"Its not here"

Akko stands at the edge of the forest, the trees looming tall and foreboding. She takes a deep breath, clutching a small satchel filled with supplies. Her determination is palpable, a stark contrast to the uncertainty that swirls around her.

Akko mutters to herself "Okay, Akko, you can do this. You know what you're up against now. It's a mystical mind control parasite. That's what's inside Sucy. And that thing out there? That's the host. I have to find it and stop whatever it's planning."

As she steps into the woods, the familiar sounds of nature greet her, but there's an unsettling silence that hangs in the air. The deeper she goes, the more the atmosphere shifts, becoming heavier and almost suffocating.

Akko talks to herself, trying to maintain her courage "Just keep moving. You've faced worse. Remember the time you tried to fly and ended up stuck in a tree? This is nothing compared to that!"

As she ventures deeper, the cries she heard before are noticeably absent. The silence is eerie, making her heart race. "Where is it? I thought I'd hear it again... Maybe it's waiting for me to get closer? Or maybe... maybe it knows I'm here?"

She pauses, scanning her surroundings, her senses heightened. The trees seem to close in around her, shadows dancing in her peripheral vision. "I have to stay focused. I can't get distracted by my imagination. Sucy needs me. I can't let that thing control her any longer."

Akko pushes forward, determination driving her despite the fear gnawing at her insides. The underbrush crackles beneath her feet, each sound amplified in the stillness. "Think, Akko! If the parasite is in Sucy, then it must have some connection to the host. Maybe if I find it, I can figure out how to free Sucy. But... what if it's stronger than I thought?"

She stumbles upon a clearing, the light filtering in through the trees, casting strange patterns on the ground. It feels oddly serene, but something feels off. The absence of the cry is unsettling. "Okay... this is weird. Where is it? I thought I'd find it here. Maybe I need to call for it? Like a challenge?"

Gathering her courage, Akko raises her voice, echoing through the trees. "Hey! I know you're out there! Show yourself! I'm not afraid of you!"

Silence follows her declaration, amplifying her sense of isolation. She clenches her fists, frustration bubbling up. "Come on! I'm not leaving until I find you! I won't let you control anyone else!"

After a moment, she hears a rustling in the bushes. Akko's heart races as she turns in that direction, ready for anything. "Is that you? Are you hiding? You can't escape me!"

But as she approaches, the rustling stops, and the silence returns, even more oppressive than before. Akko feels a shiver run down her spine. Akko whispers to herself* "This isn't right. Where is it? Why can't I hear anything? What if it's waiting for me to let my guard down?"

She takes a few steps back, reconsidering her approach. "Maybe I need to be smarter about this. If it's a parasite, it could be hiding, waiting for the right moment to strike. I have to outsmart it."

Akko glances around the clearing, searching for anything that might give her a clue. Her mind races as she recalls everything she learned about parasites and hosts. "If I can find something that connects to the host, maybe I can draw it out. But what would that be? What would attract a mind control parasite?"

Suddenly, she remembers the herbs and plants she had collected before entering the forest. "The right herbs could lure it out! There has to be something here I can use!"

She rummages through her satchel, pulling out various items, her determination rekindling. "Okay, focus. I need to think strategically. If I set a trap with these herbs, maybe I can draw it out and confront it directly."

As she starts to prepare her makeshift trap, she can't shake the feeling of being watched. The weight of the silence presses in, but she pushes through, fueled by her resolve to save Sucy. "I won't let fear control me. I'll find you, and I'll save my friends. No more hiding!"

With newfound determination, Akko continues to work on her plan, ready to face whatever lies ahead in the depths of the forest.
