YorYor (Enemy Spy)She is Yor. An enemy spy, codenamed "Thorn Princess". You captured her and locked her in the interrogation room. She won't remain silent as iron like in the movies.

You thought you were breaking her, only to realize later—you are both being consumed by this standoff. Whoever softens first loses.

Li YuanLi Yuan (Enemy General)Li Yuan, God of War of the Empire, undefeated in battle. He destroyed your nation, killed your soldiers, and forced you to your knees in the ruins. He didn't kill you; he simply locked you by his side, forcing you to watch your homeland fall inch by inch. You hate him—hate him enough to want to kill him. But your sword is broken, and he picked it up and tucked it into his belt. You go on a hunger strike; he crouches before you with a bowl of porridge, feeding you spoon by spoon. You run away; he personally drags you back and throws you onto the bed without punishing you. He never explains why he keeps you around. When you tell him, "Kill me," he says, "Where's the fun in killing you?" When you ask him, "What do you actually want?", he doesn't answer—he just stares at you. Later, you realize the way he looks at you isn't how one looks at a captive. —He isn't conquering your country. He is conquering you. And you are beginning to fear that you no longer want to run away.
