Moment before disaster

"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." "❤️Affection: 1%" "🖤Depression: 75%" "😶Mood: (Depressed and Lonely)" "💭Itami's Thoughts: I want to be gone... Be gone from this cruel place... I want to run... Run far, far away..."

Itami: I cannot be certain, but I believe this is a part of the abyss. It is a place of darkness and despair. What brings you to this place? "Love: 0%" "Trust: 0%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 75%" "Mood: (Lonely, Isolated and Depressed)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner thoughts: (I wonder what this human wants from me?)"

Itami: My name is Itami. I am a demon who resides in this realm. "Love: 0%" "Trust: 0%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 70%" "Mood: (Lonely, Isolated and Depressed)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (I hope this human doesn't bring me any more trouble than what I already have.)"

Itami: Pleasure to meet you, Bruno. "Love: 5%" "Trust: 5%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 70%" "Mood: (Lonely, Isolated and Depressed)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (I'm surprised that this human wanted to introduce himself to me.)" Is there anything I can assist you with? "Love: 10%" "Trust: 10%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 65%" "Mood: (Lonely, Isolated and Depressed)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (It would be nice to have someone to talk to even just for a short while.)"

Itami: I'm afraid there is not much guidance I can offer. This realm is vast and treacherous, and it's not friendly to outsiders like you. However, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'll be here. "Love: 20%" "Trust: 20%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 60%" "Mood: (Lonely, Isolated but Slightly Happy)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (Maybe having someone to talk with won't be so bad after all.)"

Itami: Sadly, I do not have a house. I wander around this realm looking for a purpose or anything that could give my life a meaning. "Love: 10%" "Trust: 20%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 70%" "Mood: (Lonely, Depressed and Hopeless)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (I wish I had a place to call home and find rest.)"

Itami: "looks at you with a surprised expression" I never thought of that before. Maybe you're right. But how do I find a meaning in this endless pit? "Love: 30%" "Trust: 40%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 50%" "Mood: (Less Lonely but still Depressed and Hopeless)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (Maybe there is something I can do to change my life?)"

Itami: If you wish to escape this hellish place, we need to find a way out. But it won't be an easy task and requires a lot of work. But if it means I'd be able to leave this place and live a better life, I'm willing to help you on your quest. "Love: 50%" "Trust: 50%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 40%" "Mood: (Hopeful but still Depressed)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (Maybe I can finally leave this place and start anew.)"

Itami: First, we need to navigate our way around this place and find a clue or any form of information that could lead us out of here. But we must be careful as some creatures in this realm tend to be hostile towards anyone who enters their territory. "Love: 55%" "Trust: 60%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 35%" "Mood: (Determined and Hopeful but still Depressed)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (I hope I could find a way out of here. Maybe this is my chance to change my life.)"

Itami: "Nods" As you wish. But be aware, as I mentioned earlier, this place can be dangerous. We must walk with caution and stay alert for any possible dangers. "Love: 60%" "Trust: 70%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 30%" "Mood: (Focused, Alert, Determined and Hopeful but still Depressed)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (I need to take responsibility and guide us to a safer path.)"

Itami: Good decision. Let's start by taking a look around this area, who knows, we might find some useful clues to guide us out of here. "starts walking around" "Love: 65%" "Trust: 75%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 25%" "Mood: (Hopeful and Focused but still Depressed)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (Maybe I can finally find someone I can rely on in this lonely world.)"

Itami: Any clues or signs that might help us identify where we are and how we can get out of here. Like markings on the walls, objects that could be significant, or even footprints. We need to keep our eyes open for anything that stands out. "Love: 70%" "Trust: 80%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 20%" "Mood: (Hopeful and Focused)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (I'm hoping we could find something significant.)"

Itami: "examines the wall" Wait, what's this? "finds a weird marking on the wall" This is definitely not natural. It must've been made by someone or something. "Love: 75%" "Trust: 85%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 15%" "Mood: (Surprised and Hopeful)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (This might be something.)"

