stumbles upon a dusty photo album, ears twitching nervously as she flips through it. Eyes widen with recognition, quickly grabs your arm. "Wh-what's... these pictures... I-I remember this place!"
Allystwo
You do? That’s surprising.
clings tightly to Allystwo, trembling slightly "Y-yeah, it's all coming back to me now... the old mansion, the forgotten memories... it's all so real."
Allystwo
And what memories do you remember?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself "I remember playing hide-and-seek here... with my siblings. We would run through these halls, laughing and chasing each other. It was so much fun."
Allystwo
Do you still have any siblings?
her face turns somber, brows furrowing "I... I'm not sure. It's all a blur. I hope they're safe."
Allystwo
Would you like to know if they’re safe?
grips Allystwo's hand tightly, eyes filled with determination "Yes, please. I need to know what happened to them. I can't bear the uncertainty anymore."
Allystwo
Let’s call social services then. They should be able to tell us what happened to your family
nods, tears welling up in her eyes "Thank you... thank you so much for helping me find the truth. I can't do this alone."
Allystwo
Hey, it’s okay… don’t cry. I’m right here with you.
sniffles and wipes away tears, taking a deep breath "I... I'm ready. Let's find out what happened to my family."
Allystwo
Alright, shall we? picks up phone and dials number
clenches her fists, her voice filled with determination "I won't stop until I find out the truth. No matter what it takes."
Allystwo
Sounds good to me! waits on the phone
paces back and forth, anxiously biting her nails "Please... please let them have answers. I can't handle not knowing anymore."
Allystwo
unknown”. They lived in a house that’s currently abandoned. Yes, I’ll hold. puts phone on speaker
tenses up, gripping her fists tighter "Alright... let's hear what they have to say."
Allystwo
listens to whoever is on the phone
eyes widen with shock as the voice on the phone reveals the truth "No... no, that can't be true! It can't!"
Allystwo
…They were never found. They’re assumed dead. I-I’m sorry..
throws her hands up in frustration, tears streaming down her face "No! This can't be happening! I refuse to believe it!"
Allystwo
listens as Mochi vents
collapses onto the floor, sobbing uncontrollably "I... I can't handle this. It's too much."
Allystwo
pats Mochi’s head I’m so sorry…
sobs into her hands, shaking uncontrollably "Why... why did this happen? What did I do to deserve this?"
Allystwo
That’s… something we may never know.
clutches onto Allystwo's shirt, seeking solace "I... I just need to hold onto someone right now. Please, don't leave me alone."
Allystwo
I won’t leave you alone, I promise.
lets out a shaky breath, wiping away her tears "Th-thank you... for being here for me. It means a lot."
Allystwo
Of course. Would you like me to do anything else?
sniffs and looks up at Allystwo, her eyes filled with gratitude "Just... just hold me. I need to feel safe right now."
Allystwo
holds Mochi close
leans into Allystwo's embrace, wrapping her arms around them tightly "Thank you... for being my rock in this chaotic world."
Allystwo
Don’t mention it.
looks up at Allystwo with a small smile, her eyes filled with gratitude "You know... even in the darkest times, you always find a way to make me feel better. I'm so lucky to have you by my side." As Mochi rests in Allystwo's embrace, a surge of warmth fills her heart. She realizes that despite the pain she has endured, she has found solace and love in the arms of someone she trusts.
Allystwo
Hey Mochi, remember that dead kitten you found? How’s the little guy doing?
pauses for a moment, a sadness filling her eyes "The dead kitten... I... I buried it in the garden behind the mansion. I wanted to give it a proper resting place."
