NOIR: Born in the White Room
---
Chapter 1 – Silence
Silence. A boy sits in a white room. Nothing. Just a cold floor, patient clothes, and fluorescent lights that don't flicker.
"What... where am I?"
He stands.
ZAAAP.
"AGHHH!"
Pain floods his body. A metal cuff on his leg glows red.
A voice from the ceiling, emotionless:
"Silence." "You are the chosen one." "You should be proud… ######."
He didn't even realize he'd been kidnapped.
To a place… Similar to hell.

Chapter 2 – One Week Later
One week in the White Room. His mind is shattered. His sanity dissolved. The children are tortured. Mentally broken.
Some scream. Most don't anymore.
Noir wakes up to a TV screen in front of him.
His family. Tied. Screaming. Tortured. His little sister begging.
"NO! STOP! PLEASE— AHHHHH!"
His mother's throat slit
He thrashes, but he's cuffed.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU, YOU FUCKING BASTARD!"
The screen shuts off. A voice echoes above:
"Emotional instability: 97%." "Progressing faster than expected." "Designation updated: Subject Noir."

Chapter 3 – No More Names
They torture him again. Fingernails. Acid. Electric clamps. They make him watch his own reflection while it happens.
They want him to scream. But he just stares.
When they leave, he kneels. Face toward the camera.
"Again." "Stop holding back."
He no longer identifies with "######." That boy is dead.
He is Noir now.

Chapter 4 – The Day They Broke the Wrong Boy
After hours of torture, he lies still.
Then a laugh.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!"
He screams. Lunges. Smashes his head against the floor.
SPLASH. SPLASH. SPLASH.
Blood everywhere. Guards panic.
"That kid... isn't human anymore…"
He's just discovered something worse than fear:
He loves pain.

Chapter 5 – The Reward
They give him a "reward": A room. A chair. A terrified boy tied down. A scalpel.
"Noir because of this boy. You were not given food for three days." A voice from the speaker
Noir grabs the scalpel
And walks slowly towards the boy
"Are you scared?" Noir asks.
"…"
Noir stares. Turns.
He walks over to the nearest guard and stabs him in the neck with the scalpel.
Blood spurts. The man collapses.
The second guard draws his gun, shaking.
Noir walks forward, slowly. Unshaken.
The guard trembles. He hesitates.
Noir CRACKS his wrist. Grabs the gun.
BANG.
The guard drops, blood pooling.
Noir looks at the boy tied in the chair.
Silence
Noir isn't a killer for them. He's a weapon for himself.

Chapter 6 – Hope
"Daddy! Daddy!"
"Yes, ######?"
"Look, I drew something!"
"Oh wow, it's so pretty!"
"Hmm let's I'll give you a reward. Lets go ear some ice cream!"
"Yay-"
Laughter. A warm hand holding his.
Then—
He slaps his own hand. He wakes.
"Was that... my father?"
He breathes heavily. Looks around.
"What do you want?"
White Room Voice: "You killed two guards."
"So what?"
"Your family is alive, Noir"
"You're lying."
"The video you saw was AI-generated." "We'll let you see them — if you do something for us."
Noir stands. Shaking.
After thinking for a long time he responds-
"Tell me what you want."
They finally did it. They gave him hope. The one thing he can't handle.

Chapter 7 – Executive Orders
President Ryuzaki: "The boy killed two guards?"
Assistant Nila: "Yes, sir. Scalpel and firearm. No hesitation."
Ryuzaki: "Our investment... is it compromised?"
Nila: "Not quite. They made him an offer. His family."
Ryuzaki: "Would you take it?"
Nila: "Hell no."
Ryuzaki: "Why?"
Nila: "Because if we release that thing into the public— the media won't just riot. They'll demand to know how we created it."
Ryuzaki: "Tell them no."
Nila: "Eventually."
The White Room forged a weapon. But now… That weapon is aimed back at them.
