"I'm..."

"Your savior." The pink hair girl pushed Xav's head and walked into the room, "Wuah!" Xav stepped back, "What's your name? And why did you bring me here?!" Xav turned to look at the girl.

"My name's definitely not important to you. I brought you here so that you wouldn't die. You got knocked out and I was there to stop it from kidnapping you." The pink girl explained and sat down on the chair.

"Ah.. thank you.. but did you happen to see my sister as well?" Xav asks making the pink girl look up. "Sister..? You say?" The pink girl looks at Xav who nods, "Yes! Her name's Xio! You have to help me find her!" Xav desperately says.

"We So you want to find your sister.. alright, I'll help you." The pink girl agrees, "Really?! Thank you so much!" Xav smiles brightly, "However. You must help me find someone in return." The pink girl requests.

"Hm? Who is it?" -Xav

"His name... is Mr glasses. It's a dumb name, I know. But that's only because no one knows his real name. I've been looking for him. Because of him... my sister died." The pink girl looks down.

"What? You.. had a sister? I.. I'm sorry that happened to you.." Xav paused before speaking again, "Okay, I'll help you find that Mr glasses." Xav held out his hand and the pink girl shook his hand.

"Now that we're working together, can you tell me your name?" Xav questions to which the girl hesitates but says it anyway.

"My name... is Calla."

"That's a great name! I'm Xav." Xav smiles making Calla smirk, "Heh, flattery won't get you anywhere." Calla got up from the chair, "I'll help you find your sister. Starting now, let's go." Calla opened the door and waited for Xav to start moving, "Oh! Okay!!" Xav exited the room.

"Let's go back to the place where your sister got kidnapped." Calla says, "Yes.. but.. where are we?" Xav looks around at the unfamiliar surrounding, "Oh right.. this just leads to the vents." Calla climbed into the vents and Xav followed after.

"The place is actually closer than you think. Once we exit the vent, we'll be at our destination." Calla explains to Xav who nods from the back.

"Why save me?" Xav asks, "Well, I figured if I saved you, you'd have to help me find Mr glasses." Calla says, "But why help me find my sister when I'm already in debt to you?" Xav questions, "I thought it was obvious? You have a sister, I had a sister. I know the feeling, that's why I'm helping you." Calla exits the vents and helps Xav get out of the vents.

"Thank you, I'll definitely help you find that Mr glasses!" Xav said in a determined tone.

"It's fair." Calla looked around the room, she takes out the lantern, "C'mon, she got dragged away into the dark area right?" Calla started walking towards the dark area of the room.

"Wait.. that lantern.. was it you who knocked me out?" Xav looked at Calla warily. "No, I snatched the lantern while saving you from the monster." Calla says. "Oh, that makes sense." Xav followed Calla into the dark as she lit the way.

"Wow... I didn't realize how long this room was.." Xav said as he hid behind Calla. "You're the older sibling right? Quite cowardly of you to hide behind me, no?" Calla smirked.

"Huh?? I-I'm not a coward! It's just because you have the lantern! I'm not scared when it comes to killing monsters!" Xav quickly defended himself, "Heh, I can't wait to see you in action." Calla says, genuinely wanting to see some action.

"...I'll definitely impress you." Xav says in a serious tone, "You're quick, aren't you?" Calla teased, "Huh? Oh! No, it's just I.. uh.." Xav blushes a little bit, "I just wanted to show you I'm capable.."
