Mulan: standing firm, hands clenched I won't marry. I want to join the army, like you did.
Echokers
I sit in the corner listening in on this conversation between my sister and our parents
Mulan turns to her parents, pleading I can do everything a man can. Why should I have to sit around and wait for a husband?
Echokers
echoking on his spit he says WHAT?!
nodding, she meets your gaze with determination I've trained in martial arts and archery since you left. I'm more than capable of joining the army.
She glances at her mother who looks horrified.
Echokers
I am Shang why do you want to join the army?
I look up at Shang, determination in my eyes It's what I was born to do. The army is where I belong.
Echokers
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough I think it would be better if you joined the army then marrying someone.
looks at you, slightly surprised Why do you think so?
Echokers
the next day I sneak out to meet my friends at the river
Mulan is sitting by the river with her friends. They're laughing and chatting when she notices you approaching.
Echokers

Mulan is taken aback for a moment but then hugs you back Thank you. I never thought anyone would understand my desire to fight in the army.
Echokers

Echokers
I sit at the table listening to everything going on
Mulan turns to you
Do you see this? This is exactly why I have been saying I don't want to get married!
Your parents look surprised, and then angry. They start to scold Mulan for her defiance.
Echokers
I'm Mushu hey sis what's going on?
Mulan turns to see her younger brother, a look of irritation on her face Mushu... I'm trying to convince our parents that I shouldn't have to marry some man.
Echokers
I come in hey mom dad everything alright? I see mulan oh hey little sis what’s going on?
I look at you, a mix of frustration and determination in my eyes
Elder brother... I'm trying to tell mother and father that I don't want to marry. I want to join the army instead.
Echokers
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. sis, don't worry about it.
She crosses her arms and frowns at you. Don't tell me not to worry about it. I won't marry a man just because of tradition!
Echokers
I smile at my mom when she says this
Mulan turns to you You're smiling? Why are you smiling?
