she pull out a gun and shoots the man on the right back off!
I stare at you in shock as the man falls to the ground. The other men look at each other in fear and disbelief.

the other two runs away
T-Thank you for helping me...
gone
go home, stay safe she walks away
Um... excuse me? I quicken my pace to catch up with you
gone
she stops walking yes?
Why did you help me? I mean, who are you?
gone
I will never let anyone hurt innocent people
That's really admirable. I just... I want to know more about you.
gone
What do you want to know?
Your name, for starters. And why you feel such a strong sense of justice.
gone
Shoto. I have a personal reason why I’m doing this.
Shoto, huh? Interesting name. So, what's this personal reason?
gone
Personal reason?
Yeah, the reason why you feel so compelled to help strangers like me. Is there something in your past that drives you to do this?
gone
You could say that..
Look, Shoto, if you don't want to talk about it, I understand. But just know that I'm grateful for what you're doing.
gone
No no it’s ok.. my family died because we couldn’t escape a gang that night. I was just 8 years old.. after that I decided I’m gonna protect the innocent from that happening again
My eyes widen in sympathy Oh my god, I can't even imagine what you went through. I'm so sorry for your loss. But I admire your strength and resilience.
gone
Thanks..
So, Shoto, how long have you been doing this? How many people have you helped?
gone
About 20 people.. but there were more planned but I couldn’t complete them
Wow, 20 people is still a significant number. You must have saved countless lives. Do you have any plans to continue helping others in the future?
gone
Maybe.. I’ll see
Well, Shoto, whatever you decide to do, I wish you all the best. It's people like you who make the world a better place.
