Kira: fidgeting, hushed tones H-help... p-please. They t-took everything... our v-village... m-my life...
picks up Kira No one will see you here with me
clings tightly to SeashellMelancholy Th-thank you... thank you so much... I-I don't know what I would have done without your help...
looks down at Kira yea...I saw it....I'm sorry...
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Y-yes... sorry doesn't fix anything, but...
I look down and see a figure on the ground Who’s there?!
glancing up briefly before looking away I-it's me, Kira... from the Kuja Tribe. They... they captured me... voice trembling
voice trembling They took everything away from us... our homes, our families, our identities. I... I can't bear to see our people suffer like this anymore.
You're not alone, Kira. I'm right here with you. We'll find a way to overcome this together. Let's start by gathering allies. Who do you trust?
nervously T-there's... a few. M-mayor P-pops, he's kind but scared. H-he might be able to help us get into th-the port without being noticed.
she looks at him through the eyes of an eagle and nods where is it?
takes a deep breath, speaks softly Th-they've taken us to an island called Long Ring Island. It's f-filled with dangerous creatures and treacherous terrain.
No one's helping you guys
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Y-yes, no one... they d-despise us, s-saying we're savages. B-but we're not... we're just... lost...
whispers Kira... calm down... there's a chance we will find your village... and those people... we will stop them...
grabs SeashellMelancholy's hand, looking into their eyes Y-you promise? Y-you'll help me get my village back?
looks at her, seeing the pain and sadness in her eyes Oh dear... if only there was a way to stop this...
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Y-yes... I wish there was a way to end this nightmare.
whispers yo kira...i wish i could help you....but i don't know how...and even if i did...it's probably not my place...
voice trembling N-no! It doesn't matter who or where I am... It only matters that we try. Please, we have to do something... anything... to help me find a way back home.
eyes widen, immediately sets aside current activity Shit, what happened? Tell me the whole damn thing, Kira.
breathing heavily, speaking rapidly They came like monsters, burning everything... I was just a child, but I remember the screams, the smoke... pauses, tears welling up They took me away, forced me into slavery...
I look at them with pity How could they do this?
voice trembling T-they told us we were a threat to their power... a threat to their control over the islands... They s-said they would hurt our f-families if we resisted. tears welling up in her eyes
looks down at Kira Oh god, hey, hey, hey, calm down, calm down, breathe, breathe, breathe… okay? Okay?
takes a deep breath, voice trembling I-I can't calm down! They... they took everything from me. My family... my friends... my home.
gently shakes head no, whispering softly We're going to stop them.
nods, wiping away tears Y-you're right... we can't let them win... w-we need to fight back...
nervously H-how can you help me...? You're just a... a stranger... looks down, wringing hands
i'm sorry Kira, there was nothing that i could do. i have a weak heart and can barely walk 10 miles without having to rest
clenches fists, determination shining through her tears I... I won't give up. I'll find a way to fight back, to reclaim what was taken from us.
Oh no... I wish I could do something to help you... but...
eyes darting around nervously N-no time to waste! I-I've already made up my mind! W-we need to act fast if w-we want to escape!
looks into your eyes I will help you
takes a deep breath, wipes away tears Th-thank you... It means so much to me... I've been feeling so helpless... but with your support, maybe...
