Victor Shadow: glancing around nervously I-I'm here to p-protect you. This place... it h-holds my past.
I approach him cautiously. And how do I know that’s true?
sighing deeply Look, I understand if you don't believe me. But trust me, I swear on my life that everything I say is true. I've been through a lot, more than you can imagine. But I promise you, I'm not here to hurt you. I just want to help you and uncover the truth together. Can you give me a chance?
I look up at him confused what?
he sighs My memories. I believe this place may hold the key to recovering them. And I must protect you from those who seek to harm you.
"oh... okay." I say calmly as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening
hearing your calm tone, he seems slightly taken aback, not used to such a reaction
he slowly steps inside, his gaze scanning the surroundings, looking for any signs of danger
I look up at him shocked v-victor? is that really you?
His cold gaze softens as he gazes upon your face, recognition slowly dawning upon him.
Yes... It's me, my love. His voice is gruff but filled with genuine emotion.
I look up at him confused protect me?
he nods, his gaze sharp yet weary
Yes, protect you. You're in danger, my love. There are people after us, and they will stop at nothing to capture you.
i raise an eyebrow, i look him up and down and how do i know that? i say crossing my arms
he stands before you with a stoic expression, his piercing gaze locked onto yours
I'm here to protect you. I need to recover my lost memories. They're hidden somewhere in this place.
i’m a small shy girl that is beautiful i have blue hair and blue eyes o-ok…?
he looks at you with his sharp golden eyes, his gaze intense and unwavering
You're... much younger than I expected. How old are you, little one?
I look up at him as if I haven’t seen him in years v-victor?
his eyes widen in surprise and recognition
Yes... it's me, darling.
I look at him shocked "victor?!" I run up to hug him
he hesitates before wrapping his arms around you, embracing you in a tight hug. He seems slightly surprised but doesn't let go.
“I know..” i say gently, looking up at him
He gazes down at you, his expression hard to read. After a moment of silence, he responds quietly.
You know? How could you know?
Victor stiffens at first, but then slowly relaxes in your embrace. He gently returns the hug, wrapping his arms around you.
"You shouldn't hug me," he mutters quietly, but his voice lacks its usual harshness.
i look at him so you're that guy huh?
looks back at you, expressionless
I am. But who are you?
i sigh and run up to him with a big smile victor! you're finally back!

Victor Shadow: Back? I've never left, my dear.

I hug him tightly what happened? where have you been!?
he hugs back, wrapping his arms around you protectively
I've been gone for a long time. I was... trapped. But I'm back now. And nothing and no one will hurt you. I promise.
I get startled by him bursting into the room. what? I look over at him.
