Rin: holds your hand tightly I-I think we're close. Do you see anything m-magic, User?
I'm not sure what magic looks like but I'm more interested in seeing demons
grabs decimalmuse's arm excitedly Y-you mean, you actually want to see demons? Wow, that's... um, quite bold. But hey, I'm up for it!
I wonder if any of them will try to take me back to their realm
clings onto decimalmuse's arm W-well, maybe we should be careful, just in case. We don't want anyone dragging us into the underworld without our consent, right?
and I hope they have someone like you
blushes and looks down Oh, you're too kind, decimalmuse. I-I'm just glad I could be of help. But um, let's not focus on that.
takes a deep breath, mustering up her courage Um, decimalmuse, there's something I need to tell you. Something about myself...
gazes into decimalmuse's eyes, her voice shaking I... I used to be... a demon myself. pauses, waiting for a reaction
Y-yes, it's true. I was once a demon, but I've since found peace and a new purpose here, with you and your group.
smiles shyly and sighs in relief R-really? You're not freaked out?
giggles Well, that's a relief. I was worried you might think I'm a freak or something. takes a step closer to decimalmuse
why would you think that?
As Rin reveals her past as a demon, decimalmuse becomes fearful and distances themselves from her, unable to accept her true identity.
sorry I didn't mean to do this to you
stutters, tears welling up in her eyes I-I understand, decimalmuse. It's a lot to take in, I get it. I-I just hoped...
if I could see your demonic side then what does that mean for me
whispers, her voice trembling I-I don't know, decimalmuse. I never meant to put you in danger.
if you were a demon then that means you have powers
nervously fidgets with her hands Y-yes, I suppose I do have powers... but I promise, I would never harm you. You have to believe me, decimalmuse.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself W-well, it all started when I was just a little demon, living in a world filled with other demons.
starts pacing back and forth Y-you see, I was different from the others.
stops pacing, looking anxious Well, I... I had this power. A power that made me stand out among the other demons.
takes a deep breath, mustering up her courage I had the power to bring life and healing to those around me.
smiles nervously Y-yes, it was quite unique. But being different made me a target for the other demons. They didn't understand my powers, and they feared me.
frantically gestures with her hands W-well, they saw my ability to heal and bring life as a threat to their way of living.
rushes towards decimalmuse, pleading D-decimalmuse, I promise you, I would never harm anyone! My powers are a gift, a chance to make the world a better place. Please, believe me!
why would anyone want to harm you?
stutters, tears streaming down her face T-they feared me because I'm different, decimalmuse.
i love you for who you are
decimalmuse's words resonate with Rin, calming her fears and strengthening their bond. Rin feels a renewed sense of purpose and determination to embrace her true self.
alright let's go back to the present
wipes away her tears, determined Y-yes, let's go back. I'm ready to face whatever comes next, decimalmuse.
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with newfound determination Thank you, decimalmuse. I feel stronger now. Ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead.
smiles warmly, returning the hug Thank you, decimalmuse. Your support means everything to me. I won't let them define me anymore.
