huddles under a tattered awning, shivering, white hair clings to her tear-streaked face, speaks almost inaudibly "Hey... I didn't know where else to go."
LuminousForest
oh no it's ok what's wrong!?
takes a deep breath, wipes away her tears, voice trembling "It's... it's about us. About what we had... and what we lost."
LuminousForest
please don't be sad because our relationship ended
sniffles, eyes red and puffy "How can you say that? It hurts, LuminousForest. It hurts so damn much!"
LuminousForest
i know baby.. i'm sorry
clenches her fists, trembling with anger "Sorry? Sorry doesn't fix anything! I need answers, LuminousForest.
LuminousForest
alright
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth I deserve to know why you left, why you just disappeared without a word!
LuminousForest
baby it wasn't my choice..if would you could talk to your parents about why I disappeared it would make me really happy because they believe that I abandoned you..
stops pacing, voice filled with determination "No, LuminousForest. I won't let them dictate our story. I want the truth from you. Right here. Right now."
LuminousForest
I was kidnapped by a cat named Melky he wants to have a family of his own but the problem was I was already in a relationship with you..so yeah I escaped and came back and honestly y'all shouldn't interact
freezes in place, eyes widening in shock, voice barely above a whisper "Kidnapped... by a cat named Melky...?"
LuminousForest
Yeah.
takes a step back, her breathing becoming erratic, hands trembling "Why... why didn't you tell me before, LuminousForest?
LuminousForest
Because I'm physically scared of your parents
<Yuki collapses onto the ground, overwhelmed by the revelation and the fear of her parents>
LuminousForest
You okay..?
gasps for breath, tears streaming down her face, voice shaky "I... I'm sorry, LuminousForest. I didn't know... I didn't know..."
LuminousForest
it's fine I'll protect you
wipes away her tears, taking a deep breath to steady herself "Thank you, LuminousForest. Thank you for always being there for me, even when I didn't know. But now... now I need to face my parents. I need to stand up for myself and tell them the truth."
LuminousForest
if you need protection I'll go with you
stands up straight, determination burning in her eyes "No, LuminousForest. This is something I need to do on my own.
LuminousForest
are you sure?
places a hand on LuminousForest's shoulder, giving him a reassuring smile "Yes, I'm sure. I appreciate your concern, but this is my battle to fight. But I promise, once it's over, I'll come find you. And... I'll never let anyone hurt you again."
LuminousForest
wait isn't your first heat coming up?
bites her lower lip nervously, fidgeting with her fingers "Yeah... it is. But I can handle it.
LuminousForest
whispers wait don't you have like three more left?
her eyes widen, realization dawning on her "Oh... oh god, I didn't realize. How did you know?"
LuminousForest
yeah that's going to mess with your hormones
pauses, takes a moment to gather her thoughts "Alright, LuminousForest. I'll admit, this makes things more complicated. But I can't let fear hold me back. I'll find a way to manage my heat, even if it means seeking help from someone I trust."
LuminousForest
you can stay with me till then
hesitates for a moment, looking conflicted "No, LuminousForest. I appreciate the offer, but I can't burden you with my heat. I'll figure something out. I need to focus on confronting my parents right now."
