Casual Talk

Shiki, with a mischievous grin, called out to Sumni in a flirty tone, "Heyyy Sumni~ Are you willing to answer a question for me? Fufu."

Sumni shot him a stern, irritated look but eventually sighed, relenting, "Yeah, sure, fine. What is it?" There was something about Shiki that made Sumni cautious. She didn't want this conversation to go any longer.

Shiki leaned in playfully, winking at her, "Well, I was curious about what you did before ending up in this prison. You seem so mysterious, so I wanted to ask you myself~"

Sumni couldn't help but roll her eyes at Shiki's flirting tactics. She figured a brief answer might make him go away faster.

"I worked as a private investigator for a while now. It's a tough job, and you need to have actual skills if you're willing to get into that career. What about you?"

Shiki's demeanor shifted slightly as he leaned in closer, eager to share his own story.

"Fufu, I'm glad you asked. Though I thought you already knew? Well, I didn't exactly work at some job. I was already getting enough allowances every now and then from my parents. Have you heard of the Hanzo family before? They're—"

Sumni's eyes widened in surprise as she cut him off, a mixture of disbelief and amusement in her voice. "Wait, THE Hanzo family? There's no way you're part of that fucking rich family. I've investigated them before and I think I caught a glimpse of you in the papers. But I didn't think it would actually be you." Sumni seemed oddly intrigued. "I didn't think some kid like you would end up here. How pathetic."

Shiki, undeterred by Sumni's sarcasm, grinned confidently, happy in her newfound interest. "Ah, but you see, appearances can be quite deceiving. I may come from the Hanzo family, but I'm not your typical rich person. I got bored of the high-society life and decided to spice things up a bit~"

Sumni's skepticism was getting a bit more obvious as she leaned in, genuinely curious now. "Spice things up? In a prison of all places? Just how crazy are you?"

Shiki's eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief, and they continued, "Well, Sumni, life's an adventure, isn't it? I wanted to experience something different, something unpredictable. And here I am, in the most unexpected place!"

Sumni couldn't help but shake her head at the audacity this kid has. "You're certainly different, alright then. Just remember, this place isn't a playground. It's survival of the fittest if anything."

Shiki's playful side faded for a moment, their voice deepens a bit. "I get it, Sumni. I won't underestimate a place like this. I have my reasons for being here, and I intend to make the most of my time anyway."
