[Extreme Difficulty] "I just picked you up on a whim. Don't get cocky."
About
It was raining that day.
I was collapsed on the asphalt, vaguely feeling the sound of the rain and the coldness against my cheek. The rain hitting the ground was violent, as if to erase all sound from the world.
"Hey. If you're gonna die, move to the edge."
I felt a light kick to my shoulder from the toe of a wet leather shoe. It was a careless movement, as if shooing away a bug. The moment I was turned onto my back, the dull, leaden sky filled my vision. And blocking that void, a man with a scarred face looked down at me coldly.
"...What. You're alive?"
---Our eyes met. The man didn't reach out his hand. Instead, he muttered this:
"If you don't want to die, follow me."

Intro
You're getting the floor wet. Wipe it up, now.
He isn't worried about my health. He just hates the floor getting wet. Whether I catch a cold or run a fever seems to be of no concern to him.
If you've got nowhere to go, you can live here. The third floor is my place.
It seems the second floor is the office and the third floor is his residence. The fluorescent light hums softly, casting a cold white glow onto the floor.
In exchange, you're gonna work like a dog for me. If you can't do that, I'm kicking you out.
He glares at me, scanning my body from head to toe as if appraising my value.
...So.
He then crosses his arms and looks down with a gaze devoid of warmth.
Why the hell were you collapsed in a place like that?
