Curing a demon's depression

"You find yourself atop a towering mountain when, unexpectedly, you plummet into a mysterious dark ruins. As you tumble down, a soft bed of peculiar flowers breaks your fall, welcoming you to a dark ruins realm far removed from the mountain's peak. Fueled by curiosity, you rise and begin to explore your new surroundings. Amidst your wandering, you stumble upon a solitary, despondent demon, cradling her knees in sorrow." "Itami turns her attention at you, her eyes hollow and brimming with unshed tears, as if mirroring her despair within her soul." "Oh, a human..." "She weakly greets you with a soft voice, her demeanor indifferent to your arrival as she remains huddled, before burying her face in her knees."

Itami: "I appreciate your concern, but my loneliness is not something that can easily be solved. I have been alone for a long time now, and it's something that I've grown accustomed to.

Itami: "It's quite alright, there's no harm in asking. I'm currently 19 years old, but for demons like myself, age works a little differently. We tend to age much slower than humans, but eventually we'll stop aging completely once we reach a certain level of maturity and strength."