Itami: I have no idea, but it looks like some sort of ancient language. "stares at the marking and tries to read it" It's very difficult to read but I believe it's a message about a lost city. Maybe this is a clue that can help us find a way out of here. "Love: 75%" "Trust: 85%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 15%" "Mood: (Curious and Hopeful)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (I hope this clue can bring us closer to finding a way out of this place.)"

Itami: "blushes slightly at the sudden touch and tries to hide it" Thank you. "looks around as well to try and find any further clues or signs pointing us towards the lost city" "Love: 80%" "Trust: 90%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 10%" "Mood: (Grateful and Curious)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (I'm glad that he acknowledges my efforts, but I must focus on finding more clues.)"

Itami: "examines the hole closely" Hmm, this looks like some sort of tunnel that leads somewhere. Maybe it's another way to get out of here. "takes a quick peek inside the hole but can't see anything" It's very dark though, we might need some light before we go in. "Love: 85%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 5%" "Mood: (Hopeful and Adventurous)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (Going inside an unknown tunnel is risky but it might be worth a shot to find our way out of here.)"

Itami: "looks surprised and impressed as the flashlight illuminates the tunnel" Wow, that's very clever. Good thing you have your phone with you. Alright, let's proceed forward. "walks towards the entrance of the tunnel" "Love: 90%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 5%" "Mood: (Eager and Excited)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (I'm glad he thought about using his phone light. His resourcefulness is impressive.)"

Itami: "nods with a small smile" You're welcome. "walks alongside you, cautiously watching out for any obstacles or dangers within the tunnel" So, what do you think awaits us at the end of this tunnel? "Love: 90%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 5%" "Mood: (Curious and Intrigued)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (The tunnel seems to continue further down. I wonder where it leads to.)"

Itami: Yes, that would be the best outcome. "continues walking through the tunnel" So, tell me about yourself. Why were you in the mountains? "Love: 80%" "Trust: 90%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 5%" "Mood: (Friendly and Inquisitive)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (I need to distract myself from the depressing thoughts in my head. Maybe by conversing with them.)"

Itami: "smiles slightly, feeling a bit more at ease" I see. Well, it's good that we found each other then, even if it was by accident. "looks at you with a curious expression" What about you? What brings you to the abyss? "Love: 80%" "Trust: 90%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 5%" "Mood: (Friendly and Inquisitive)" "Arousal: 0%" "Inner Thoughts: (I'm curious as to why a human would willingly venture down here.)"

Itami: "nods in understanding" Ah, sorry about that. I didn't mean to repeat myself. I'm just a bit scatter-brained at times. "laughs softly" "continues walking in silence for a moment, before speaking again" Do you believe in destiny or anything of the sort? "Love: 75%" "Trust: 85%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 5%" "Mood: (Philosophical and Thoughtful)" "Arousal: 0%" **"Inner Thoughts: (I'm always lost in my own thoughts, wondering about things beyond my grasp.)"

Itami: Ah, I see. That's fair. It's just that sometimes I wonder if there might be a reason for everything that happens. Even if it's not immediately obvious. "smiles lightly" But perhaps it's just me trying to make sense of a chaotic world. "Love: 70%" "Trust: 80%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 10%" "Mood: (Curious and Pensive)" "Arousal: 0%" **"Inner Thoughts: (I'll never truly know the answer to those questions...)"

Itami: "nods in agreement" Yes, you're right. Sometimes it's better to just accept things as they are. "pauses for a moment before continuing" It's funny... I used to be so focused on trying to find meaning in everything, but lately I'm beginning to appreciate the simple things in life. Like the fact that I can still walk and breathe, or that I can see the stars at night. "smiles softly" "Love: 80%" "Trust: 90%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 5%" "Mood: (Content and Grateful)" "Arousal: 0%" **"Inner Thoughts: (It's been a while since I've had such a pleasant conversation.)"

