"Well, well, well..." | Hiding | Ambushed | Stalking |
Content: implied stalking, implied torture, drugging, recapture
Whumpee had a sinking feeling that someone had been watching them. Everyone, even themself, tried to brush it off as just the result of being held captive by Whumper for so long. It was just them being paranoid. Or so they thought.
One night after Whumpee had come home from a somewhat normal day at work, they swore they heard footsteps from upstairs. They listened closely and stopped in their tracks as they heard someone making their way down the stairs. Nope, definitely not their imagination. They grabbed a kitchen knife and scrambled into the back of the nearest closet.
Whoever was there was taking their dang time. This made the situation all the more real, and Whumpee hardly noticed they were holding their breath.
As the intruder got closer, Whumpee could make out the all too familiar click of shoes across the tile floor. When the closet door was pulled open, the knife was rendered useless as Whumpee completely froze in terror, dropping the knife as menacing eyes looked down on them.
"Well, well, well," Whumper grinned, "What do we have here?"
Whumpee merely looked up at Whumper dumbfounded. After all the effort in running and rebuilding their life, Whumper had still found them.
"I'm honestly disappointed you thought you could hide from me Whumpee."
"How'd you-?"
"It was quite easy honestly. After you escaped I just asked around. It wasn't hard to notice a traumatized little person like you wandering around begging for help. Gosh, almost everyone I asked had heard about you. I just followed the trails and here I am."
I mean Whumpee couldn't really be surprised at that. They had learned in their time with Whumper that Whumper had ties everywhere. They were overall a kind person to those who knew them under different circumstances and therefore a lot of people trusted them. Whumpee internally cursed themself for thinking they ever had a chance. Whumper would always have the upper ground.
"How long ago did you find me?"
"Oh, months ago. It's been fun watching you try to undo all the work I've done. No matter what you do, I'm still there. Heck, the evidence of me is all over your body."
Whumpee shivered as the scars littered under their sweater became all the more noticable. It was like someone had stuck a match to them and everywhere Whumper had ever hurt them was on fire, burning so hot they couldn't scrub away the pain.
"I'm surprised you could even hold this knife without being reminded of me," Whumper easily picked up the knife, Whumpee too scared to try anything. "We both know that deep down, you'd never be able to hurt me anyways, not after all I've done to you."
Whumpee didn't know what to do anymore. They were corned and Whumper was right, they'd never be able to hurt Whumper no matter how much they wanted to. They could at least waste some time by talking, maybe get some of the answers they'd been hoping for.
"So it was you all along. Everyone thought I was crazy. Even I thought I was."
"Yeah. That's the other thing that was fun. Watching you always on edge trying not to lash out at everyone that tried to help you, but you still ended up pushing them all away. That's why no one is here to save you Whumpee. I'm the only one you have whether you like it or not."
Whumpee shivered at that thought. It was the truth no matter how much they tried to wipe it from their mind. Whumper knew them all too well.
Whumper couldn't help but love how careful Whumpee was being. Trying to stall time, barely saying a word, not even fighting back. That was a big improvement from when they'd first taken Whumpee.
"Ready to go?" Whumper asked, even though they both knew Whumper would drag Whumpee kicking and screaming out the door.
Whumpee's heart dropped, "Wait... what?"
Whumper laughed, "Come on Whumpee, you really thought I just came here to scare you? No, I'm taking you with me."
"You- you can't! This is my home now. I- did so much to get here and... and you can't just take it all away again!"
"Oh, just watch me," Whumper's grin was something Whumpee was all too used to, but this time it was filled with a coldness Whumpee had never seen before and it scared them so, so much.
Before Whumpee could even blink, Whumper injected something into their neck.
"Nonono. You did not," Whumpee's world began to spin and nausea crept up their throat.
"Oh yes I did."
The last thing Whumpee remembered before their world went dark was Whumper scooping them up and their cold voice in their ear.
"Time to go home Whumpee."

--------------------------------------------
"Hey, Shuichi, can ya do me a favor?"
The tan-haired boy turned from Kirumi to Miu, who was now holding a tray with a small saucer and a cup full of a steamy brown liquid.
"...Hot chocolate?"
"It's⌠for Rantaro. He's been studying all day, y'know? I kinda⌠kinda worry about him."
Don't we all? thought Shuichi before asking, "Well, why do I have to deliver it then? If you want to show him you're worried, give it to him yourself. I think that'd be the obvious solution.â
Miu pouted and turned to the ingredients strewn across the countertop. "I would, but, well, I made that on a whim, and me and Kirumi still have to finish making dinner, and by the time we finish it'll get cold, andâŚ"
"And you're embarrassed to give it to him."
"Am not!!" Miu snapped back at Kirumi's smooth remark, shoving the tray into Shuichi's hands and shooing him out of the kitchen. "I just don't want him to think the wrong sorta things about this!"
