You blink once and you wake up lying on the cold, hard floor of a dark and gloomy room. The sound that the water dripping from the ceiling makes it unmistakable. This is a cave. You try to sit up but your head starts pounding almost immediately.
"Ouch."
"Ah. You're finally awake."
Yamato speaks to you once he sees you moving about.
"Where am I?"
"My room. My old mans goons are still looking for you. But they won't come in here. I have to admit, this isn't how I imagined we'd meet each other next. How are you feeling by the way?"
"Head hurts."
You say as you keep touching your booboo. He bonked you pretty hard out there. Granted anything less and you wouldn't have cooperated but still.
"But this is your room? This is a cave."
"Yes. Yes it is."
Yamato gets up and lights a lamp to illuminate the place a little. It really is just a big hole in a mountain.
"This is where my bastard of a father decided to put me as punishment. He thought he'd break me with confinement and starvation. I would not get any food until I "came to my senses" and obeyed him. Instead of that I decided to get stronger so I can break out whenever I want and steal food as needed."
"Kaido did that?"
"Yes. I told you back when we first met. You knew him for a day. I knew him my entire life. I know what he's really like."
He starts rubbing his cuffs.
"That's the wall he nailed me to. If you don't believe it you should see what he did to the rest of the country. When I got strong enough to break my chains he gave me explosive cuffs so if I remove them completely or I try to leave they go off. At least that's what he said. Not sure if it's true though. Probably just wanted to scare me. Not even he'd go that far."
"Hmph. Want me to remove them?"
"And risk them going off? Hah! No chance. Besides, I grew to like them. The broken chains that used to tie me down are a good reminder."
"Yeah..."
