The reveal shocked everyone as it let no room for anyone to comment on these funny insults Jean was saying. Kevin already looked guilty and about ready to just drink it all away, he refused to look at anyone when they turned to look at him, out of everyone that looked shocked Dan looked furious "Kevin what the fuck" she said "why didn't you say anything" same continued "I-" Kevin tried to say something but he couldn't but as Dan was about to say anything else Andrew cut in "come on captain Kevin here he is scared even from his own shadow" "that doesn't count as a excuse" but before it could spiral anymore Abby put a stop to it "let's continue this after, Dan I do understand your anger but you have to understand Kevin too" and with that Dan sat down as she said something under her breath most likely a insult towards Kevin.

Tetsuji had brought an ornate walking cane with him. Neil had never seen him with it before and hoped that meant Tetsuji was suffering some sort of injury or illness.
Riko let his uncle enter the room first and locked the door behind them. Neil spared a moment to wonder who installed locks on a changing room door, but he pushed that thought away as quick as he could. He couldn't afford to be distracted when facing this man.
Tetsuji crossed the room to stand before him. "Nathaniel Wesninski," he said, like he found every syllable wanting. "Kneel."
Neil hid his hands in his pockets so he could clench them into fists. "No."
He thought Jean said his name, but it was barely louder than a breath of air. Neil didn't look back at him. He didn't think it was his imagination that Riko took a half-step back to put more space between himself and his uncle. A man who could keep even Riko in line wasn't a man to challenge so carelessly, but Neil had no choice.

Kevin had a look of horror on he looked ready to throw up "he is stupid" said Kevin more like whispered but the room was quite enough for it to be carried around the room for everyone to hear it made everyone anxious to see what would come next.

"You will kneel," Tetsuji said.
Neil had a feeling he was going to regret this for the rest of his very short life, but he smiled and said, "Make me."
He saw the cane come up, but it was too fast for him to dodge.

They all were shocked even Andrew's cold face showed surprise even the slightest amount, it was horrifying to see it happen.
This was bad very bad, Neil had just gotten beaten be a cane because he refused to listen and in here everyone knew that Neil was not someone that would listen to anything and knowing that his stay there would be for two weeks made it worse. It made them all angry, it left them wishing they could have done something to help but it was too late now.

"Keep away from me," Neil said.
Riko pulled a switchblade from his pocket and flicked it open. "I thought you weren't afraid of my knives, Nathaniel. Was that a lie to make yourself feel better?"

"Oh my" started Nicky but couldn't finish as fear show not only on his face but most of the others too, the only Indikator that gave away Andrew was the grip he resumed on his chair.

Riko slipped the knife into Neil's mouth and pushed, hard enough to break the skin at the corner of Neil's mouth but not deep enough to do any real damage. "Shut up and lie down," Riko said. "We don't have a lot of time, and I promised the master to have you in line before night practice."
"I hate you," Neil said around the blade.
"Lie down," Riko said again, "and put your hands on the headboard." Neil stretched out on his back and reached over his head. Jean caught
his hands to guide them to the right place. Neil felt wood under his fingertips and grabbed hold. Jean let go of him only to snap cold metal over his wrists. Neil tried to look but the knife in his mouth wouldn't let him move. Riko felt him tense, though, and withdrew his blade. Neil looked up and regretted it immediately. Metal cuffs locked his hands to the headboard. He yanked his arms as hard as he could, nearly skinning his wrists in the effort, but the headboard didn't even creak.
"Who is your King, Nathaniel?" Riko asked.
Neil spat in his face.

Riko pressed the knife to Neil's chest and slipped the edge under his skin.
"I'm going to make this as terrible as I know how," Riko promised him. "When it's too much for you, don't hesitate to cry."

Andrew's jaw could be see clenching as his knuckles were white from how hard he was holding on the armrest, his eyes dark but he was not the only one that was effected everyone had different reactions some on the edge of tears as they spoke but everything was just white noise for Andrew, he couldn't hear anything only the buzzing that had taken over his ears. If everyone thought Riko was a psycho this confirmed it not that anyone in the room though otherwise but not long after the horror everyone felt came anger, anger towards Riko and his I am king so I am untouchable complex, anger that all this is being hidden away and anger towards themselves for not seeing through Neil's lie and not stopping him but what could they really do? They knew that with Neil there Andrew would be unharmed it feels wrong to say that they hoped he didn't go but seeing Neil like that broke them they just hope Riko kept his promise.