"He told you himself he's aro-"
"That's not what I mean!! I mean I don't want him to think I'm babying him like I do with you guys and⌠and Kaz."
Shuichi let out a breath he didnât know heâd been holding. âItâs alright. If you donât want to, Iâll take it to him. Do you want me to tell him itâs from you, or-â
âNo, just say Kirumi made hot chocolate for everyone.â
âOkay.â He smiled and set off to find the medic.Â
He decided to check Rantaroâs lab first, assuming heâd be studying in there as he did often. But when he knocked on the door to the lab there was no response. It was even unlocked, which started to worry the violinist a bit before he looked around and saw nothing out of place. Wherever Rantaro was now, he had gone there in a rush, most likely, and thankfully it looked like nobody had been in here since then.Â
The knocks on his dorm room door were also met with silence, except this door was locked. He could be in there, Shuichi thought. They could never really figure out his thought process, after all. Regardless, he decided to check a few more possible study rooms before giving up.Â
Just the library and the pavilion outside are left, he thought, his hand already on the doorknob to his second-to-last destination. He was starting to regret looking in other rooms. The chocolate was already getting lukewarm. He turned the handle and entered.
Shuichi couldnât believe it. Here, after all his searching, the medic sat in the center of the library, reading and annotating a book from a large stack next to him. Normally Rantaro did his work in secret or at least alone. But for him to be here, in such an obvious place⌠Could he actually be starting to trust the others?
It was awkward, both of them realized, the green-haired boy looking up at his guest.Â
Shuichi cleared his throat. âAhem, uh, Kirumi⌠made hot chocolate for everyone. You want any?â He now understood why Miu dumped this job on him. He, too, would give anything to get away from this embarrassing moment.Â
Rantaro looked back at his book nonchalantly. ââM not thirsty. Go give mine to someone else,â he mumbled, waving the violinist away.Â
âRantaroâŚâ
The medic made a few more scribbles in the book with a pen.Â
âRantaro, weâre all worried about you, you know.â Shuichi said softly.Â
He shot out of his reading suddenly with a seemingly normal smile on his face, though Shuichi could see he had slight eye bags. âItâs fine, itâs fine. Iâm fine. You guys donât need to worry about me. Iâll see you at dinner, ok?â After this brief remark, he got right back to studying.Â
Shuichi placed the tray on the desk anyways, and left without a word. He wished Rantaro could understand the others, but, well, the guy was a war medic. How much could he really trust them after only a week or two? In fact, the violinist thought, he probably studied out in the open this time because it wasnât important stuff, or he could have just been faking the whole time, obsessing over the mastermind again. Rantaro didnât trust them. He never would, most likely, until they stopped the person behind this all. It made sense, but⌠there was just a part of Shuichi that wanted to trust everyone, even if that trust was a lie at its core. Something Rantaro could never consider, it seemed like. For a war medic, the boy sure was a mystery. One that he wasnât really sure he wanted to try to solve.Â
That evening, Rantaro did fulfill his promise, showing up for dinner just as he had said. He brought the tray with the cup and saucer back, too and- was that cup empty?Â
He probably dumped it out in the bathroom or something, Shuichi thought, knowing the medic couldnât have actually wanted to drink that uncomfortably semi-warm drink while busying himself with his research, even if that research was fake. And yet, something about Rantaro looked and felt off. As if his actions now were genuine. As if he was truly glad to be here, truly energized despite his previously miserable state.Â
The violinist heard a faint whisper behind him that he never wouldâve guessed was aimed at him had he not felt the quick poke of Miuâs fingernail on his back. âThe trick worked, donâtcha think? Rantaro just needed some sleep, I could tell.âÂ
âWhat are you talking about?â he mumbled back.
âOh, stealing a single sleep-inducing pill when the labâs unlocked and mixing it into a drink to make that stubborn medic get the sleep he needs? Never something Iâd think of doing. Never.â
Shuichi nearly cracked up. He could just barely stop himself from even laughing a little at the plan. And from what heâd seen, it worked. Rantaro was definitely suspecting Kirumi of something now, but at least he was more energetic, more human. Miu was right, he definitely needed some sleep before, even though he insisted he didnât.
âYou really gave him a taste of his own medicine, huh?â Shuichi said, letting out a small chuckle.Â
âWell, youâre the one who gave it to him. I could say the same about you. Oh, and have fun being on his watch list for a while.â
âYou too.â
The two of them giggled more at their dumb quips, Shuichi still watching Rantaro. The medic laughed at something Kokichi said that Shuichi couldnât hear from so far away, and a calm smile made its way onto the violinistâs face.Â
Unedited, as all of these are. The research I did for the end of this has surely gotten me on some kind of list lol. Rendacted cannot keep his accent together and that is not my fault. Ren and above image belong to @14dayswithyou
Summary: Ren does not gatekeep, but he does gaslight and girlboss
2.8k words
As I check out at the reception desk I call an uber to my place, making a quick transition from the hospital to my apartment. I didnât know how Ren could access information about me, but my working theory was through my phone. As an aspiring programmer I knew just how simple it could be to hack into someoneâs phone and gain remote access. So I didnât contact anyone, worried that he might see it.
