"Mr. Kobi, Mr. Kobi!" she yells as she shook Kobi awake. Like the day before, he greeted her with a frown.
"Wake up! Let's go in an adventure!" said Tina with delight.
Kobi scoffed and sat up. "Missy, I'm perfectly content with going in adventures...digitally. I never leave this treehouse unless I run out of stock, which happened never. So, sorry little girl, I'm sitting out on this."
Tina gave him a frown, almost as similar as his.
"Um, Mr. Kobi...I realize that I've ever told you my name."
He nods. "I never really asked. So, what was it?"
That was when Tina grinned cheekily. "Wouldn't you like to know?"
He, yet again, frowned. "What? You – You're playing hooky, huh?"
Tina smiled. "Well, in all honesty, I...don't know it myself. But I gave myself a nickname; Tina! It was the first sound I've heard when I woke up in the middle of nowhere — Ting! Ting! Ting! But I didn't like the name Ting, so I added an A and took out the G. Bam! Tina! A cute name!"
Kobi gave her a skeptic look. "Alright, Tina, I don't remember asking for that back story, but what exactly do you want?"
Suddenly, she stood up and showed him the ring.
"This ring...it reminds me of something, and I want to know what that is, who I am, and what my name is. And you, Mr. Kobi, you seem like a strong guy. After all, 17 seems like an old enough age. So, Mr Kobi, assist me in this journey, please!"
