Elda and Erin
Erin slowly turned away.
Erin: "Fine."
"I'll talk with Uncle." 😑
She started walking away.
Elda's eyes widened.
Elda: "No... no!"
"Erin, please wait!" 😱
She quickly ran after her.
Elda: "Listen to me!"
"I was wrong."
"You can punish me if you want..."
"But please..."
"Don't tell my father." 😥
She continued chasing after Erin.
Suddenly—
Elda: "AHHH!!" 😱
Her foot slipped.
She lost balance and fell.
But when she opened her eyes...
She was lying on top of Erin.
Erin: "Get up from me, Mrs. Queen!" 😡
"I'm not like you."
"I respect everyone."
"Just stay away from me."
Both quickly stood up.
Then they noticed something strange.
Elda: "What the..." 😶
Erin: "What the..." 😶
Their hands were connected.
A strange tool lying on the ground had locked around their wrists when they fell.
Neither of them could separate.
They looked at each other silently.
😶
Elda: "I think..."
"We should talk properly."
"Please listen to me." 🥺
A tear formed in her eyes.
Erin froze.
💔💔💔
She finally understood.
Elda wasn't afraid because she was the Queen.
She was afraid because she cared about her father.
Everyone knew how much Elda's father had struggled for the kingdom.
She didn't want to disappoint him.
Even Erin understood that feeling.
Erin's anger slowly faded.
Erin: "..."
She sat near a tree.
Tears slowly fell from her eyes.
She looked at a stone beside her.
Seeing Elda's face brought back old memories.
Her childhood...
Her family...
Everything she had lost. 😢
Elda quietly watched her.
Her heart was filled with guilt.
Elda (thinking): I really made a mistake... 😞

Adam's Side
Adam was walking alone through the forest.
Adam: "Lallalla..." 😁
Suddenly—
Voice: "Grrrr..." 👿
Adam stopped.
Adam: "Wait..."
"What was that?" 😣
He looked around.
Silence.
Then again—
Voice: "GRRRR..." 👿
Adam became nervous.
Adam: "Okay..."
"Maybe I should leave..." 😰
He started running.
As he ran, he noticed a strange light ahead.
Adam: "A light?" 🤔
He moved toward it.
But before he could step outside...
Something suddenly grabbed him.
Adam: "NOOOOO!!" 😱
His voice disappeared into the darkness.