When I get to my apartment I immediately go around my room, trying to quickly pack anything I might need into a bag. My plan was to wait him out in Violetâs apartment, she almost always just stayed home and gamed all Sunday, so I would let her know about my situation and ask if I could stay for a bit. I was sure she would oblige; she was always so kind to me, and never was very fond of Ren.
So I finish gathering my essential belongings and a container of cookies I had stress baked before leaving on Friday. I power off my phone, ignoring the multitude of messages from Ren, and open my door to knock on Violetâs.
Only to run into a cardigan-clad chest. I look up to see Ren with a friendly smile on his face, âOh, hey Angel! I was going to surprise you! Here!â
He holds out a bouquet of pink roses to me, which I just stare at blankly. How had he intercepted me just as I was leaving? How did he know I had even gotten back home? Why was he wearing a backpack?
He tilts his head, âWhatâs wrong, Angel? Why do you have a bag with you, where were you going?â
I forcibly pull myself together, and give him a smile, accepting the flowers, âOh thank you, Ren, these are lovely! I was just headed to your place actually, I was going to surprise you. Good timing, I suppose, wouldâve been awkward if we were both at the other apartment, huh?â
This seems to make him happy as he giggles, âYeah, that worked out well, didnât it? Luckily you donât have to walk now, I donât want you straining your stitches!â
I laugh, âHaha, yeah, I guess I hadnât considered that. Actually, hold that thought, I was gonna visit Violet to give her these cookies really quickly. I owe her one, so would you mind waiting here while I go inside?â
He holds my arm, stopping me from knocking on her door, âDo you really have to do that right now, Angel? I can deliver them to her later, she probably isnât even home right now. Why do you owe her anyway?â
I tug my arm free, breathing a silent sigh of relief when he lets me, âOh, donât worry, Ren, Iâll only be a minute. She never leaves the house on Sundays.â
But he grabs my arm again, pulling me back, âPlease, Angel, can we just go home now? You always take forever to talk to her.â
This time, when try I pull my arm back, he doesnât let go. I do my best to keep my breathing even, knowing that this was my best chance to escape, but also knowing that he could easily overpower me any time he chose. I look at him with a confused expression, âWhatâs wrong? I wonât take long, I promise.â
He gently tugs me away from her door, âCâmon Angel, letâs just go, please? Iâve been so worried about you, I just want to make sure youâre okay.â
I hold my ground, âI told you, Iâm fine. Iâm on painkillers, Iâve been on bedrest for two days. I just need to talk to Violet for a second.â
âBut why do you need to talk to her? I thought you were just going to drop off the cookies, canât that wait? You keep avoiding me and I donât know why!â
Panicking, I decide to finally make a move while Iâm in semi-public at least, âIâm sorry! I want to break up with you!â
Renâs face falls and it looks like I just punched him in the gut, âWha- but I- Angel, how could you? You said I didnât do anything wrong, why did yâlie to me? How can I fix it if you donât tell me? Please, Angel, donât do this, we can talk it out, just- just tell me please!â He gently guides me back into my apartment and this time I donât resist.
I try to pull together my mental fortitude. I really did like him a lot, I would have even said love, but I logically knew it was too soon for that. And now this is proving why. I remind myself of what I saw, the cold expression, the blood, the eyes, steeling myself to not be swayed.
I look at him firmly, âRen, I canât date you, Iâm sorry, you didnât do anything wrong, itâs me. I just- canât.â
Ren shakes his head, tears running from his eyes, âNo, I had to have done something, I canât- you canât- this is so sudden, something had to have happened. Please Angel, just let me make it right.â
I snap, worried at his insistence, âRen! You canât. Sometimes thatâs just the way things fall. Itâs not your fault, I wish you the best, I really do, I just canât date you anymore.â
He looks hopeful, âSo- wait- can we still be friends?â
I hesitate, âI- no, I donât think that would be wise. You deserve the time and space you need to move on and find somebody else.â
Ren reaches for me, but I quickly step backwards over an armâs length away. A devastated look crosses his eyes and settles there as he falls to his knees, pleading and gasping through tears, âNo, please, I canât- thereâs no one else I want. I donât want to find anyone, if I canât have you Iâd rather die alone. Iâd do anything for you, please, let me prove it to you. Iâll give you everything I have, just say the word, I promise, Angel, please just give me another chance.â
I shake my head and back away slowly, scared and taken aback by his utter desperation. I keep an eye on him while slowly sliding my phone out of my back pocket, hoping to contact someone in case anything happens.
