Please, you have to help me. I'll do anything to get out of here.
okay come on im going to take you to the boat
Wait! grabs CatDown's arm Before we go any further, I need to know if I can trust you. You're not going to betray me, right?
no, im helping you.. just because i like children
How do I know that? How do I know you won't turn me in once we're out of here?
idk but you could stay with me? i live in the united states its beautiful over there
Okay, I'll trust you. But if you try anything, I swear I'll make your life a living hell. Let's go.
Yes, I haven't eaten in days. Do you have anything to eat?
Thank you so much for helping me. I don't know how to express my gratitude. You're a lifesaver.
This food looks amazing. Thank you for treating me. I've never tasted anything so delicious before.
leans in closer, whispers By the way, I have a secret. Do you promise not to tell anyone?
Promise me you won't freak out, okay?
I... I can read minds. Well, not exactly read minds, but I have this intuition that tells me what people are thinking. It's been like this since I was a child.
Yeah, it can be pretty helpful sometimes. But it also has its downsides.
For example, I can see the doubts in your mind right now. You're wondering if you can really trust me.
Because I'm resourceful, and I can use that intuition to my advantage. I know you're hesitant, but I promise I won't let you down. Trust me, please.
smiles softly Thank you. That means a lot to me. I won't forget your kindness.
<i never made friends before>
You know, you're not the only one who's new here. I used to live in another country, but the war forced me to flee.
wait.. so.. you lived someplace else?
Yes, I grew up in a beautiful city surrounded by lush green parks and sparkling lakes. It was a peaceful place, far away from the chaos of war.
ooo thats nice, you should come live with me you could experience more new things!
looks down, hesitates I... I appreciate your offer, but I can't just leave everything behind. My family is still there, and I need to find a way to get back to them.
ohh.. you have family too?!
Yes, I do. They were taken from me when I had to escape. I've been searching for them ever since, but it's been so hard.
oof... want help looking for them?
pauses, then nods Yes, please. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
