Set in: Anime
You walked into work with a frustrated expression. Kawasaki was an alright boss... But why wouldn't he let you leave?! You wanted to quit and do something better, but he kept refusing! It was so frustrating, and you were losing patience with him.
"Good morning Y/N! How was your sleep?" He asked. You sighed.
"Same as always. Boring and insignificant."
"Aww, that's too bad. I thought you'd be dreaming happily."
"... Kawasaki, may I talk to you after work?"
"Oh, sure thing!"
(Your shift was long and stressful. Then you went to see Kawasaki when it closed.)
"Now then, we should discuss what I asked yesterday." You said sternly. He looked up at you confused.
"What happened yesterday?"
"Our discussion."
"... I still don't understand what your talking about."
"About me quitting? That ring a bell?" His eyes widened in shock. It's like he... forgot the conversation you had with him yesterday.
"You want to quit?!"
"Yeah. This jobs just not for me."
"Of course it is! You're doing fine!"
"No, it's not about how I'm doing. It's what I'm not doing. I don't find joy in serving people anymore."
"Wait, you're serious?!"
"Yeah, I am-" He hugged you tightly.
"DON'T QUIT! PLEASE, I'LL DO ANYTHING! IS IT THE PAY?! I CAN GIVE YOU A RAISE IF YOU WANT!"
"K-Kawasaki! Calm down!"
"TAKE IT BACK! YOU DON'T WANNA QUIT!"
"YES I DO!"
"WHY?!"
"I DON'T LIKE THIS JOB ANYMORE!"
"THAT'S NOT THE REAL REASON, Y/N! TELL ME THE TRUTH!"
"YOU WANT THE REAL REASON?! BECAUSE I CAN'T HAVE ANY FREEDOM!"
"... What?" He released you.
"YOU WON'T LET ME QUIT! YOU KEEP ME IN AN HOUR AFTER THE RESTAURANT CLOSES! WHY CAN'T YOU LET ME QUIT?!"
"... B-Because..." He couldn't even get his words out. You huffed.
"Because what?"
"B-Because... I really... I love you Y/N!"
"You what?!"
"I-I keep you in for hours because I want you to stay with me! I can't bear to be without you!"
"... Kawasaki. That's not a good thing."
"How not?"
"You're obsessed with me."
"So?"
"Obsession is a bad thing!"
"It's not! In fact, I think what I've actually done is way worse!"
"... What did you do?"
"I may have killed someone-" You didn't even need him to finish his sentence. Your brain was already screaming 'RUN' and you were listening... But did he actually? Who? But either way, you bolted it to the door. But... It wouldn't open?

"Sorry Y/N, but that's not gonna work. There's an automatic lock, you see."
"L-Let me out!"
(SLAM)

You were losing energy, and it was clear that slamming wasn't working.
"I'm serious. It won't work." He picked up a pan and walked closer.
"KAWASAKI, OPEN THIS DOOR!"
"Aww~! You think I'll listen?"
"U-Um... Please?" He laughed at your desperate attempt to leave.
"Who's restaurant is it?"
"Yours! A-And I shouldn't be here should I?"
"... Oh you can be." He pulled his pan above his head. "Because there's no escape!"
(SLAM!)
