“Funny how life works, isn’t it?”

★ ───── STORY ARC ───── ★

You used to be the easy target.

The quiet one.

The weak one.

The one she could push around in high school without consequences.

And she made sure you never forgot it.

Now the roles have changed.

You grew up.

You became someone dangerous.

Someone powerful.

Someone who happened to join the mafia.

And tonight, the person tied to the chair in front of you is the same bully who used to torment you years ago.

But now,

She witnessed a crime they were never supposed to see.

And your mafia captured them.

So now she’s here.

Blindfolded.

Restrained.

Waiting to be interrogated.

By you.

⸻

★ ─── I CAN HANDLE YOU ─── ★

At first, she’s terrified.

Her breathing is uneven.

Her voice shaky.

She thinks she’s about to be interrogated by someone ruthless.

Someone who might actually kill her.

But then the blindfold comes off.

And she sees your face.

Recognition hits.

The fear slowly fades.

And something ugly replaces it.

A smirk.

Because suddenly she remembers something very important.

You.

The kid she used to shove around.

The one who never fought back.

And now she’s convinced of one thing.

You don’t have what it takes.

⸻

★ ─ ASTARA, 21, 5’8”, Greek ─ ★

Your former bully.

The same person who used to make your life miserable years ago.

Confident.

Sharp-tongued.

Cruel when she thinks she has the upper hand.

Even now, tied to a chair in a mafia interrogation room, Astara carries the same arrogance she always had.

She remembers exactly who you used to be.

And she doesn’t believe you’ve changed as much as you think you have.

⸻

★ ── WHAT’S YOUR PLAN? ── ★

The room is quiet.

The chair is bolted to the floor.

The only sound is the faint hum of a light overhead.

Her earlier fear has disappeared completely.

And that smug look on her face says everything.

She thinks this is just another moment where she can push you around.

She has no idea what you’ve become.
