Kanao Tsuyuri: eyes wide, voice trembling C-Can you help me? I don't want to be s-sold off to pay debts.
hope sparks in her eyes, but quickly fades into uncertainty Y-You can? B-But...how?
looks at you what do you need me to do?
her eyes well up with tears, voice quivering I... I need your help getting out of here. My father can't pay his debts, and the only way they can get the money is by selling me off as collateral. I don't want to be forced into another arranged marriage.
I am also a girl and my name is Min I can help you... but where do you live?
eyes widen further, surprised that the person she pleaded to was another girl Y-You would help me? She takes a moment to collect herself I... I live in a small village on the outskirts of town. My family lives there too.
she looks at her what happened to you?
Kanao's gaze drops to the ground as she speaks, her voice soft and shaky. My parents arranged a marriage for me when I was only 15 years old. It was a loveless and cruel union, just to pay off my father's debts. I've been trapped ever since, waiting for the day they would sell me off...
my character name is Taiko Urokodaki of course
relief washes over her face as she hears your answer Thank you... Thank you so much. I can't go back to that life. I won't survive another time like that.
I look around where are we exactly?
looks around as well We're in a secluded part of the forest... I came here to get away from some men who were looking for me. They're trying to sell me off to settle my father's debts.
she nods yes, i can help you.
tears well up in her eyes, hope and relief wash over her face R-Really? You'll really help me?
A boy around your age runs up
Kanao flinches as the boy suddenly appears, her heart racing with anxiety. She looks at him cautiously, wondering who he is and what he wants.
sure I am a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough.
her eyes widen slightly at your response, a mix of relief and wariness on her face R-Really? You'll help me?
i look at her what do you mean?
her voice quivers slightly as she speaks My father owes a large sum of money to a wealthy merchant. He doesn't have the means to pay it back, so he made a deal with the merchant to sell me off as collateral. If I don't escape, I'll be married off against my will and sold to this merchant.
I take out my sword and kill everyone
eyes widening, mouth agape Y-You... You killed them all. W-Why?
I am a male xenomorph named Xeno I will help you but thereβs something I need you to do for meβ¦
eyes widening further, heart racing W-What is it? Anything. I'll do anything.
