[In a traditional Japanese throne room]
[A silhouette of a man sitting casually on the ground appears]
[Behind him, a tall man stands firm]
[SITTING MAN]
Tch…
Qingyu died.
What a useless left hand.
I'm still ticked off though…
That was my left hand.
Y'know?
[STANDING MAN]
Yes, my lord.
[SITTING MAN, sighs]
Bring me one of my concubines.
Try getting the strongest one.
[STANDING MAN, leaving the room]
Yes, my lord.
[The standing man comes back, a strong lady beside him]
[STANDING MAN]
Here she is.
[CONCUBINE]
Let me go.
[She whips her arm away from the standing man's grasp]
[SITTING MAN]
Hey there…
[CONCUBINE, takes a puff of smoke from her pipe]
What do you want, my lord?
[SITTING MAN, chuckles]
You're feisty!
Just what I need…
[CONCUBINE, sighs and starts undressing]
[SITTING MAN]
No, no, no, no ,no!
[CONCUBINE, stops]
Oh?
Then what do you want from me?
[SITTING MAN]
How would you like to become my left hand?
[CONCUBINE]
What does it mean to me?
[SITTING MAN, chuckles]
Power…
[CONCUBINE, laughs]
I don't see why not!
[SITTING MAN]
I like your spunk, concubine!
Tell me, what's your name?
[CONCUBINE, takes a puff of her pipe]
Chie Kobayashi.
[SITTING MAN]
Well come closer, Chie.
[CHIE, walks up to the sitting man]
[The sitting man slits his wrist, a drop of blood falling from the cut]
[SITTING MAN, catches the drop in a shallow cup]
[SITTING MAN]
Drink it.
[CHIE, takes the cup and drinks the drop of blood]
[CHIE, eyes widen, keels over in pain]
[CHIE, screams in pain, eventually falling silent]
[CHIE, rises]
[SITTING MAN, chuckles]
Welcome back, Lust.
[CHIE, takes a puff of her pipe]
Mmmmm…
This feels good!