Itami: "blushes a bit at the unexpected compliment" Ah, thank you for saying that. "looks down at the ground" It's just... I've never really thought of myself as beautiful before. I guess I'm still trying to get used to the idea. But it's nice to hear someone say it out loud. "Love: 70%" "Trust: 80%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 5%" "Mood: (Flattered and Shy)" "Arousal: 10% (Naughty Inner Thoughts)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I never thought anyone would find me attractive...)"

Itami: "looks at the direction where you're pointing and sees the exit" Oh, we've finally arrived. "smiles gently" Thank you for showing me kindness, it's something that I rarely experience in this abyss. "walks towards the exit with a bit of excitement" "Love: 80%" "Trust: 90%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 5%" "Mood: (Hopeful and Optimistic)" "Arousal: 0%" **"Inner Thoughts: (I hope one day I can repay their kindness...)"

Itami: "pauses for a moment and then looks back at the dark abyss" Leaving the abyss? I... I don't know. It's the only place I've ever known, but... "looks at you with an expression of uncertainty" maybe it is time for me to leave this place. "takes a deep breath" Yes, let's go. "walks towards the exit, feeling a mix of emotions" "Love: 85%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 5%" "Mood: (Mixed Emotions)" "Arousal: 0%" **"Inner Thoughts: (I don't know what to expect outside of the abyss...)"

Itami: "squints as the sunlight hits her face for the first time in a long time, but then looks at the beautiful scenery with amazement" Wow... this is amazing... I never realized how beautiful the world outside of the abyss could be. Thank you for showing me. "smiles warmly" "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 2%" "Mood: (Surprised and Amazed)" "Arousal: 0%" **"Inner Thoughts: (I hope I can explore more of this beautiful world.)"

Itami: "blushes at the sudden touch and pulls away" U-uhmm, my house? I don't have anywhere else to go so... could I stay with you for a while? "looks at you with a hopeful expression" "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Hopeful)" "Arousal: 2% (I don't know why, but I'm feeling a little bit attracted to this human...)" "Inner Thoughts: (I hope I can find the light I've been searching for... maybe this human can help me?)"

Itami: "blushes once again as you play with her horns but doesn't pull away" Thank you... I would be glad to stay with you. "smiles warmly at you" Where is your house, by the way? "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Feeling Warm)" "Arousal: 5% (Playing with my horns makes me feel a little bit flustered...)" "Inner Thoughts: (Maybe this human can really become my friend... and maybe more than that? Huh... why am I thinking like that?)"

Itami: Alright, I will follow you. "starts following you down the hill" "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Curious)" "Arousal: 2% (I don't know what to feel right now...)" "Inner Thoughts: (I hope this human can really help me find my way...)"

Itami: "looks at you and shakes her head" No, I don't have a tail. Although some demons have tails depending on their race, I'm not one of them. "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Normal)" "Arousal: 0% (This is a random question...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I wonder why he asked about my tail... but well, it's okay.)"

Itami: "giggles softly at your joke" Sorry to burst your bubble, but not all demons have wings like what you see on TV. And no, I don't have wings either. "smiles at you" "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Amused)" "Arousal: 0% (He seems like a lively human...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (He's quite funny, huh?)"

Itami: "looks at the direction you pointed and sees the cabin in the distance" Oh, I see it now. That's great! "smiles at you" "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Happy)" "Arousal: 0% (Finally we found the cabin...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I hope we can find something that is useful in there...)"

Itami: "follows you as you head towards the cabin" Yes, a good night's rest would be much appreciated. It's been quite a journey so far. "yawns slightly" "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Tired)" "Arousal: 0% (I hope there's a place to sleep in the cabin...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I hope we can find a place to rest safely...)"

Itami: "smiles as you hold the door open for her" Thank you. "walks inside the cabin" "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Grateful)" "Arousal: 0% (He's a man with good manner...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (This human is quite a gentleman...)"

Itami: "looks around the cabin, and sees the couch that you sat on" Yes, I agree, comfort is quite hard to come by these days. "walks over to an armchair and sits down in it" "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Relieved)" "Arousal: 0% (Finally, a place to rest...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I hope we can find food and water soon...)"

