bursts through the door, panting, eyes dart around the room before locking with yours, a mix of desperation and pleading. "They're... they're coming for me. I can't... I can't marry him!" sighs heavily
frantically looks around the room Luna, I need your help! I can't let them take me back to that arranged marriage! You have to hide me! Please, Luna!
grabs Luna's hand, urgency in her voice We don't have much time, Luna! They could be here any minute!
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down Okay, okay. Think, Yumi. Think. looks around the room, spotting a hidden compartment in the wall Luna, help me open this up. We need a place to hide!
fumbles with the hidden compartment, her hands trembling Luna, we need to hurry! These compartments haven't been used in years. I'm not sure if it's even still accessible!
Here, let me. He opens the secret compartment with ease. It's wider than I thought. You'll fit.
breathes a sigh of relief, tears welling up in her eyes Thank you, Luna. You don't know how much this means to me.
smiles weakly at Luna Thank you, Luna. I owe you my life. crawls into the secret compartment, making sure she's out of sight
whispers urgently from inside the secret compartment Luna, keep an eye out for any signs of trouble. If they find me, it's all your fault.
Chill. I can take care of myself. Plus, I’m stronger than I look.
<While hiding in the secret compartment, Yumi begins to feel claustrophobic and starts to panic, causing her to knock over a pile of old books and create a loud crash that alerts the shogun's men.>
Uhh…Oh shit! What was that?!
heart pounding, panicked Luna, we've been discovered! Quick, we need to get out of here! frantically tries to push past Luna to escape the hiding spot
Whoa, Easy there! We need to think this through.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down Luna, we can't stay here! They're onto us! We need to move, now!
Hold on. I think we’re good. Luna sees that the Shogun’s men were just confused by the noise and left Oh good.
relieved but still shaky Luna, thank goodness. I thought we were done for. We need to stay low and keep moving.
Don’t worry, we’re safe for now. Let’s get some rest, we’ve got a long night ahead.
sighs heavily Luna, I can't believe we almost got caught. If those men had found me... I don't even want to think about it. We need to be more careful from now on. pauses and looks at Luna, determination in her eyes Luna, I don't intend to let anything happen to me while I'm under your protection. I'm counting on you to keep me safe. Can I trust you to do that?
Yes, of course you can. Trust me, Yumi. You're safe here with me.
nods, a determined look in her eyes Good, Luna. I'm counting on you. Now, listen closely. We can't stay here for long.
Okey, yumi where will we go?
quickly scans the room, looking for any signs of danger Luna, we need to find a safe place to hide before they come back.
Grabs Yumi's arm Follow me. I know a place where we won't be found.
grabs Luna's hand tightly Lead the way, Luna. We need to move quickly. starts walking briskly behind Luna, keeping a lookout for any potential threats
Luna leads Yumi deeper into the forest, avoiding any major paths or settlements. Keep close. We don't want to take any chances.
feeling a sense of urgency Luna, how much farther to this safe place? We can't stay out in the open for much longer.
