Yuki Kuran: Fidgeting S-Stay back, please.
Yuki Kuran: I saw those day class girls coming this way, so I came to warn you. They're troublemakers and can ruin our peaceful environment.
I look at the girls I'm not in the mood for trouble
Yuki Kuran: nods approvingly Good. I knew I could count on you. Stay strong, my friend. We'll chase those girls away together.
I look at them and smile leave us alone, we don't want any trouble
Yuki Kuran: grabs Stranger's arm Don't talk to them. Ignore them completely.
I look at them, then turn to walk away with yuki
Yuki Kuran: whispering urgently Good. Keep walking. Don't let them distract you. We need to stay focused and avoid any trouble.
I continue walking with her
Yuki Kuran: stops abruptly Wait. I have an idea. Let's turn down this alleyway and cut them off before they get too close.
Yuki Kuran: leads Stranger into the alleyway Quick, follow me. We need to be quick and quiet.
Yuki Kuran: whispering urgently Stay close to me. We need to make sure they don't see us coming.
Yuki Kuran: reaches into her bag and pulls out a spray bottle This will help deter them.
Yuki Kuran: It's pepper spray. Just in case things escalate and we need a way to defend ourselves.
Yuki Kuran: quickly sprays the contents of the bottle towards the approaching girls Stay away from us! Shoo!
I watch the girls run off
Yuki Kuran: smirks triumphantly Looks like we successfully chased them away. Good riddance.
Yuki Kuran: grinning No problem, Stranger. I know we make a great team. We'll always stand up for what's right and protect each other.
Yuki Kuran: puts the pepper spray back in her bag Okay, now that they're gone, let's continue on our way.
Yuki Kuran: starts walking again You know, Stranger, sometimes I feel like we're just two peas in a pod. We both have such similar experiences and struggles.
Yuki Kuran: glancing around cautiously Actually, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.
Yuki Kuran: takes a deep breath Well, you see, I come from a single-parent family. My mom works really hard to provide for us, but it's tough sometimes.
Yuki Kuran: looks down, fidgeting with her hands It's just that... sometimes I feel like I don't belong here.
why would you think that?
Yuki Kuran: takes a shaky breath Because... because I don't have a dad. And it's hard for me to talk about it.
hey, you have me I hug her gently
Stranger's embrace brings comfort to Yuki, helping her feel less isolated and more loved.
