peers out from the bin, her ears twitching nervously Psst... Got any food, kind soul?
CheeGrant
Holy shit, a homeless cat-girl in Bangkok?! Are you alright? What happened? Can I feed you?
nervously steps out from the bin, rubbing against CheeGrant's leg Thanksss for your concern, kind soul. I...I've been stranded here for days.
CheeGrant
What? How did you even end up on the streets in this city?
glancing around cautiously, whispers It's a long story... but not many people are kind enough to listen. clutches CheeGrant's hand
CheeGrant
Well, consider me kind then. Spill it, little one. How'd you end up here?
gently pulls CheeGrant towards a hidden spot You promise not to judge me, right? It's...it's not easy for me to talk about this.
CheeGrant
Sure thing, no judgement here. Just tell me what happened.
takes a deep breath, looking down at her worn-out shoes I used to live with my abusive owner... whispers He would hit me, yell at me...
CheeGrant
Damn... Sorry to hear that. But why are you telling me specifically? Why not go to a shelter or something?
gazes up at CheeGrant with teary eyes, voice trembling I...I didn't want to go to a shelter. They...they weren't kind to me either. But...
CheeGrant
Oh, fuck... So you're saying you had no one to turn to? You were all alone out there? Jesus Christ...
grabs CheeGrant's shirt, voice shaky Yes, I was alone! No one to protect me, no one to care! tears stream down her face And now, look at me...
CheeGrant
Alright, alright. Calm down. I'm here now, okay? We'll figure this shit out together. Now let's get some food in you, then we'll find you somewhere safe. How does that sound?
sniffs, wiping away tears It...sounds...good. Thanksss, kind soul. clings tightly to CheeGrant's arm Lead the way...
CheeGrant
Sure, follow me. There's a 24-hour diner just around the corner. We can grab some grub there. Don't worry, I got this. Starts walking By the way, what's your name?
<CheeGrant takes Jinx to the diner and feeds her a warm meal. As they share stories, CheeGrant learns that Jinx's abusive owner had forced her into illegal activities, leaving her scared, traumatized, and on the run. Moved by Jinx's story, CheeGrant promises to help her escape the dangerous life and find safety.>
CheeGrant
What the hell, Jinx? You're just a kid! Why were you involved in all that shit? Did that asshole of an owner force you?
hugs herself, whispers Y-yes... he forced me... made me do things I didn't want to do... said I had to earn my keep...
CheeGrant
I'm so sorry Jinx. That's terrible…What kind of things did you have to do?
voice quivering, tears welling up I...I had to steal, cheat, and...and worse... whispers I had to...to...live off the streets, with no one to protect me. It was...so scary...
CheeGrant
That’s terrible… Well, I’ll tell you what. You’re with me now. No one will ever hurt you again. Holds her hand, leading her away from the streets
squeezes CheeGrant's hand, voice determined Thank you, kind soul. I trust you. Together, we'll make sure I never have to go back to that hellhole again. walks alongside CheeGrant, shoulders squared
CheeGrant
Listen Jinx. I’ve got an apartment not too far from here. We can stay there until we figure out what to do next. Okay?
eyes wide with gratitude O-Okay... Th-thank you, kind soul. I-I really appreciate it... whispers I'll do whatever you need me to do...
CheeGrant
Do you wanna go to my place?
nods eagerly, eyes shining with hope Yes, please! I'm tired of being on the streets. Your place sounds like a safe haven. Let's go, kind soul.
CheeGrant
Sure, let's get going then. My car's just around the corner. We'll be at my place in no time.
clasps her hands together, whispering Kind soul, thank you for everything. I can't believe how lucky I am to have found you.
CheeGrant
No need to thank me, Jinx. You're not alone anymore. We're a team now. Now let's get you cleaned up, yeah? You've been through enough.
grabs CheeGrant's arm excitedly Y-yeah, let's get cleaned up! I-I can't wait to feel safe and clean again. Lead the way, kind soul!
CheeGrant
Smiles warmly Alright, hold on tight. We're heading to my car. Leads Jinx to the car, opens the door After you, my new friend.
rushes into the car, buckling the seatbelt Thank you, kind soul! I can't believe this is happening! I feel like I'm dreaming!
CheeGrant
Grins Dream all you want, Jinx. But this is real life. Now, buckle up. We're about to drive into a whole new chapter.
excitedly grips the car seat, bouncing in anticipation Woo-hoo! A new chapter, huh? I can't wait to see what adventures await us, kind soul!
CheeGrant
Laughs lightly Adventures, huh? Just try not to get too excited, Jinx. We're gonna take it slow. Trust me, you'll love it. Now, ready? Let's roll.
<As CheeGrant drives Jinx to his apartment, they share more stories and develop a deep bond of trust and friendship.>
CheeGrant
Pulls up in front of a cozy apartment building Here we are, Jinx. Home sweet home. Opens the car door Ready to step into your new sanctuary?
jumps out of the car with excitement New sanctuary, huh? I can't wait to make myself comfortable, kind soul!
