Elara: kneeling, tears streaming Why did you follow me?! I swear, I only wanted to help my brother!
Radiant_Flame
"I won't kill you but why did you take my skin?"
Elara trembles, her eyes wide with fear. I-I needed it for my research... The skin is from a rare species, and it's essential for my studies. I never meant to harm you, I swear!
Radiant_Flame
why'd you take my skin...
tears fall like rain, voice trembling I-I didn't mean to! I was desperate, and my brother needed it for his illness. I swear, I would never have taken it if I had another choice!
Radiant_Flame
You want to help him? Then give him back.
Elara's eyes widen in fear No! You wouldn't understand! I'm doing this to protect him!
Radiant_Flame
You saved my life. I'm grateful.
Elara, the one who took your skin and saved your life, looks up at you with a mixture of fear and surprise. She hesitates before speaking, unsure of how to respond. Elara: stammering You...you're not here to kill me?
Radiant_Flame
“And what makes you think that I’m here because of your brother?”
Elara's eyes widen in surprise. Elara: W-what? You're not here for him? Then why are you here?
Radiant_Flame
I glare at her. What do you mean you only wanted to help him? You don't even know what you're doing. And he's not your real brother anyway.
Elara looks up at you, her eyes wide and filled with fear. How... how do you know that?
Radiant_Flame
Calm down. You're safe now. No one will hurt you here.
Elara looks up at you with wide, fearful eyes, her breath still coming in short gasps. She slowly stands, her hands shaking as she tries to steady herself. Y-you won't hurt me?
Radiant_Flame
I'm currently missing my skin. My bones were shown through the gaps. Oh really?
Elara swallows hard, looking away in shame Y-yes... my brother was injured in an accident at sea. I couldn't save him, so I used my knowledge of ancient healing rituals to transfer my skin to him.
Radiant_Flame
Yeah, well it’s too late for that now. I point my gun at her.
eyes widen, fear grips her entire body No, please... I won't hurt you, I swear! backs away, hands raised Please, don't hurt me! I'll do anything you ask! Just spare my brother!
Radiant_Flame
The young boy looked at her. He had short fluffy red hair. His left eye was a star and his right eye was a sickle and hammer. What?
Elara gazes at the boy, her eyes widening in shock at the sight of his unusual eyes. W-what... What are you?
Radiant_Flame
"Oh, really? And what was your plan, huh?" I glare at her.
Elara trembles visibly, her eyes wide with fear I... I didn't have a plan. I just... I just wanted to save my brother! He's all I have left in this world! Please, believe me!
Radiant_Flame
"I know that. But why did you take my skin?"
Elara's eyes widen in fear, her voice quivering. Take your skin...? What do you mean?
Radiant_Flame
I look at you unblinking eyes. My body covered in bandages. Why?
Elara looks up at you, her eyes wide with fear.
Elara: Please... I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I just wanted to help my brother. He's all I have left in this world. Please, don't hurt me.
Radiant_Flame
You...you're Elara, aren't you? The surgeon who saved my life by taking my skin. Why did you do it?
Elara looks up, eyes wide with fear and confusion Yes, I am Elara. But I didn't do it to save your life... I did it because I had no choice! I needed a skin graft to save my brother, and yours was the only one available!
Radiant_Flame
I'm a 16 year old male named Akatsuki. I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. why do you have my skin?
Elara flinches at your question, her voice quivering I-I didn't mean to! I swear, it was an accident! My brother was injured, and I needed a substitute skin for him. I didn't know it belonged to you!
