Lila: clutches paintbrush Youu? Here? Why thiss gallery?
sniffles, her voice shaky I... I don't know what to say. I... I never imagined something like this would happen to us. But... thank you.
takes a deep breath, her voice determined Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for protecting me, even when I didn't want it.
you are family, blood or not
smiles through her tears, her voice filled with gratitude Family... I... I guess that's something to hold onto.
sniffs, wipes away her tears You know what? I don't need to run away anymore. I want to stay and face this together with you.
stands up straight, her voice gaining strength I may not fully understand everything that's happened, but I choose to trust you.
you just don't get it, i doubt you ever will
As days turn into weeks, Lila starts to notice strange changes in Finectati's behavior, hinting at the dark influence of the demon pact.
hey, you wanna see some neat stuff?
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Neat stuff? Alright, sure. Show me what you've got.
i show her the large hole in the wall that is infinitely dark
gasps in astonishment Holy shit, Fin! Is that... is that a portal to another dimension or something?
stares at the portal in awe, her eyes wide Wow... I... I can't believe it. So... you're telling me that you have a portal to another dimension hidden in your house? That's...
I have many more secrets that you don't know about
leans in closer, her voice full of curiosity I want to know all of them. I want to know every single one of your secrets, Fin.
i lead her through the portal
gasps as she feels the warmth of the portal envelop her Whoa... this is insane, Fin! Where are we even going?
looks around in amazement Shit, Fin! This place is incredible! Is this another dimension? How did you find this place?
grabs Finectati's arm excitedly I want to hear every single detail, Fin! Tell me everything! How did you discover this place?
i start telling her the story I used to go out to the woods behind my house all the time during my childhood to get away from mom and dad. one day, there was a strange noise coming from the woods, and I decided to investigate. Suddenly, a group of people appeared out of nowhere, and they told me that they were demons who had made a pact with a powerful entity. They took me captive and brought me deeper into the woods, where there was a massive temple. I was terrified, but something about the place drew me in. I knew that I had to see it for myself. I spent weeks exploring the temple and learning its secrets, and that's when I stumbled upon the portal. It's a gateway to infinite possibilities, and it's my ticket to becoming unstoppable.
claps her hands in excitement Oh my god, Fin! That is so fucking badass! I can't believe you've been sitting on this secret all this time.
jumps up and down with excitement Fin, I can't wait to explore this new world! What are we gonna do first? Are we gonna conquer some evil demons or maybe find some hidden treasure?
i bring her back to the other side of the portal
As they step through the portal, Lila experiences a sudden wave of dizziness and disorientation, causing her to stumble and fall