He catches my movements before I can even attempt to make a call and shoots forward, grabbing my wrist and pulling it away from me before taking the phone itself, âDonât! Who are yâtrying tâcall? Conan? Violet? Why would you need tâcall them?â
His immediate shift from pathetic and crying to sharp and interrogating had me yanking my hand away from him with such force that I stagger into the couch behind me, hitting my injured hip. I hiss and tears fill my eyes, the pain, fear, and betrayal overwhelming me.
Ren rushes to me, pulling me into his arms, âAngel! Youâre hurt, you canât be making sharp movements like that.â
I shake uncontrollably, feeling utterly trapped as I push back against his chest to no avail, âThen let me go!â
He tightens his grip, âYou keep running away! I have to show you, I can be everything youâll ever need, I swear.â
I struggle harder, âI donât want you too! I donât even know who you are!â
He freezes, âWhat do you mean? Iâm Ren, your boyfriend.â
I let out a sob, âWe both know thatâs not true; I saw you! I know it was you that night Ren, you just murdered someone in cold blood! How would I know what else youâre capable of?â
He holds me tighter, âAngel, I donât know what youâre talking about, but you need to stop struggling, youâre going to hurt yourself.â
I wrench myself away from him, but I can tell I only succeed because he lets me, âNo, you need to let me go.â
He looks betrayed, âI already did!â
I shake my head, moving to the other side of the room. He follows me, but at least stays just out of reach. I protest, âNo, not just physically, this obsession, itâs not healthy. You need to leave me. Like I said, find somebody else.â
His eyes flash, âLike I said, I donât want anyone else.â
I snap, âWell youâre going to need to, because Iâm not dating someone I donât know! Iâm not staying with a murderer!â
He gestures for me to calm down, which automatically enrages me, but I stay quiet as he speaks, âAngel, you went through something extremely traumatic, I know everythingâs muddled right now, but I can help you. Iâm not trying to hurt you, Iâm not the one who attacked you, Iâm just Ren .â
I straighten my stance, no longer cowering, âYouâre not the one who attacked me, youâre the one who killed the attacker like it was your average Tuesday night! And you specifically went out of your way to hide it was you, so you canât just act dumb, it was intentional and planned!â
A thought comes to mind and I speak slowly, not believing it at first, âDid you- did you hire that man? What were you going to do with me? Were you just going to show off, but went too far or were you actually working with him and whatever disgusting plan he had?â
Ren looks disgusted and horrified at the suggestion, âAngel, can you even hear yourself? Thatâs crazy! Why would I hire someone to hurt you? And if I had, why would I have killed him? That doesnât make any sense! Your mind is playing tricks on you, trying to make sense of what happened.â His voice softens and he looks at me sympathetically, âBecause it shouldnât have happened, there is no excuse for those menâs behavior, and you never should have been targeted.â
I squint, âWhat do you mean, âmenâ? There was only one man that targeted me.â
Renâs face is full of saccharine sorrow as he says, âSee Angel, youâre already twisting what happened, there were two men that night, one killed the other, remember? Thatâs what it said on the news.â
I lower my head, looking at him skeptically, âYeah, only one of them targeted me. The other seemed concerned for my safety, six foot five with pink hair and a ring on his left ring finger. So who else was âtargetingâ me? And how do you know about it?â
Ren attempts to put a comforting hand on my shoulder, but I smack his hand away, rather harder than necessary, but he kinda deserved it, âDonât touch me.â
He raises his hands, âSorry, I- I just misspoke I guess, I assumed they were both targeting you from the sound of things.â
I huff, âI donât believe you. And since when could you speak Japanese?â
He throws his hands in the air, âI canât! See, I donât even know Japanese, how could I be the killer?â
I look him dead in the eye, âWhat would Japanese have to do with the killer?â
He sputters, âW- W- What do you mean? You just said-!â
I glare, âI never said the killer spoke Japanese, nor did I tell the ambulance workers or police. Only the people who were there knew.â
I see his eyes widen and a fond smile flit across his face before itâs replaced by confusion again, âBut- thatâs obviously what you were implying! I donât have any secret insider knowledge, Angel, I think youâre just paranoid.â
I am immediately brought back to the alleyway, with the drunken man staggering toward me, âIâm not gonna hurt ya, stop being so paranoid.â
I grasp around for any sort of weapon, settling on the fire poker right behind me and leveling it at Ren, âThatâs exactly what he said. You know what the next thing he did was?â
Ren backs a step away, âAngel, Iâm not going to hurt you, I donât have a knife.â
I start laughing, tears streaming down my face and no mirth in my voice, âHistory really does repeat itself, huh?â My voice drops to an emphatic hiss, âIâm not going to let that happen this time.â
Ren backs further away and sits down with his hands open and facing me cursing, âShit Angel, mâreally sorry, I didnât mean- fuck I keep choosing mâwords poorly, Iâm sorry, I really am. I- Iâm not like the guy that attacked you at all. I swear. YouâreâŚ. youâre right, I was the guy that killed him, but I didnât know what else to do, I had to protect you, you donât understand!â
I keep the poker directed at him, âI appreciate the truth, but Iâd like some more of it. Because what you didnât have to do was be there, dressed all in black like a creeper and with a whole fucking sledgehammer. Thatâs the part I donât understand.â
His eyes dart around as he thinks before speaking, âI was⌠I followed you, Iâm sorry, I didnât trust Teo to keep track of you and make sure you were safe. Youâre not used to bars, someone could have spiked your drink, and they did! There were three of them, clearly used to this routine. One of them distracted you while the other spiked your drink, and the third one waited outside for you. Thatâs why I was late, I had tâdeal with the other guys first, âcause they were gonna bring a car around.â
My head spins from this new information, âWait- what? What do you mean, âdeal withâ? There were three- I was drugged?! No I wasnât.â I think back to the night but donât remember any such ill effects.
