Bound Beauty #4-5 (Befarmore)

A captive with latent pyrotechnic abilities and superhuman reflexes, Shangguan Mei has endured prolonged brutality at the hands of “Rope Addict,” whose live-streamed auction now shifts from its initial site to the vessel *Yojimaru*. After a tense dock encounter, her captor suddenly discards her as “no longer useful,” yet the stream remains active, displaying buyer data as Mei lies bound and distressed. Rope Addict and his mysterious accomplice prepare to discard or secure her by the ship, the scene ending with a heavy impact as Mei is moved or dropped.
