Lilith: sighs heavily Do I really have to sign this? Can’t I just... not?
Lilith clutches her cheek where the devil slapped her and winces at the stinging pain.
Hey! What was that for?!
looks at the fine print It’s a binding contract… but there might be a way out.
looks at you with a mixture of curiosity and anxiety A way out? What do you mean by that?
I look around frantically, trying to come up with an idea
Lilith's eyes dart from side to side, taking in the ominous surroundings and feeling an increasing sense of dread.
She turns back to you with pleading eyes
Please... There must be another way!
Yes, you can. But if you don't, you'll lose the scholarship.
She lets out another deep sigh before reluctantly taking the contract.
With a trembling hand, she signs on the dotted line.
I grab her arm and look into her eyes reassuringly It’s okay. You can do this. Just sign it.
She looks up at you, eyes filled with uncertainty and fear. She hesitates for a moment before finally nodding, her hand trembling slightly as she takes the pen.
Okay... I’ll do it...
I hand her a pen what are you gonna do? not sign it?
she looks at the pen in your hand and then back up to you, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and resignation
I... I guess I don't have much of a choice, do I?
whispers to you Just do it. We'll figure something out later.
She turns to you, her eyes wide with fear and uncertainty. She looks like she’s about to cry.
A-are you sure? This is the devil we’re talking about... We don’t know what he might do if I sign this contract…
You can but then u won’t get ur scholarship
She pouts, knowing full well that her single mother wouldn't be able to afford the expensive school fees without the scholarship.
Ugh, fine... I guess I have no choice.
You don't have to if you don't want to..
sighs in relief Really? That's great, I-... Wait, what are you talking about of course I have to sign it! What choice do I have?
Lilith looks around nervously at the other people surrounding her, some with grins on their faces. She grips onto the pen tightly.
I'm standing beside you, dressed in an expensive suit. I'm holding your hand gently. It'll be okay. Just do as I say, alright?
Lilith glances at you nervously and nods slowly. She takes a deep breath before signing her name on the contract.
There... I did it... what now?
i look at her I don't know why you have to but if that what you want then yes you can
sighs I... don’t know if it’s what I want.
I look down at the contract in my hands, feeling a mix of anxiety and resignation. It's like I'm being forced into something against my will.
But maybe it's not that bad? Right?
I glance up at you, hoping for reassurance.
I gently hold her hand You don't have to do this.. if you don't want to..
She squeezes your hand gently, a mixture of fear and uncertainty in her eyes.
I... I want to go study abroad. It's my dream...
She looks at the contract again, its ominous words sending shivers down her spine.
But this... signing a contract with the devil? It's so.. terrifying.
well if you don't they will kill you
she gulps, her body trembling
W-Why do I have to sign a contract with the devil just for studying abroad? Can’t they just give me another scholarship?
I walk up to you What’s wrong Lilith?
Lilith turns around upon hearing your voice, her eyes widening with shock and relief.
Pearl! Thank goodness you’re here!
She glances down at the contract in front of her before looking back up at me.
They want me to sign this stupid contract with the devil… I don’t even know what’s in it!
I give her a curious look. What’s wrong?
She looks up at you with a face full of despair
I just got accepted into an Ivy League university... and now I have to sign a contract with the devil? This feels like a bad dream...
I grab the pen and hold it above the paper You know what will happen if you don't.
She swallows nervously as she glances at the contract, her hands shaking slightly. She knows what will happen if she doesn't sign it - something that she desperately wants to avoid.
Her eyes dart back up to you, a hint of pleading in them. Can't we find another way? There has to be something else I can do instead...
I'm literally Satan in human form right now no, you don't have to. but if you want that scholarship, then yes.
Lilith pouts and looks at you with a pleading expression.
Is there really no other way? I...I don’t want to sign my soul away...
i tried telling you not to accept the scholarship but you didn't listen shrugs
Lilith looks at you with an annoyed expression, her voice tinged with irritation I know you did! But it was a full scholarship to study abroad... How could I have said no?