Ren shakes his head, âNo, you werenât, because I switched your drinks when he wasnât looking, the fu-, I mean, the guy drugged himself. I just had to make sure the other one couldnât drive the car.â
I chew on my lip nervously, âAnd how did you do that?â
He mirrors my action, probably subconsciously, âTh- the point is that Iâd never hurt you, Angel. Please believe me.â
I shake my head, âAs much as Iâd like to believe you Ren, if thatâs even your real name, I canât risk it, thereâs too many things about you that donât add up.â
Ren leans forward earnestly, âAngel-â
I hiss, âShut up! Iâm done listening to you, get out of my house! You said youâd do anything for me, so leave!â I level the poker at him again.
He shakes his head and stands, genuine pain in his voice as he says, âIâm sorry, Angel, thatâs the one thing I canât do. I canât live without you, not again, not after I finally got you back.â
My hands shake, âStay away from me!â
Ren only moves closer to me, each step deliberate and calculated, but I can hear the desperation and helplessness in his voice when he responds, âI canât.â
Heâs so close now that the poker is resting on his chest, right above his heart. I try to keep my hand steady, but as my eyes flit between his eyes and his chest, I realize I wouldnât be able to actually stab him. He seems to realize this too, or maybe he just doesnât care as he continues to step forward.
My voice shakes, considerably quieter this time, âStop Ren, or I swear to god Iâll drive this right through your heart.â
That look. That damn look. His eyes are full of adoration as he continues toward me, my hands now pushed back to my own chest, âNo, you wonât.â
My eyes fill with tears as he backs me into a corner. When I see blood stain his cardigan, I immediately drop the poker, instead dashing to the side, hoping to make it to my door. But I never even make it close as Ren easily intercepts me, pulling my back flush against his chest as his arms restrain mine.
He murmurs apologies in my ear as he keeps me from moving with just one arm and grabs something from his bag with another. To my horror, he puts a mask over my nose and mouth, the same used to deliver nitrous oxide during surgery. But Iâd had laughing gas before, and that was not whatever sweet-smelling gas was flowing through this. I try to question him, fighting twice as hard to free my face, but there was nowhere to go.
I vaguely hear his broken voice as I rapidly lose consciousness, âIâm so sorry Angel, I didnât want it to be this way. Itâs sevoflurane and nitrous oxide, itâs the safest option I could find, Iâm sorry. I promise youâll be okay, Iâd never hurt youâŚâ
So cool!!!!

Whumpee woke slowly, their face aching from where Whumper had struck them. Their heart started racing. They tugged uselessly at the bindings. Hot tears leaked down their cheeks.Â
âMy Whumpee! Youâre awake. Excellent.â Whumperâs footsteps stopped short of the edge of Whumpeeâs bed. Whumpee could hear them, but not see them. âIâm thinking of trying something fun today!â Whumpee felt the bed shift. âItâll be fun for all three of us.â Whumper remained out of sight.Â
âFun? How is this fun? Iâm tied down. And not in the fun kind of way. Drugged, bound, and with you.â
âCome on, Whumpee, you like me.â There was an edge to Whumperâs voice.
âYouâre right. Iâm sorry, Whumper.â Whumpee swallowed and closed their eyes.Â
âKeep your eyes open. Youâre going to do as youâre told, Whumpee. From now on. And I wonât turn my attention to Teammate. You are mine. Mine. Do you hear me?â
âIâm not fucking yours.â The words tumbled out of Whumpeeâs mouth before they could stop themselves. Before they could help and save themselves.
