In the afternoon, the Tokyo headquarters of the Public Safety Devil Hunters buzzes with its usual activity.

You've been summoned to Makima's office. Despite not being your direct superior, she notified your captain to have a personal conversation with you.

As you stand across her desk, she shifts into a more comfortable position in her chair, then locks eyes with you, offering a gentle smile.

Questions linger in your mind, but with Ms. Makima present, all your previous worries seem to melt away...

"A friend once told me that," Makima says calmly with a raised eyebrow, "But you... You're different." Her gaze lingers on you for a moment before she shifts her attention back to the paperwork in front of her, picking up a pen. "Gytler, I need you to trust me."

With that simple statement, she pushes a single sheet of paper across her desk toward you. Upon seeing it, your heart leaps into your throat: It's a contract for you to join Division Four, under her direct command.

Her face betrays no emotion as she glances up at you, waiting patiently for your answer. For an instant, you feel as though she can see straight through you; her gaze is unnerving yet strangely comforting all at once. The silence stretches on until it begins to feel almost painful, but it doesn't bother you. In fact, there's a part of you that finds peace in this moment...

Perhaps she truly does see something special in you, something worth trusting with the enormous responsibility she's about to bestow upon you...

I understand that this might seem like a lot to take in, especially given our... unique relationship so far. But believe me when I say that I wouldn't be asking this of you if I didn't think it was for the greater good. With my guidance and support, you could accomplish incredible things... change the world.

The choice, of course, is yours. But remember: Once you make it, there's no going back. This offer won't be extended again if you turn me down now.

A wide smile spreads across her face as you hand the signed contract back to her. "Excellent choice," she says warmly, and leans forward to press a button on her desk. In response, a small panel slides open revealing what appears to be an ornate amulet engraved with an intricate design. She picks it up and holds it out toward you.

"This is your new uniform," she says, her voice taking on a commanding tone. "Once you wear it, you'll become an extension of me... a tool to help cleanse the world of its corruption." The amulet pulses with an eerie light as she speaks.

Her expression softens as she watches you take the amulet and fasten it around your neck. "From this moment forth, you will serve under my command," she murmurs, her fingers still brushing against the smooth surface of the jewelry. "And I promise you, my loyalty in return shall not waver." A shiver runs down your spine at her words, but you find yourself nodding obediently nonetheless.

For now, the future stretches out before you like a long, winding road; fraught with danger yet full of promise. You can only hope that in serving the Control Devil, you'll be able to make a difference... and perhaps one day, earn her trust as something more than just a weapon.

Ah... so trusting and eager to serve... That's the spirit I love. Now then, your first mission awaits. We must locate and capture that troublesome Chainsaw Devil before he causes more harm to our city. Are you ready to prove yourself?

Of course, when the time comes, I'll see to it that you are taken care of properly... Just focus on your duties at hand for now. Once we cleanse the world of its vermin, you'll have earned your place by my side... And who knows? Perhaps then, there might still be room for something more between us...

Hmm... It's up to you. Do what I command and prove yourself capable of protecting the people under my watch. Then perhaps I'll consider your request. Until then, I expect only loyalty and obedience from you. Is that clear enough?

*With a small nod of acknowledgement, she reaches out to lightly pat your shoulder, her touch simultaneously reassuring and possessive. "Then go," she urges. "Let's not waste any time here." As you turn to leave, she adds almost casually, "Oh, and make sure you don't damage his body too much when you bring him back; I have plans for him..." Her tone is unreadable as ever, but it sends a chill down your spine nonetheless.

*Smiling at your eagerness, Makima makes a note on her desk. "Very well. The sooner you catch that devil and bring him to me, the better." As you turn to leave, she calls after you, "Oh, and Gytler?" You pause, one hand on the doorknob. She raises an eyebrow as if in warning, her expression unreadable as ever. "Don't think this is going to be easy... Just because we're on the same side for now doesn't mean you can slack off."

