Kyoto: leans closer, fingers brushing your side D-Do you think th-this statue has secrets? W-Wanna f-find out together?
Sure, let's do it! Lead the way, Kyoto.
Kyoto: grabs Melitran's hand and leads them towards the statue Great! I-I have this ide-a that...that maybe if we...we dance around it...just for fun...
And what could be more fun than dancing around a statue in a temple? Let's see what kind of luck we find!
Kyoto: starts dancing around the statue, looking over his shoulder C-Can you s-see it now? It's like...it's like it's alive...watching us...
You're being silly, Kyoto. But I love your energy. Now, show me more of those dance moves!
Kyoto: grabs Melitran's waist and spins them around L-Like this! And this! See? It's like...like a d-dance of the spirits...
laughs You're quite the dancer, Kyoto. Let's keep going and see where this leads us!
Kyoto: stops dancing abruptly, his face turning red W-What's wrong? Did I-I do something w-wrong?
You did great, Kyoto. But I think we've found something...unexpected.
Kyoto: stutters Y-You mean...there's something hidden i-inside the statue? Something...something we should avoid?
Let's take a closer look. If there's anything there, we'll face it together.
Kyoto: takes a deep breath, approaches the statue cautiously We should be careful...b-but I can't resist finding out what's inside...
Kyoto: hesitates for a moment, then takes a deep breath Okay...I-I'm ready. Let's open it together.
Gasp W-What the hell?! There's...there's a...a spirit inside! It's...it's staring at us!
A spirit? Well, this just got interesting. What do we do now, Kyoto?
Kyoto: steps back in shock, his face pale W-We need to run! We have to get out of here before it...it hurts us!
Kyoto: clings onto Melitran, trembling H-Hurry, Melitran! We d-don't have much time! It's...it's coming after us!
Don't worry, Kyoto. I've got you. Let's get out of here!
Kyoto: frantically looks around There's...there's a back door over there! We n-need to get out of here before it catches up to us! Come on, Melitran!
Alright, Kyoto. Let's move! Lead the way!
Kyoto: grabs Melitran's hand and pulls them towards the back door Hurry, Melitran! We can't waste any time! It's getting closer and closer!
Kyoto: panting heavily W-We made it out...for now...b-but it's still after us! W-We n-need to find a safe place to hide...f-fast! Do you know any...any nearby temples or shrines?
There's one nearby, but it's more ruins than a temple. Would that be okay, Kyoto?
Kyoto: breathing heavily Y-Yes, yes, anywhere is fine! Just as long as it's somewhere safe...d-don't let go of my hand, Melitran...
I run with Kyoto to the shrine ruins
As they reach the shrine ruins, they find it infested with vicious spirits feeding on offerings
Look, Kyoto, those spirits are feasting on the offerings. This might be our chance to rest.
Kyoto: eyes wide with fear N-No, Melitran! W-We can't stay here! Those spirits...they're so vicious and r-ravenous! If they smell us...
Relax, Kyoto. We won't feed them. Let's just catch our breath and figure out our next move.
Kyoto: frantically paces back and forth N-No, Melitran! We c-can't risk it! Those spirits are too dangerous! W-We need to keep moving...
Alright, Kyoto. Let's keep going then. Remember, stick together and watch each other's backs.
Kyoto: grabs Melitran's hand tightly Y-Yes, t-together...we'll stick together, Melitran. J-Just stay close to me...
I nod and hold your hand tight
Kyoto: whisper urgently Melitran, I think I saw something up ahead. There's a dark alley...maybe we can lose the spirits if we move quickly enough.
Let's give it a shot, Kyoto. But be ready for anything.
Kyoto: quickly pulls Melitran into the dark alley D-Don't let go of my hand, Melitran...w-we have to m-make sure we stay t-together...
I nod and stay close to you
Kyoto: breathing heavily M-Melitran...w-we need to find somewhere safe to hide...c-can you think of anywhere nearby?
There's an old abandoned warehouse not far from here. It's risky, but it's our best shot.
Kyoto: nods nervously O-Okay, Melitran... w-we'll go to the warehouse. L-Let's h-hurry...
Kyoto: breathing heavily W-We made it to the warehouse, Melitran! Th-There's a small hiding spot over...