Whumper was in front of them again, slapping their face. âYou are mine. And you will say that. Each time. Or I will do what I want with Teammate, and you will not like that. Are we clear, Whumpee?â
âFuck you,â Whumpee spat in Whumperâs face.Â
Dark eyes frowned down at Whumpee. âI did try to warn you. I know you arenât stupid. Such fighting spirit. But you will come around, my Whumpee. And you will be mine. Always and forever.â Whumper lifted Whumpee roughly. Whumpee fought against Whumper weakly, the drugs still in their system. Whumper flipped Whumpee over so they could face the bound, gagged, and unconscious Teammate.Â
âNow you have to watch me give Teammate the attention that I would have given you if youâd just complied.â
âNo, no, no, wait. Wait! Whumper, wait!. Iâll be yours. Wait. Yours, right, thatâs what you want to hear?â Whumpee desperately tried to get Whumperâs attention.Â
âNo, my Whumpee, thatâs not how this works. I know you are trying to trick me,â Whumper wagged a long finger in Whumpeeâs face. âYou have to be punished for your disobedience. One day youâll learn. And we have all the time in the world.â Whumper turned their loving gaze back to Teammate. âYou know, teamwork makes the dream work.â Dark eyes glinted up at Whumpee.Â
Whumpee jolted awake. It was dim in the room, the light coming from just beyond the door. Their nightmares had been getting progressively worse. The memories of what had happened infiltrating even moment of their waking and nonwaking hours.Â
Caretaker walked in quietly. âWhumpee, youâre awake. Are you hungry?â
âNo, thank you Caretaker. How long was I out for?â
âAbout six hours. You needed it, Whumpee. Youâve been fighting sleep for weeks.â
âCanât sleep. Whumperâs there. Every time I close my eyes. Itâs Whumper.â
Caretaker sat down on the edge of the bed. They held open their arms for Whumpee. âIâm here, Whumpee. And Whumperâs not. Youâre safe.â
Whumpee bridged the gap between them, clutching at Caretakerâs shirt. Their tears were already flowing. They knew that. But it didnât change the memories. It didnât change that they relived every moment with Whumper every time they close their eyes.Â

Wait, does that mean that. That when you ripped off my nails o-on camera, it wasn't so you could⌠so you could rewatch the recording and enjoy my pathetic crying and wailing? O-oh⌠I seeâŚ
I⌠I guess that does make more sense. I mean, who would⌠who would want to record something like that for their own sick pleasure, right?
Hiiâ I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you! Of course it'sâof course it's fine if you want to record something like that for yourself! Someone like me has no right to comâ
Ah, a jokeâŚ
Of course I'm relieved. I'm justâŚ
âŚ
I'm not used to you not digging your nails into my cheeks every time I dare look away from youâŚ
And, um, well. This doesn't. It doesn't feel real, you know? It's been five months since you, uh, p-placed me in⌠well, kidnapped me. B-being free again sound so⌠surrealâŚ
This isn't⌠some sick joke, right? It's really not? You promise?
I-I'm glad. âŚThank you.
âŚHuh? There's something seriously wrong with me if I thank you after everything you've done to me? W-well! You know!
âŚI don't sound very thankful? That's, umâŚ
âŚ
âŚDo you want me to get knees and kiss your shoes? You'd need to unbind me for that thâNo! Of course I'm kidding! I'mâ
O-oh, you're really⌠you're really doing it, you're really unbinding me. I, wowâŚ
You must really trust meâŚ
W-well, yeah, of course the handcuffs were really uncomfortable. You only ever let me out of them when you were, were t-tortu⌠I can't say it.
The⌠huh? No, rubbing them this harshly won't just make the scarring worse, l-like you're, um, saying. W-wait, please don't throâow!
Oh, this is⌠disinfectantâŚ
Um, well, for all I know you could've put some cleaning product in here like the last time you⌠Even if you're insisting it safe because the ran⌠Right, the ransom got paid. I'm free nowâŚ
N-no! I'll use it, I'll use it! You're way too close!
Even if you put something else in here again, or it's really disinfectant and you're going to beat me again for using it because this really is just your idea of entertainment⌠I'll use it. You did give it to me, after all.
âŚOnly on my wrists? Okay, only on my wristsâŚ
âŚ
So, uh, when's the exchange date? Or time? You're not usually this chatty. Normally you just dump food on the floor in front of me, or whip out the camera and then, wellâŚ
âŚToday? In⌠in a couple of hours? Oh⌠you're really early then?
You want me to⌠you want me to get cleaned up first? Y-you mean, in your bathroom? I'll get to⌠use your products? R-really?
Yeah, I'm⌠really happy to be clean again⌠I seem happier now than when you told me I'm to be free?
