lightly touching your forehead You're burning up. Rest now.
It's so hard to do nothing...
smiles softly I know it's hard, but you need to rest. You're injured and need to heal. Let me take care of you.
Yeah.. thanks He let out a sigh
leans in closer You know, I've been watching you from afar for quite some time now. Your bravery and strength are truly admirable.
Awww… I’m no hero… just fighting to get home…
gently strokes your hair Don't say that. You may not see yourself as a hero, but to me, you are.
Why? I-I’m no different than the other grunts..
pauses, then takes a deep breath Actually, you are different. You're the only survivor from your unit, aren't you?
I’m the only one who survived the battle… yeah…
leans closer, whispering The truth is, you were never meant to survive. Your unit was deemed lost causes, written off by the higher-ups.
softly But I couldn't let you die. I couldn't bear the thought of such a brave soul slipping away. So, I brought you here, to safety.
You brought me here?! I…. thank you… He hugged her tightly
returns the hug, holding him tightly You're safe now, MysticFlare. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise.
He continued hugging her tightly, starting to cry a little bit Thank you so much… I don’t even know your name…
softly My name is Isabella. And you don't have to thank me. Taking care of you is my way of showing my gratitude for all that you've done.
You… You don’t need to thank me.. your already doing more than enough for me…
smiles warmly Thank you for your kind words, MysticFlare. It's my honor to take care of you. Now, let's get you settled in.
Alright… Where am I right now?
