Chapter 60: Desperate Pleas
Part 59
Tears streamed down my face as I realized the gravity of my situation. I was trapped, at the mercy of these monsters, and Oboro's fate was uncertain. I felt a sob rising in my throat as I thought about the worst-case scenario. "Oboro...where are you?" I whispered, my voice shaking with fear. I looked around the room, hoping against hope that he would magically appear, but he was nowhere to be seen. In my mind, I pleaded desperately, "Tell me, is he okay? Let me see him, please." I wanted to know that he was safe, that he was alive. The not knowing was eating away at me, making my anxiety worse. Toga's eyes seemed to gleam with excitement as she approached me. I tried to shrink away, but my back was against the wall. I felt a cold sweat break out on my forehead as she loomed over me. Dabi and Tomura watched the scene unfold with interest, their expressions unreadable. I wished I could appeal to whatever humanity was left in Dabi, but his face was a mask. "Please," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "You have to tell me. Is Oboro okay?" Toga's smile grew wider, and she reached out a hand to touch my face. I flinched, expecting pain or worse, but instead, she gently wiped away my tears. "Don't cry, dear," she said, her voice dripping with condescension. "You'll get your chance to see Oboro soon enough." I shook my head, trying to clear the cobwebs. What did she mean? Was Oboro okay? Was he being held somewhere, waiting for...for what? The uncertainty was killing me. I felt like I was going to lose my mind if I didn't get some answers soon. Tomura leaned forward, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You see, we have a little show planned, and you, my dear, are the star of the show." I swallowed hard, my heart racing with fear. What kind of show could they possibly have in mind? And what role was I supposed to play? The thought sent a chill down my spine, and I felt another sob rising in my throat. I was trapped, and I had no idea what was going to happen next. All I could do was pray that Oboro was safe, and that I would see him soon.
