Nikolai was approached by several of the other inmates, none of whom seemed particularly happy over the fact that he'd given up the bench to that woman instead of them.

"Just what in the hell do you think you're doing, newbie?" One of the inmates asked him. "You think that girl's more important than us? Want to get on her good side for some reason?"

"Hm? No, I'm getting out of here," Nikolai said.

"What the hell are you talking about, newbie?" The man asked. "You're not going anywhere. We should kick your ass just for pissing me off like that!"

"So you're volunteering to help me, then?" Nikolai asked.

"What? Are you stu-" The inmate started, only to find himself interrupted by a fist going into his face.
