lan stepped closer, only to notice a red light blinking on the anklet strapped to Cynthia's leg.

He tugged at the device, and a man's voice emerged from within.

"Cynthia, you trying to make a run for it again?"

"Why the urge to flee, why so disobedient?"

"Do you really wantto break your legs?"

The man's voice, despite its softness, sent chills down lan's spine.

Cynthia, now deaf to the world, seemed to sense the anklet's alarm.

She desperately tried to rip the device off her ankle to no avail.

"Fuck off!"

"Fuck off!"

Her fingernails dug into her flesh, but the anklet wouldn't budge, the man's voice still echoing from it.

"Gone blind, gone deaf, do I need to render you mute too?"

"Get any closer to that door, and you'll get zapped again. Just stay put, stop struggling."
