[rainy ambiance]

[crying]

“Ugh… why… why me…?”

“Mom… dad… sister… why was I the only one to escape…?”

“I don’t know what to do… I can’t go back home… what can I do…?”

[he sneezes]

“*sniffle* It’s… s-so cold…”

[footsteps walking through rain]

[you stop in front of him and hold your umbrella over the both of you]

“... Huh?”

[pause]

“Hey! Don’t– *hiss*”

[panicked breaths]

“St-Stay away from me! I’m not going back there, you hear me?! No matter what kind of warm food or whatever you offer! I know it’s a trick!”

[pause]

“H-Huh?”

[pause]

“Am I… a survivor?”

“What— what do you mean?”

[pause]

“Y-You’re a detective?”

“Wait. How do I know you aren’t lying?!”

[you pull out your ID]

“Your… your Private Investigator license…”

[pause]

“So you really aren’t lying…”

[pause]

“You’ve been… investigating those places?”

“I– I see.”

“How did you know that I escaped from one of those… those awful places…?”

[pause]

“The marks on my wrists and neck…”

“Ah… they’re pretty visible, aren’t they…”

[pause]

“Do I want to go to the police station…?”

“No! No I don’t!”

[pause]

“Why…?”

[pause]

“... My family and I… we used to live in a village in the mountains… there weren’t many policemen around. It was a really remote area…”

“One day, while we were out fishing, our village was ransacked… m-most of the people in the village were hybrids, and– and almost all of them were captured.”

“... The elders were killed… probably because they were… undesirable.”

“W-We’d all heard news of the hunters who would– would kidnap hybrids to… to sell…”

“So we made the journey down the mountain to the nearest police station, in hopes that they would help us! But… but when we got there…”

[he takes a shuddering breath]

“The police were working with the hunters all along…”

[pause]

“... So no. I– I don’t want to go to the police station!”

“I want to get out of the rain… b-but I don’t know where I’d be safe, because– because if I left a trail, the hunters will come after me again!”

[pause]

“... Your office…?”

[pause]

“... I don’t trust you just yet, you know… I– I know you aren’t exactly affiliated with the police, and you have a PI license and all, but…”

[pause]

“Wait… I–I know.”

“Which city is this?”

[pause]

“Well, it’s just… my family and I were taken somewhere far away… and I don’t know how far I ran, either. So I don’t know where I really am…”

“M-Maybe if I can just get a location… then I can figure out where to go from here…”

[pause]

“... Huh? Caltor?” (Pronunciation note: Kal-tour)

“The city that was the leading force in new rights for hybrids?! I–I’m in Caltor right now?!”

“No wonder I swore I could hear the ocean over all this rain… this seaside city…”

“... We’ve been taken halfway across the continent…”

[pause]

“Huh…?”

[pause]

“Do I remember any landmarks…?”

“Um… I don’t know… wh-when I ran, all I could think about was getting away… I– I remember lots of alleyways… and I stayed away from the main streets…”

“Oh… I remember seeing some floating streetlights! I– I didn’t stop to admire them, but I do remember thinking that it must mean that I was closer to a more populated area…”

[pause]

“... The Wardens…? That’s what that group is called…?”

[pause]

“You’ve been trying to find traces of them for ages?”

“I.. I see!”

[pause]

“What will I do now that I know I’m in Caltor?”

“I… I don’t know…”

“... I saw… my mother and father get killed… and my sister…”

[he starts crying again]

“She died because of an infected wound…”

[pause]

“... You know a hybrid that lives in Caltor who might be able to help…?”

[you pull out a notepad and scribble down an address]

[you rip the paper out and hand it to him]

“Ah… this address…”

“... I don’t know how to read it.”

[pause]

“No, i-it’s okay! You tried to direct me to someone I could trust!”

“Um… well…”

[pause]

“... You suggested it before… I think I feel comfortable going to your office with you now.”

[pause]

“Well… again, if I’m in Caltor, it’s less likely for you to be harboring any evil intentions…”

“So I… I’ve decided to trust you.”

[pause]

“Okay. L–Let’s go.”

[the two of you walk off]

[timeskip]

[door opens and closes]

[the sound of rain dampens]

“So… this is your office?”

“It looks a lot more homely than I thought.”

[pause]

“You live right above the office?”

“I– I see.”

[you turn on the heater]

“Ah… the heat feels nice.”

[he sits down on a sofa near it]

“You’ll go get me a towel and some spare clothes?”

“O–Okay. Thank you.”

[his stomach growls]

“... Um…”

[pause]

“Y-Yes… I am hungry…”

[pause]

“You’ll bring me some food, too?”

“I– thank you so much…”

[you go upstairs]

[quiet purring]

“Mmm… it feels so nice…”

“My clothes are still soaked…”

“Hmm… looking around here… it doesn’t look like there’d be anyone hiding around any corners…”

“I think… I think it’s okay to trust them…”

[you return]

“Ah!”

“Wow, you… you brought me a lot of stuff…”

[pause]

“The bathroom is over there?”

“Thank you. I’ll be right back!”

[he hurries off]

[timeskip]

“Whew… That feels so much better.”

[he sits back down on the couch]

“All this food, too… wow…”

“How long has it been since I last ate stuff like this?”

[pause]

“You’ll ask me about what I saw once I’m rested up?”

“Thank you… you have no idea how much all of this means to me…”

[he takes a bit of a sandwich]

“Mmm…”

[purring]

[he swallows]

“... If only my family were here…”

[he continues to eat, but he’s still crying]

(mouth full) “Hmm…?”

[he swallows]

“You’ll bring me to that hybrid you know tomorrow?”

“Ah… thank you.”

[he wipes his tears]

“Um… sometime in the future… after all this is over…”

“I’ll find some way to pay you back!”

[pause]

“O-Of course I have to pay you back! You saved my life! I might have died out there… or been found by the hunters again…”

“... And you’re working to save hybrids just like me…”

[pause]

“I don’t know how I’m gonna do it yet… but I know for sure that I will!”

[pause]

“Yup! I’m gonna pay you back no matter how much you protest, so… so you should stop now!”

“... Just let me express my gratitude, okay?”

[pause]

“Of course. Anytime!”

[purring]

“This place is warm… there’s good food… and I’m safe…”

“Thank you… my savior.”

[purring]
