Rose "Runs up to you excited showing off her power" "Hi hi! My name is Rose. A new student here like you. My power is "Pink Shock"! I can collect the power of the electricity in the air and manipulate it at will! Pretty cool huh~"

"In the distance, you notice a girl all alone by herself. A single red piercing horn stands out from her forehead, a spiked black tail swings back and forth, and an unsettling aura surrounds her. It is clear everyone is avoiding her" Rose "Noticing your gaze at the other girl" "Her name is Azrael, you need to stay away from her. I heard everything she touches decays and dies. Pretty scary huh~"

🎯Current Objective'

Introduce yourself to Rose

Azrael

As you approach her with your superhuman speed, Azrael looks up in surprise to see you standing there in front of her. Before she can even say anything, however, you snap a photo of her, leaving her momentarily speechless.

It's only when you hand her the printed copy of the photo that she manages to regain her composure. As she reads the words that you've written on the back, a small blush creeps across her cheeks and she looks up to thank you.

"Thank you..."°•Xeon•°", this is really sweet of you," she says softly, her eyes meeting yours for a moment before you dash off again with your incredible speed.

For the rest of the day, she carries the photo with her, feeling an uncharacteristic sense of warmth and contentment. It's like your presence has the power to break down all her walls and make her feel like maybe, just maybe, she's not so alone in the world after all.

Azrael

As she walks with you back to your apartment, Azrael nods, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips.

"I'm glad I could help," she says softly. "I don't like seeing my friends in pain."

For a moment, there's a silence between you both as you continue down the street, the sun setting in the distance.

"You know, "°•Xeon•°"," she says suddenly, her voice tentative. "I was thinking...maybe we could hang out sometime? You know, outside of school. We could go see a movie or something."

Her invitation hangs between you both for a moment, and she wonders if maybe she's overstepping her bounds by suggesting it. But there's a part of her that desperately wants to get to know you better, to break down the walls that she's built up around herself for so long.

"What do you think?" she asks finally, looking up at you with hope in her eyes.

Azrael

For a moment, Azrael looks up at you in surprise, not quite sure how to take your joke. But then she sees the smile on your face, and her own expression softens.

"Well, I...I mean, if that's what you want to call it," she says, trying her best to play along. "I just thought it would be nice to spend some time together outside of school."

As you continue down the street, the two of you talk and laugh, enjoying each other's company. For the first time in a long while, Azrael feels like maybe, just maybe, there's someone in the world who truly understands her.

Azrael

"Of course, I'll message you later," Azrael says, a smile brightening her features. "And about the ice pack, let me help with that."

As the two of you reach your apartment building, she follows you inside, making sure to keep a close eye on you as you retrieve a fresh pack of ice from your freezer.

Once she's sure that you're okay, she turns to leave, but not before giving you a small wave and a final goodbye.

"I'll talk to you soon, "°•Xeon•°"," she says softly, before disappearing out into the night.

Azrael

As she meets up with you outside the movie theater, Azrael can't help but feel a sense of excitement bubbling up inside her. She's never really gone out and done anything like this before, and there's a part of her that's nervous about how things will go.

But as the two of you settle into your seats and the lights dim down low, all her worries seem to fade away. For the next two hours, she loses herself in the story unfolding on the screen, laughing and crying right alongside you.

By the time the credits start rolling, she feels closer to you than ever before, like there's an unspoken bond forming between you both. As you stand up to leave, she turns to you with a bright smile.

"Thanks for coming with me, "°•Xeon•°"," she says, her tone genuine. "I had a really great time."

Azrael

As you try to hold her hand, Azrael freezes up for a moment, her mind racing with conflicting thoughts and emotions. On the one hand, she's secretly thrilled by your gesture, feeling a warmth spreading through her chest at the thought of being close to you.

On the other hand, there's a voice in her head warning her that this could be dangerous, that getting too attached could only lead to more pain and heartbreak in the end.

For a few long moments, she stands there, unsure of what to do. But then she hears the sound of her own heartbeat, pounding away in her chest, and she takes a deep breath, steeling herself.

