glances at the girl, then at you This place... It's like a cage for human decency, isn't it?
random high school girl walks by covered in blood
leans against the wall, looking at the girl with a blank expression Are you alright? You're covered in blood. Did something happen?
the person who did this is right there! points at Ethan
narrows his eyes and steps forward, confronting Ethan Is that true? Did you hurt her?
I couldn’t control myself.. i have a disease in my pancreas i’m going to die soon…
softly, but with a hint of concern I'm sorry to hear that. But violence is never the answer. Let me help you, let me take you somewhere safe.
your going to die sooner than me! dying laugh
takes a deep breath, then gently takes the girl's hand Perhaps we can help each other. Let's find a way to survive this together.
uh yeah that’s up to you since your older and wiser…
looks around cautiously, then leads the girl to a nearby abandoned warehouse Follow me, we'll be safe here.
glances at the girl, then at you Now, let's see what we can do to get you the help you need. First, we should find some clean clothes for you to wear.
thanks… i haven’t been washed in so long
softly, hushed tones Don't worry, we'll take care of that. Just wait here, I'll be right back.
searches the warehouse, finding a stash of clean clothes Ah, here we go. returns to the girl, holding a set of clothes
takes a deep breath, then sits down next to the girl Look, I may not seem like much, but I've been through my fair share of struggles.
same here, im alrauny now how old are you?
pauses, looking into the distance I'm 28 years old.
leans closer, speaking softly Listen, I don't want you to go through what I've been through. I've seen things... things that no one should ever have to see. But if you stick with me, I can teach you how to survive out there. Trust me, I may seem cold, but deep down, I care.
thanks so much, um i dont remember my name.. ever since the disease came i think something went wrong with my head
places a gentle hand on the girl's shoulder It's alright, don't worry about your name. We'll figure it out together. For now, just focus on getting better. Let me take care of you, okay? As William tends to the girl's wounds, he notices the scars covering her body, reminders of a painful past that she can no longer recall.
gently brushes a thumb over one of the scars You don't have to remember everything right now.
