A dramatic hallway scene inside a luxurious club shows three characters in a tense confrontation. On the left is Jens Duplantier, a tall young Aegis security guard in his dress uniform and face mask, forcefully grabs the wrist of the older Anatoly Makarov (inspired by my good friend @Nottasty), a director of the club and one of Jens bosses. Jens stands firm and composed, his posture protective and unyielding as he stops Anatoly mid-action. Anatoly, caught off guard, recoils in pain and anger, his expression twisted with shock and wounded ego as his authority is challenged by Jens. On the right is Luna Woods AKA Velvet, a young pink-haired courtesan in a red-black lingerie-style uniform, backed against a wall with her arms pinned and raised by Anatoly. At first, she was afraid of Anatoly for his unfairness and desire to discipline. Her expression is not just fear, but distress and inner conflict. She looks toward Jens with worry, afraid he will face consequences for defying a superior to save her. This moment occurs after Velvet fell behind schedule while preparing for her shift. The other courtesans were escorted ahead, leaving her briefly alone. Anatoly intercepted her in the hallway like a predator under the pretense of an inspection, using her lateness as justification to assert control and punish her. Jens returned in the nick of time to find her and stop Anatoly, choosing to follow a higher directive to protect the courtesans, even if it meant defying Anatoly’s authority. She blames herself for being late to her work, believing she caused the situation. The lighting casts a dramatic diagonal glow across the scene, emphasizing the clash. Behind Velvet is a framed classical-style painting depicting a romantic rescue, subtly contrasting the harsh reality unfolding in front of it.

Puppy

“Get your hands off her.”

“Jens, no! You'll get in trouble! It’s my fault, I-!”

“YOU DARE?! I AM A DIRECTOR, AND THIS WHORE SHALL BE DISCIPL-AAH, IT HURTS!”

“This lady…is under my protection by the Hawkin’s orders. You will do well to remember your place, Jackal.”

A digital illustration set in a rehabilitation gym shows three characters helping a woman relearn how to walk. At the center is Orchid, a pale-skinned woman with long brown hair, dressed in a light blue outfit. She stands unsteadily on a red walking mat, gripping a set of parallel rails with visible strain in her posture. Her body leans forward as she carefully tries to take a step, conveying both physical effort and emotional determination. Behind her stands Varg, a tall, muscular man with short green/blonde hair and visible scars across his body. He stays close, ready to support her if she falls, his presence steady and protective. In front of Orchid is Roulette, a woman with white hair wearing a green top. She stands near the rails, watching Orchid closely with a serious, focused expression, offering firm guidance rather than comfort. The environment combines gym and medical elements. The wall behind them is a warm brown tone covered in faded motivational quotes, reinforcing a sense of discipline and perseverance. The rails and equipment are cool blue, giving a clinical, rehabilitative feel. Light from a nearby window softly illuminates the scene, adding warmth and hope. The overall composition emphasizes the contrast between support and challenge, showing Orchid caught between encouragement and pressure as she struggles to stand and move forward on her own.

Learning to Stand Again

"Is that the best you can do, Orchid? If all you do is rely on us, you will always be carried."

"I...I know. I'm...not stopping."

"That's the spirit, my lady. They’re going to be so happy seeing you walk again."

A split-screen illustration shows two siblings in a tense phone conversation at night. On the left stands Cedric Hawkins, a tall, confident young man wearing an open red dress shirt that exposes part of his chest. His dark hair features a red streak, a distinctive Hawkins family trait. He holds a phone to his ear with a smug, taunting expression. The background behind him is washed in deep red tones, with a glowing city skyline visible through tall windows, giving his side of the scene a heated, aggressive atmosphere. On the right is Chelsea Hawkins, dressed in a fitted red top and black skirt, standing in a sleek glass office high above the city. Her black hair also carries a red streak, matching Cedric’s. She holds her phone calmly to her ear, her expression composed but cold. The lighting on her side is cooler, tinted blue from the city lights outside her tower windows, creating a sharp contrast with Cedric’s red environment. Both siblings share similar hand gestures and posture, visually mirroring one another despite their physical separation. Their matching red clothing and hair accents subtly emphasize their blood relation, while the opposing lighting and background colors reinforce their ideological divide. Cedric’s side feels fiery and impulsive; Chelsea’s side feels controlled and calculating. The composition highlights their rivalry—two heirs of the same powerful crime dynasty, divided by philosophy and ambition. Though separated by distance, they stand elevated above the same city, symbolizing their shared legacy and ongoing power struggle.

Sibling Rivalry

“Hello, Chelsea! Still alive? Still pretending you can save those girls?”

“…What do you want, Cedric?”

“Aww, big sis~. Is that how you greet your brother? The heir to the Hawkins name?”

“You're no brother of mine, not after what you've done.”

A full-body illustration of a young man (Jens Duplantier) standing alone against a dense wall of overlapping text. He is tall and lean, with short red hair and yellow eyes, wearing a black suit jacket, dress shirt, tie, and pants. He holds a supressed beretta pistol loosely at his side, his posture stiff and disciplined, as if awaiting orders rather than acting on his own will. His expression is stoic but uneasy, with subtle tension in his shoulders and jaw. Behind him, the entire background is filled with fragmented white text layered over red dialogue, creating a chaotic, unreadable visual noise. The text appears to represent voices or directives pressing in on him, partially obscured and difficult to focus on, giving the impression of mental overwhelm and loss of clarity. The words do not form a single readable conversation; instead blending into an oppressive backdrop that dominates the space. The overall tone is dark and psychological, emphasizing control, indoctrination, and isolation. The character appears small and powerless against the scale of the system implied by the text behind him, reinforcing the idea of a mind under constant authority rather than a person acting freely.

A Mind Under Jurisdiction

Many boys learn to seek love through usefulness.

Jens learned too late what the system does with that devotion.

Instead, he was repurposed by them, left with a mind unable to think, to live. to love.
