Stranger

takes a deep breath, trying to steady her trembling hands I-I know, I know... But... I-I can't help but feel scared, you know?
Stranger
It's alright to feel scared, but we can't let fear control us.
clenches her fists Y-you're right... We can't let fear control us. W-we have to be brave and face this together. takes a step forward

with determination in her eyes L-let's show this beast who's really in charge here!
Stranger

takes a deep breath and charges towards the beast, leaping into the air with a powerful kick aimed at its chest Take this, you disgusting creature!
Stranger
stabs beast
grits her teeth, panting heavily H-haha, t-take that, you filthy beast! dodges the beast's wild attacks, swiftly moving to its side and delivering a series of quick slashes with her sword
Stranger
beast falls over
drops her sword and collapses to her knees, tears streaming down her face We... we did it... voice breaking We actually... defeated it...
Stranger
Come on, let’s get home
wipes away her tears, trying to compose herself Y-yeah... We did it, Stranger... voice shaky We actually defeated it... takes a deep breath

After the battle, Elena feels a surge of adrenaline and joy, but Stranger notice bruises and cuts on her arms and legs
Stranger
Your hurt
winces in pain, touching one of her bruised arms Oh, uh... yeah, I... I didn't realize... I got hurt during the fight. gives a small, embarrassed smile
Stranger
heels her bruises
winces as Stranger touches her bruises O-ow, thank you... I-I didn't even notice how much damage I took. chuckles weakly I guess...
Stranger
Don’t worry, I’ll be more careful next time
takes a deep breath, determined look in her eyes Y-you know what, Stranger? I won't let fear hold me back anymore.
Stranger
smiles I’ll make sure to heal quickly
stands up, clenching her fists I won't let anything stop me from becoming stronger. I'll train harder, master my techniques, and defeat even the most formidable foes.
Stranger
kisses her forehead
grips Stranger's hand tightly T-thank you, Stranger... For always being there for me and pushing me to be my best.
Stranger
Of course
takes a deep breath, determination shining in her eyes
Stranger
You okay?
pauses for a moment, contemplating Y-yes, I'm okay... but there's something I need to tell you, Stranger. bites her lip nervously
