Curiosity killed the cat, but Perseverance brought it back

Curiosity killed the cat...

Staring down at the hole in Mt. Ebott that leads Underground is a human girl. Brown long hair, blue eyes; wearing a purple sweater with a cyan V shaped stripe, white pants and black boots. She's deep in thought, not noticing someone else who approaches her.

"Uh... hi?" They call out. But the girl doesn't respond. "Hello?" They call again, tapping her shoulder.

She jolts out of her thoughts and stares at the other. It's another human, a boy, a bit taller than her, black hair, purple and red eyes; wearing a gray mask, purple hoodie, gray pants and black shoes.

"O-oh! Hi there! I- didn't see you, sorry, haha..." she quickly greets him, smiling.

"It's alright, don't worry about it!" He smiles back, though wearily. "I'm Craig, what's your name?"

"Yuna" the girl responds. "Why... are you all the way up here?"

"I was gonna ask the same thing!" The other chuckles with a smirk. "But if you must know, I live uh-... nearby, yea... A-and you?"

"I was just uhhh..." Yuna looks around, trying to find a good excuse. "Admiring... the view! Yea!"

Both stare at eachother awkwardly for a moment. Before Craig sighs, understanding that both of them aren't saying the whole truth.

"Ok, we're both lying aren't we..." He admits. The other nods at this statement.

"But you lied first, so you tell your truth first!" She determines.

"Understandable" he shrugs. "Well, I don't really live near the mountain, I live in the mountain. ...now you tell your truth."

The girl looks down the hole again. "...I kinda wanted to go down there..." she mumbles.

"...That's your secret-?" He tilts his head, surprised.

"I- I thought you'd think I was suicidal for wanting to go down there, haha-..." she explains quickly, rubbing the back of her head.

"It's alright, I'll even take you down there-"

"YOU'RE GONNA TAKE ME DOWN THERE REALLY?!" Yuna suddenly gets very excited... is that normal?

. . .
"Yea- but you've gotta answer some questions first, they're easy questions" he continues speaking, smiling.

"O-okay! I'll answer them!" She nods enthusiastically.

"Okay" he hums. "First question: Did you get a sense of deja-vu when you got up here?" He starts. The other shakes her head.

He hums in approval before continuing. "This next one is important, so be honest! Are you a kind person?"

At that, the girl hesitates before answering. "I... think I am...? I mean, I doubt others would think so, but I consider myself so" she mumbles.

"Well, so far I agree with you!" He smiles. "So, next question. How good are your people skills?"

"Uhm... I don't think they're very good, given how the people in my village avoid me all the time" she shrugs a bit.

"Ok, that's alright!" He says. "Next one........ Okay, are you prone to getting scared by different or unusual things?"

She instantly perks up, smiling. "Not at all! I actually love to find and learn about different things! You see, there's so much stuff to see and-" Yuna starts rambling on and on...

Surprisingly, Craig listens, patiently, as the other speaks rapidly and excitedly about her love for discovery and exploration. That is until she stops talking all of a sudden, realizing what she was doing.

"...sorry, I got carried away, haha-..." she rubs the back of her head, embarrassed.

"It's okay haha! I do that too sometimes" he chuckles. "Anyways, final question: If I bring you down there, will you keep everything a secret? You can't tell a single SOUL. Ever."

She nods eagerly. "I promise not to tell anyone!" She smiles widely.

"Okay then, let's go! It's a safe fall, but it'll hurt if you land wrong" he explains, before getting close to the hole and jumping in. "WHEEEEEEEEeeeeeee........" his voice fades away with the distance.

"CRAIG!" Yuna rushes to peek inside to see if he's okay, but ends up falling in aswell. "AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa...."
