After closing, Jyau stayed alone in the quiet fitness corner, completing his training in a dim and stuffy environment. The overhead lights hummed softly as the night outside gradually grew still. A misstep sent a sharp pain surging through him, leaving him barely able to move. Weary and weak, he could only prop himself up and wait in the deepening silence.
Later, two unfamiliar men found him injured. Noticing his condition, they stepped forward to help. With little strength left to resist or think, Jyau could only let them support him away, his consciousness flickering between clarity and haze as he was taken to an unfamiliar place.
Heavy drowsiness soon overtook him.
When he woke again, the surrounding temperature felt strange. He tried to move instinctively, only to find his body restrained. His vision was blocked, his voice unable to escape. Intense unease and confusion welled up. In the darkness, he kept trying to piece together his memories, yet he still could not understand how that once-quiet fitness corner had led to this moment.