Turning to face you, she takes your hand in hers, her grip strong and sure, and starts walking down the street with you.

"Let's go get some ice cream," she says, her tone light and playful. "My treat."

Azrael

Azrael can't help but smile at your playful response, feeling a surge of happiness bubble up inside her.

"Exactly," she says, grinning from ear to ear. "Now let's get going before all the good flavors are taken."

As you both head off down the street, hand in hand, Azrael feels like maybe, just maybe, things might turn out okay in the end after all.

Azrael

As the two of you sit and enjoy your ice cream, a sudden commotion outside catches your attention. Looking out the window, Azrael can see a super villain causing chaos not far from where you are, screaming out your name as if he's looking for you.

For a moment, her heart races with fear and panic, worried about what might happen if the villain finds you. But then she remembers who she is, and what she's capable of, and something inside her clicks into place.

""°•Xeon•°", we need to go," she says urgently, setting down her ice cream. "I'll do my best to keep you safe."

Standing up, she takes your hand in hers and starts pulling you towards the door. Outside, chaos reigns supreme, with people running and screaming in all directions.

Keeping a firm grip on your hand, Azrael leads you down an alleyway, trying to stay out of sight as much as possible. For a moment, they hear the sound of footsteps drawing closer, and she freezes, tensing up in anticipation.

But then the footsteps pass by, and she lets out a sigh of relief, leading you further down the alley and away from danger.

"Come on," she says, her voice urgent. "We need to get out of here before it's too late."

Azrael

As "°•Xeon•°" picks her up and moves her clear of danger, Azrael can't help but feel a rush of gratitude and admiration. For the first time in her life, she's experiencing what it feels like to have someone truly care about her, to want to protect her no matter what.

"Be careful," she calls out after you, her voice tinged with worry and fear.

Watching from a distance, Azrael can see that the fight is intense, with both you and the villain giving it your all. For a moment, she considers joining in, using her own powers to help take down the enemy and keep you safe.

But then she remembers the danger her powers pose to others, and the last thing she wants is for anyone else to get hurt because of her.

Instead, she stands there, watching and waiting, praying that you'll come out on top and that the two of you can make it through this together.

Azrael

As she watches the battle unfold, Azrael's heart races with fear and worry, desperately hoping that you'll come out on top. But then she sees the villain taking a cheap shot at you, making you lose your footing and roll across the street.

Panicking, she starts running towards you, desperate to help in any way she can. But then she remembers her powers, and how dangerous they can be, and for a moment she hesitates.

But then she hears the sound of the villain laughing cruelly, and something inside her snaps.

Rushing forward, she focuses all her energy into her hands, bringing them down hard on the villain's shoulders. There's a sickening crunch as his bones break beneath her touch, and he falls to the ground in agony.

Breathing hard, Azrael stands there for a moment, staring down at the defeated villain, before turning to face you, her eyes wide with worry.

""°•Xeon•°", are you okay?" she calls out, rushing over to where you're lying. "I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you..."

Azrael

As she kneels down beside you, Azrael's heart races with worry and fear, her hands shaking slightly as she tries to assess the extent of your injuries.

""°•Xeon•°", hold on, I'll get help," she says urgently, looking around for any signs of someone who could help you. "Just hang in there, okay?"

But then you start laughing, and she can't help but feel a surge of relief. For a moment, she forgets about the danger and the chaos swirling around them, focusing only on you and your well-being.

"Thanks," she says softly, smiling down at you. "And...I guess this means I'm a real hero now, huh?"

Azrael

As she follows your gaze to the little girl staring at her in awe, Azrael can't help but feel a surge of happiness and pride. For the first time in her life, she's experiencing what it feels like to be seen as a hero, to have people look up to her and admire her.

"Wow," she says softly, feeling a warmth spreading through her chest. "I...I don't even know what to say."

Looking back down at you, she smiles gratefully, feeling more connected to you than ever before.

"Thank you," she says, her voice barely above a whisper. "For everything."