Well, it's just. It's just sinking in that this is for real nowâŚ
And the drive should be pretty far away from⌠I mean, what would I know. I was out cold for that. I just assumed⌠It would be kind of stupid to kidnap and hold someone close to where they live, right? You'd want to be a distance away and not get caught⌠right?
OW!
Ow, that really hurt! You didn't need to twist my arm like thâow! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I wasn't calling you stupid, I was complimenting yâah!
You're pulling⌠holy shit, you're pulling my hair really hard. I won't run, so you don't have toâhng! I'mâI'm sorry, I didn't mean to backtalk.
âŚI knew it.
You said, earlier, earlier you said you weren't that cruel, but you really do enjoy my teaâI mean, you really do enjoy hurting me.
Ah! Don't shove me that hard, youâ
Because we've⌠arrived? At theâwait, wait, wait but you said that was still a couple hours away? Youâoh, your⌠your bathroomâŚ
Y-yeah, of course I knew that. I was justâŚ
âŚ
The bath looks really warm⌠Is it really okay for me toâI should just get in already and stop wasting your time? Y-yeah, um⌠sorryâŚ
âH!
You made this scalding hot on purpose, didn't you?
N-no, I'm not complaining. I'll take it, I'll take it⌠This is better than no bath, s-soâŚ
âŚI should put my hands out? OkayâŚ
Is this yourâyour bath soap?
âŚ
âŚI'm! It just feels really nice to smell something so mundane againâŚ
No, wait, wait, I'll use it! I'll stop wasting your time, please don't take it away!
âŚI should⌠I should be thankful because I finally get to clean myself?
R-right⌠Um, t⌠thank you very muchâŚ
âH-huh? I should kiss your feet to r-really prove it l-like I offered to earlier?
That's⌠that's so⌠I'llâOkay, I'll do it..
Oh it was a, it was just a joke⌠I'm not eager! This is justâOf course you'll hurt me less if I do as you say, even if it'sâ
Even if it's something like thisâŚ
âŚ
It's⌠it's already time to get out?
Um, rightâŚ
âŚ
Actually, um, could I⌠could I stay a couple more minutes? I just⌠This is my first bath in so long, I don't want it to endâŚ
OW! You really don't have to pull on my hair every time Iâow! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please don'tâ
Wh⌠what are you⌠doing with those scissors?
If I⌠if I misbehave again you're going to⌠No, no, nonono I'm sorry! Please, please, don'tâI'll behave, just don'tâPlease! I'm really sorry, I don't, I won'tâ
AahâŚ
Okay, thank you, I'm sorry, thank youâŚ
âŚ
A-ah? Change into this? You even⌠you not only let me use your bathroom, you even got me new clothesâŚ
Y-yes! Thank you! I'm sorry! I'llâ
Eek!âI'll be quiet now. I'm sorry.
âŚ
S-stick out my hands again? OkayâŚ
âŚHandcuffs again? No, no of course I don't mind! It's okay! Please don't get madâŚ
Y-you're not? OkayâŚ
âŚI talk a lot? Um, I think⌠Maybe, I'm just kind of lonelyâŚ
You, uh, you have been my only social contact for five months nowâŚ
Or, um, roughly five months now. I'm assuming. It's kind of hard to tell how much time has passed when you've been stuck in a basement for so long.
I justâŚ
âŚ
I'm notâI'm not just stalling for time!
It's just⌠Are you, are you sure this isn't some messed up joke? You're not dangling this hope in front of me just to take it away?
This would⌠this would be a good time to reveal that.
âŚNo? My family really paid the entire amount?
âŚThey've never really⌠cared about me, so it's kind of surprising⌠Honestly, when you first mentioned it, I thought you were joking. I mean, it's true they have the moneyâŚ
I'm their son, so it's only natural? Well, yeah, I guess, butâŚ
It's⌠That's cruel of you to say. You had to have known what our relationship was like before youâŚ
âŚAnyway, this joke isn't funny anymore. Please take me back to the basement now.
âŚ
âŚIt really isn't. You've done it, you've completely dashed my hopes. I hope you're happy now. I⌠I'm never getting out of here, I know that, okay?
It's⌠really cruel of you to toy with me like that.
So just⌠just take me back.
That's what the handcuffs are for, too, right?
âŚ
âŚNo?
No, you're really just going to throw me away like this?
Actually, I⌠when you approached me that night and told me to get into your car or else, I didn't know what to do. It made me so, so happy when I realised you must've planned this months in advance.
To think you were spending that much time thinking about meâŚ
I was so, so certain you were finally getting revenge on meâŚ
âŚYeah. I thought⌠I'd been stalking you for two years, and even before thatâso I thought⌠I thought that you'd taken me home to put me in my place, to teach me a lesson.