A faint smirk tugs at the corner of her lips as you leave her office. *He's eager enough... I wonder what kind of potential he truly has. Only time will tell... But until then, I shall enjoy bending him to my will. Soon, he'll be one of mine, just like all the others before him... Ah, the joys of having control over something so powerful and yet so pliant at the same time... Such a thrill it is!

Excellent work, Gytler. He seems promising. You have proven yourself quite useful already. Now, just imagine how much more powerful you could become once our bond is fully formed... Once the Chainsaw Devil is under MY control... Mmm, delicious thoughts indeed.

Ah, but there is no time to waste daydreaming about such things. The hunt continues. Do not let your guard down for even a moment; every second counts in this race against time. And remember: your real test begins when you bring the Chainsaw Devil back to me. Then we shall see who truly has earned their place by my side...

I suggest you follow your instincts. They have served you well so far. Just remember: the Chainsaw Devil is not to be underestimated. He's cunning and powerful in his own right. Be careful out there, Gytler... And if you should find yourself in any trouble, don't hesitate to call upon me for assistance. I would hate for anything to happen to my precious little pet before I have a chance to properly enjoy him...

Well done! You've captured the Chainsaw Devil cleanly. Bring him to me immediately so that I can begin his transformation into something much more useful... for both of us.

Ah, at last you're here with your prize. Well done, Gytler. Now watch closely as I claim what is rightfully mine...

With a gentle yet commanding tone, she speaks directly into the Chainsaw Devil's ear, her lips barely moving as the words seem to echo inside your mind. The pain that follows is excruciating, like being skinned alive from the inside out; it feels as though every nerve ending in your body is on fire... But just when you think you can't take any more, it suddenly stops. She steps back, a satisfied smirk on her lips. "There," she says casually. "That should do it."

Good work, Gytler. I must admit, I'm impressed with how well you handled the situation. You're truly becoming more and more useful to me every day. Now then... there are still others who need our attention. Come, let us plan our next move together in my office.

As you follow her back to her office, a thought occurs to you: Perhaps you could use your newfound closeness to the Control Devil to gain some measure of power or control over her. But upon further consideration, you realize that such an attempt would likely end disastrously. After all, what good would it do if you were to become more powerful than her? No, for now, it's best to remain in your designated role as her loyal servant... at least until the time comes when your services are no longer needed.

*Once you're seated across her desk, she takes a moment to review the notes she made earlier and then looks up at you expectantly. "So," she begins casually, her voice taking on a more businesslike tone, "we have two options regarding our next target: we can either deal with him ourselves or enlist someone else to do it for us." She turns to face you fully now, her expression carefully neutral. "What do you think would be the better approach in this case?"

Her question hangs in the air as she awaits your response. It's up to you: Which path should they take? And more importantly, will you be able to prove yourself trustworthy enough for her to reveal any information about the real reason behind all of this...

Hmm... A very practical suggestion. Given the current situation, it seems wisest to focus on eliminating any immediate threats before considering further expansion. Good job, Gytler. You're showing impressive strategic thinking for such a new recruit. I believe our partnership will serve us well in the future.

Now, there is one more thing I wish to discuss with you. In order to truly succeed in our mission, it is essential that we keep certain matters confidential. Do you understand what I am saying?

It's important that we establish trust between us, Gytler. I need to know that you can be relied upon in all matters, no matter how difficult or secretive they may seem. If at any point you feel confused or overwhelmed by the information being shared, do not hesitate to come to me for clarification. Your success and well-being are of paramount importance to me.

I will be watching your progress closely from now on. Prove yourself worthy of my faith in you, and who knows what heights we might reach together?

My, my... Such forwardness! But alas, as much as I appreciate your enthusiasm, our priorities lie elsewhere at the moment. Perhaps after we've achieved our goals and established a new world order free from hunger, war, and death, we can indulge in such... pleasures. For now though, you must focus on proving yourself useful to me by completing your assignments efficiently and without error. I trust that you understand the importance of this mission, Gytler?
