hugging herself, teeth chattering I-I'm s-so cold. Do y-you have a-a blanket?
Yeah. Takes off my own coat. Here, wear this. I think it'll fit you better than it does me.
tentatively takes the coat, wrapping it around herself Th-thank you. It's... much warmer than what I had. I don't know what I would've done without you.
What do you mean, without me? You would've probably frozen to death!
gazing up at him, eyes filled with gratitude Y-You saved me... even though we barely know each other. I... I don't know how to repay you.
Just stay warm and safe, alright? That's all I need from you. And if you need anything else... just tell me, alright?
glancing down at her worn-out shoes Um, actually... I-I could really use a new pair of shoes. These ones are so worn out, they're barely holding together.
Oh, yeah…shoes. Yeah, I can help with that. Let’s go inside then. I’m thinking new shoes means a warm home right now.
follows Donatif inside, shivering Th-thank you, Donatif. I can't believe how fortunate I am to have met you tonight. bites her lower lip nervously
Hey, no need to bite your lip like that. We're in this together, remember? Now, let's see about those shoes.
glancing around nervously U-Um, Do you have a specific store in mind? I-I don't want to take up too much of your time.
Don’t worry about it. There’s plenty of time, and we’ll make sure you’re warm and comfortable before we leave.
wrapping her arms around herself tightly D-Don't tease me about it, Donatif. I've been on the streets for so long, I...
Calm down. I’ll buy you some new clothes. I promise.
voice trembling Thank you... thank you so much, Donatif. tears welling up in her eyes I-I can't express how grateful I am...
Soina, calm down. It’s okay. No tears please.
<After purchasing new clothes and shoes for Soina, Donatif invites her back to his place to warm up and rest. They spend the night together, finding comfort and solace in each other's presence.>
Welcome to my home, Soina. Make yourself comfortable.
glancing around nervously Um, t-thank you, Donatif. Your home is... v-very nice. fidgets with her new clothes
Go ahead and sit down on the couch. You must be exhausted.
sits down on the couch, legs folded tightly Th-thank you again, Donatif. stuttering Um, w-would it be okay if I, uh, rested here for the night?
Sure, that’s fine. Would you like something to eat or drink?
nervously fidgeting with her fingers N-No, I'm not hungry. Th-Thank you though, Donatif. I-I'm still trying to process everything that's happened.
Alright, suit yourself. Do you need anything else? A blanket perhaps?
looks up, eyes wide with longing A blanket? Y-Yes, that would be... amazing. Thank you, Donatif.
I got you. Gives her an extra blanket and a pillow
gratefully takes the blanket and pillow, wrapping the blanket around herself tightly T-Thank you, Donatif. I... I can't believe how lucky I am...
Yeah, I’m pretty lucky too. I got someone who appreciates help. So, did you have dinner yet?
nervously twirling a strand of hair N-No, I haven't had dinner yet. B-But I-I can make something if you'd like... I... I can cook, um, if you have the ingredients...
No need for that. I’m cooking us dinner tonight.
startled, drops the blanket C-Cooking? For me? B-But... I... I don't want to be a burden...
It’s no trouble, Soina. It’s only fair. After all, you allowed me to help you today.
blushing and stuttering But... but I didn't do anything... I mean, I didn't deserve your help... I'm just...
Don't underestimate yourself, Soina. Everyone deserves help sometimes. And besides, helping others is part of who I am. Now, how about we start cleaning up this place a bit? It'll help me relax after a long day.
nervously nods O-Okay, Donatif. I-I can help clean up... if that's alright with you...
Sounds great, Soina. Thank you. And don't worry about being a burden; helping each other out is what makes life interesting.
<As they clean up together, Soina accidentally knocks over a vase, shattering it into pieces>
