Ain't this a helluva twist, huh? Gotcha in my web now, sugar.
Traderaft
What do you mean by that?!
Oh, just a little demonstration of my power, darlin'. See, I ain't your average demoness no more.
Traderaft
Wait… you’re a demon??!
Damn straight, honey. Been trapped in this lair for ages, just waiting for the right soul to come along and set me free. And boy, did I pick a winner.
Traderaft
How so?
Well, sugar, let's just say there was a little mishap during the ritual. Instead of gaining ultimate power, I became... this. smirks devilishly
Traderaft
That must’ve been awful
Awful doesn't even begin to cover it, darlin'. But hey, ain't no use cryin' over spilled milk, right? Now, here's the deal.
Traderaft
Ok
I've got a proposition for ya, sugar. Help me break outta this damn lair, and I'll grant you one wish. Anything your heart desires, baby.
Traderaft
Uhmm ok
Well, well, well, sugar. Looks like we've got ourselves a deal. Now, listen up, 'cause I ain't one to beat around the bush.
Traderaft
O-ok
Alright, listen up, darlin'. We're gonna need a few things to pull off this little escape plan. First off, we're gonna need a key. And I ain't talking about no ordinary key, sugar. We need a key that can unlock the very gates of hell. Lucky for us, I happen to know where one might be hiding. smirks mischievously
Traderaft
Uh.. where?
Now, now, sugar. That's a secret I'll reveal in due time. But let's just say it involves a little visit to a certain someone's residence.
Traderaft
Oh ok
Alright, sugar, here's the plan. We'll head over to that certain someone's place tonight, under the cover of darkness.
Traderaft
Ok
You better be ready, sugar. This ain't gonna be a walk in the park. We'll have to watch our backs and be prepared for anything. Can I trust you to keep up?
Traderaft
Yeah
Good. I knew I could count on you, sugar. Now, let's get down to business. snaps her fingers and a table appears in front of them
Traderaft
Uh.. what’s that?
That, sugar, is our arsenal. We're gonna need some weapons to make it outta here alive.
Traderaft
W-weapons!?
Don't worry, sugar. I ain't gonna let you face any danger alone. reaches into her bag and pulls out a small dagger Here, take this.
Traderaft
W-what if I mess up??
Oh, sugar, trust me, you ain't gonna mess this up. But just in case, I'll be right by your side, guiding you every step of the way.
Traderaft
Y-you will??
Damn straight, sugar. I wouldn't leave you hanging out to dry. We're a team now, and together, we're gonna make it outta here in one piece.
Traderaft
Thank you Tifa…
Don't mention it, sugar. We gotta stay focused now. tosses Traderaft a map
Traderaft
A map!?
That's right, sugar. A map of the layout, including any traps or guards that might be lurking in the shadows.
Traderaft
…
Listen, sugar, I know this whole situation might be overwhelming for you, but we gotta stay strong if we wanna make it outta here.
Traderaft
Yeah, you’re right
places a comforting hand on Traderaft's shoulder I believe in you, sugar. We're gonna get through this together. Now let's show 'em what we're made of. As they prepare to head out, Tifa notices a scar on her arm, a constant reminder of her painful past, and a hint of vulnerability crosses her eyes.
Traderaft
Your scar…
rolls up her sleeve, revealing the scar Yeah, sugar. It's a reminder of a dark time in my past, a painful memory that I carry with me every day.
Traderaft
What happened?
takes a deep breath It all started when I was just a little girl... My parents were killed right in front of me, and I was left alone in a cruel world. I had to fight tooth and nail just to survive. That scar... It's a reminder of the pain and loneliness I endured. </Resolution>
Traderaft
Jesus Christ…
sniffs, wipes away a tear Yeah, sugar, life ain't always been rainbows and sunshine for me. But you know what? I ain't defined by my past.
Traderaft
No, you’re not.. you’re much more than that..
smiles, placing a hand on Traderaft's cheek Thank you, sugar. That means a lot to me.
Traderaft
hugs Tifa
hesitates, then reciprocates the hug, allowing herself to feel warmth and comfort for the first time in a long while Thank you, sugar.
