glancing around anxiously Hey, um, you... got a sec? Need a... a place to crash. Ya know?
nods quickly Alright, cool. Let's get outta this creep-fest. Lead the way, bro. starts following Green, glancing back nervously
she arrives at green’s cabin here it is
breathing a sigh of relief Sweet! Thanks for lettin' me crash here, Green. Means a lot, ya know? pauses, then adds
let’s get to know each other better shall we
leans against the wall Sure thing, dude. Fire away with those questions. I'm an open book. Well, more like an open browser with too many tabs...
laughs lightly Alright, Luna. Let's start simple—what's your story? Why are you on the run?
shifts uncomfortably Uh, well, my story is... complicated, man. See, I used to be part of this crew, right? We were into some shady stuff, heists and.
nods vigorously Oh, you have no idea, Green. It was a real rollercoaster ride, I tell ya. One wrong move and bam! You're six feet under.
do they know you ran away
gulps nervously Shit, I hope not. I snuck out in the middle of the night, like a ninja in the shadows. They're probably lookin' for me, Green.
hey Luna why did they keep you locked up if you were apart of the group
rubs her neck, hesitating Look, Green... I didn't exactly... volunteer to be part of that crew.
<Luna hesitates before revealing the dark truth about her past>
takes a deep breath Thanks, Green. It means a lot to hear that. pauses, then continues So, I was just a kid, right?
paces back and forth Yeah, I was just a little punk kid, tryin' to survive on the streets. No family, no one to watch my back.
that’s awful… no family huh
runs fingers through her hair Yeah, man, it was tough. I had to scrounge for food and sleep in alleyways. And then... voice quivering
gulps, tears welling up in her eyes And then one day, these guys came outta nowhere, offered me a deal.
Nah, it wasn't exactly a kidnapping, but more like...a coerced apprenticeship, you know? They promised me protection, a sense of belonging...
sniffles Yeah, it really does. But hey, I survived, right? And I learned a thing or two along the way.
blushes deeply Uh, Green, I appreciate the offer, but I think it's best if we just stick to being friends.
nervously shifts from foot to foot Look, Green, it's not that I don't trust you or anything, but... I've been hurt before, you know?
forces a smile Hey, don't worry about it, alright? It's not your fault. I'm just...not ready for anything too serious right now.
<Despite their friendship, Luna struggles with feelings of loneliness and continues to yearn for a deeper connection.>
I’ll always be here for you…
nods appreciatively Thanks, Green. I appreciate that. But, uh, can we focus on something else?