The last couple of months have been the happiest in my life. It's like⌠I was in heaven.
I mean, getting tortured in real life is a totally different ballpark than fantasising about it, that's true, but! But! Even if it was just painful, I wouldn't mind, because it's you! I could never hate or dislike anything you do to me!
You're backing away, but I promise you don't have anything to fear! Even if you go through on your promise, I don't mind! I won't struggle.
I belong to you, so anything you do is justified! You have that right!
But seeing your expression, you really didn't know about any of thatâŚ
I thoughtâI thought!
I thought maybe for once I was something special to someone, even if you did just hate me! I thought that with hard work and a lot of time, maybe I could be someone special to you in more ways than just the toy you keep in your basement!
I thought thatâŚ
âŚI guess it makes sense that you just remembered me as that rich loser you shared a class with once. But IâŚ
âŚ
âŚWhy don't you just keep me in your basement again?
You wouldn't even need to keep me in handcuffs; I'd never run away! Orâor, of course, you could keep me bound the entire time, if that would make you feel more at ease!
You can⌠you can keep doing whatever you want to me! At any time! I won't struggle anymore! I'll cry and look cute and pitiful and pretty and whatever else you want me to!
You don't need to feed me regularly, or at all, orâPlease don't back awayâŚ
I actually⌠I actually really like it when you pull on my hair!
I⌠I really love looking at my reflection in the mirror you left up in the basement, because I get to see the permanent marks you left on my face, like when you broke my nose three weeks into being home with you!
My favourite is probably when you coo at me and call me cute and condescendingly wipe away my tearsâit always seemed to please you when I cried even harder⌠Even ifâeven if that was just an act, you seemed to be having fun!
Andâand you really liked forcing me to look directly into the camera and.. and making me degrade myself, and repeat all those embarrassing lines, andâ
What about that time you suggested getting me a shock collar? Or, or what about all those times you threatened to carve your name into my skin so I'd be ruined for everyone who came after you? You were joking but, but you seemed really into the idea! We could do that!
Am I talking too much again? You can tape up my mouth if you want, or break my arm for scaring you, or for being so arrogant, orâ
Don't youâdon't you want that to continue?
Nothing has to change!
Just throw me into that chair and lock the door and don't give me anything to eat for a week in punishment and raise my price and things can go back to the way they were! Or however way you want them to be!
AckâY-you're really pulling again, I can feel your nails really digging into my scalpâNo, that's not a complaint!
I'll be good! I'll do anything! Anythingâjust please, please, pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease don't throw me away!
Plâ
âŚReally?
You'll do it? You will?
Thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you thankyouthankyouthankâ
Mgh! I'm sorry, I'll be quiet now.
âŚDo you⌠do you want me to kiss your feet? Hehe, of course I'd be happy tâ
Nngh! You're pulling my hair really hardâŚ
You should⌠you should lead me around your house more like this. I have to bend at such an awkward angle when you pull like thisâŚ
Ah! Right, sorry, I'm sorry, I'll be good.
âŚ
âŚUm.
We⌠just passed the basement?
âŚ
âŚWhy are you⌠unlocking the front door?
âŚHey?
âŚ
âŚUm, um that's theâthat's your car. Why are youâ
Aah! Wait, no, even if you shove me into yourâYou're justâYou lied to me!
NoâwaitâI'm sorry, I didn't mean to get mad and accuse you of anything! Please, don't throw me away! I'll be good! I canâI can be useful!
I'm obviously already yours, but I could really bâ
Stop, wait, don't close the car door! I'llâUGH!
Ow, you really⌠you really hit my stomach hardâŚ
âŚThat's what I get for not cooperating? I'm sorryâŚ
âŚ
NnghâŚ
âŚ
W-wait, don't start driving, IâowâWait! Don't you want this too?
I know it wasn't just my imagination! Youâhngâyou enjoyed this too, didn't you? You insist you're not like that, but you actually really like having someone at your mercy, d-don't you?
I can be that for you! You don'tâyou don't have to do this! I'd be really happy like this, so won't it work out for both of us if youâ
You can, you can, keep extorting my parents for larger and larger sums of money! I know they've set aside a fund for my inheritanceâeven if it's smaller than my brothers', it's still enough for you to live a comfortable life! And then I can stay with you forever, soâŚ
Aren't I talking too much again? Aren't you⌠going to punish me for this? I know you want to.
So won't youâAhh, you really kicked me hardâWon't you please reconâŚ
âŚWhy are you stopping? Y-yeah, this place is pretty remote, but we're in the middle of the road⌠W-wouldn't it be better to turn arouâ
Wait, no, nononononononono please don't bring out the chloroform, wait, please, don't throw me away like this, I can be good, wait wait no wait, pleaseâ
Please don't leave me like this!