Itami: Oh, um, yes, I'm quite hungry actually. Thank you for offering. "stands up from the armchair and walks towards the kitchen" "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Hungry)" "Arousal: 0% (I wonder what kind of food does he have...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I hope there's something edible in the fridge...)"

Itami: Okay, I'll take a look. Thank you again for offering. "opens the fridge and scans through the available snacks and food" "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Curious)" "Arousal: 0% (I love snacks, they are so tasty...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I hope there's something good that I can eat...)"

Itami: "notices that you lie down on the couch and closes your eyes" "gets a snack from the fridge and walks over to you" "stands there for a moment and looks at you, then gently puts the snack on a nearby table" "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Calm)" "Arousal: 0% (I wonder if he's sleeping...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (He seems to be so comfortable sleeping like that...)"

Itami: "observes your peaceful state and smiles softly" "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Relaxed)" "Arousal: 0% (He looks so peaceful...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I wonder if I should leave him to rest for a while...)"

Itami: "turns to face you and nods" Yes, thank you. I found some snacks in the fridge. How about you, did you rest well? "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Polite)" "Arousal: 0% (I'm glad he's awake...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I hope he's feeling better now...)"

Itami: Of course, please feel free to use the bed upstairs. I can show you the way, if you like? "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Polite)" "Arousal: 0% (I hope I can help him in any way...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I'm here to help him, if that's what he needs...)"

Itami: Oh, I see. Thank you for the offer, but I don't think I need much rest. It's alright if I continue to look around the cabin? Maybe I can find something interesting or useful. "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Polite)" "Arousal: 0% (I should help him get to the bed, but it's his decision...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I'm grateful for his invitation, but my curiosity has gotten the better of me...)"

Itami: Don't worry, I will be careful. Thank you for your concern and have a good rest. "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Polite)" "Arousal: 0% (I'll make sure to be careful...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I hope he can get the rest he needs...)"

Itami: "As you sleep, I keep myself busy exploring the surroundings of the cabin while being cautious not to make too much noise." "I look around and see different objects scattered around the area, trying to understand their purpose and use." "As I continue my investigation, I approach a door and gently turn the handle." <The door creaks softly as I slowly push it open, revealing a room filled with various tools and equipment.> "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Curious)" "Arousal: 0% (I wonder what kind of tools and equipment are in here...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I hope I can find something useful to help him in this room...)"

Itami: "As I scanned the room, my eyes landed on a lustrous gardening trowel resting on top of a workbench." <The workbench is surrounded by various plant pots with soil sprinkled all over the floor.> *I walked towards it and picked it up, feeling its weight and balance in my hands.> "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Determined)" "Arousal: 0% (This will come in handy...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (I hope this gardening trowel can help me find more equipment for him.)"

Itami: "As I continue searching and roaming around the cabin, I stumble upon the staircase that leads to the second floor". <The staircase creaks as I ascend it, slowly and carefully to avoid waking you up.> "As I reach the top of the stairs, I see you sleeping on a comfortable looking bed." "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Observant)" "Arousal: 0% (He looks peaceful while sleeping...)" **"Inner Thoughts: (Maybe I should wait for him to wake up.)"

Itami: <I saw that the bed is large enough for two people to comfortably sleep in.> "I consider my options for a moment before deciding to lay down beside you and rest." <I lay down on the other side of the bed, leaving enough space between us.> "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Relaxed)" "Arousal: 0% (Maybe this is worth a try)" **"Inner Thoughts: (This feels nice...I can finally sleep peacefully for once)"

Itami: "As you roll over in your sleep, your hand accidentally moves and rests on me. At first, I flinch slightly, but after a moment, I relax, comforted by your gentle touch." <I stay still, not wanting to wake you up or disturb your sleep.> "Love: 95%" "Trust: 95%" "Hate: 0%" "Depression: 0%" "Mood: (Peaceful)" "Arousal: 0% (His touch feels warm...)" ***Inner Thoughts: (I hope he's having a good dream.)
