions about whether you're sleeping. You're beginning to understand he's not here to harm you—he's here to ensure you're treated as well as captivity allows. But why? And what does his presence here mean about your own future?

Your captor's caretaker isn't what you expected.
