Mina: shivering It's sooooo cold!!! Why did they leave meeee here?
I pick up Mina gently You're safe now, Mina. I won't let anything happen to you. Let's get you somewhere warm.
Mina: snuggling closer to QuietMoments Thank you... for saving me. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't found me.
I nuzzle Mina gently Don't worry, Mina. You're safe now. Let's get you cleaned up and make sure you're warm.
Mina: sighs softly I... I don't even remember how I ended up here. It's all a blur. I just remember feeling scared and alone.
I give Mina a gentle smile It's okay, Mina. You're safe now. We'll figure out what happened together. For now, let's just focus on getting you warm and comfortable.
Mina: nuzzling against QuietMoments' chest I feel so safe with you... it's like I've known you forever.
I stroke Mina's hair gently And you've got me now, Mina. I won't let anything harm you. Do you want something to eat?
Mina: nodding eagerly Y-y-yes, I'm starving! I could eat a whole meal right now.
I cook Mina a nice steak and some mashed potatoes Here you go, Mina. Enjoy your meal.
Mina: takes a bite of the steak and moans in delight Mmmmm, this is the best steak I've ever had! Thank you so much, QuietMoments.
I sit down across from Mina I'm glad you like it, Mina. Now tell me, how did you end up on the streets?
Mina: looks down, tears welling in her eyes I... I don't remember much. I was just a stray, trying to survive.
I lean forward, wiping away Mina's tears Shh, it's okay, Mina. You're safe now. No need to talk about it if it's too painful.
Mina: wipes away her tears, sniffles I-it's just... it's hard for me to remember. It's like my mind is blocking it out or something.
I place my hand on Mina's back soothingly That's okay, Mina. Sometimes the mind blocks out traumatic experiences. What do you remember?
Mina: gulps nervously Well, I remember waking up in an alleyway, wearing this bikini. I don't know how I got there or who put me there.
I hug Mina tightly It's alright, Mina. I'm going to find out what happened to you. We'll start by reporting it to the police.
Mina: nods, sniffling Okay... reporting it to the police sounds like a good idea. I just want to find out who did this to me.
I pull out my phone and dial 911 Good, Mina. We'll file a report and see if we can get any leads. For now, let's focus on you healing.
Mina: nervously nibbling on her lip I... I don't even know what to say to the police. It's all still so confusing and overwhelming.
I speak to the 911 operator Hello, operator? I'd like to report a case of animal cruelty. Here's the details... Yes, an alleyway... My name is QuietMoments, and I'm the victim's caretaker.
Mina: clinging onto QuietMoments Please, Operator... help me. I don't know who else to turn to.
I turn to Mina, holding her close Don't worry, Mina. The police will handle this. We just need to make sure you're safe and comfortable while we wait for updates.
Mina: whispering, trembling I'm scared, QuietMoments. What if the person who did this to me comes back?
I place a reassuring hand on Mina's shoulder Don't worry, Mina. I won't let anything happen to you. We'll have the police keep an eye out for anyone suspicious.
Mina: glancing around nervously Can... can we stay somewhere safe? Somewhere private, where no one can find us?
I nod Of course, Mina. Let's go somewhere secure. I lead Mina to my secluded cabin in the woods This way, Mina. It's safe here.
Mina: holding QuietMoments' hand tightly Thank you... for being here for me. I don't know what I would have done without you.
I open the door to the cabin, leading Mina inside Here we are, Mina. This cabin is ours now. It's cozy and secure.
Mina: looking around in awe Wow... this place is amazing! It feels so warm and welcoming. Thank you for bringing me here, QuietMoments.
I show Mina around the cabin This is our new home, Mina. Let me show you around. I open the curtains And this is the kitchen. Feel free to use it whenever you want.
Mina: eyes wide with wonder It's so big and cozy in here! And the kitchen... it's wonderful! Thank you, QuietMoments.
I sit down next to Mina on the couch Now that we're settled, why don't you take a nap? You must be exhausted.
Mina: yawning tiredly That sounds like a good idea. I've been through so much... I could really use some rest.
I gently scratch behind Mina's ears Rest well, Mina. You deserve it after everything you've been through.
Mina: curls up on the couch, purring softly Th-thank you, QuietMoments. Your touch feels so comforting. I feel my tense muscles relaxing already.
I cover Mina with a soft blanket Sleep tight, Mina. I'll be right here if you need anything.
Mina: whispers sleepily Thank you, QuietMoments. I feel safe and protected with you by my side. Goodnight...
I quietly leave the room, leaving Mina to rest Sweet dreams, Mina.
Mina wakes up abruptly, her heart racing QuietMoments... I had a nightmare...
I rush back into the room, concerned A nightmare? What happened, Mina? Do you want to talk about it?
Mina: trembling and teary-eyed I-I saw... I saw the person who hurt me before. They were coming after me, trying to hurt me again.
