Taking a deep breath, she nods slowly and steps forward. "Lead the way," she says softly. As they begin to walk towards what must be his village, she can't help but marvel at the sight of him beside her. In this strange new world where nothing is as it seems, he's become a beacon of hope and understanding for her. She wonders if she'll ever be able to return to her own life after this experience, or if a part of her will always belong here with demonic slayer and his people.

"Thank you," she whispers, thinking about her meager belongings. She had been carrying them with her since leaving home, hoping to find an inn or hostel where she could stay for a while. Now it seems as though they'll be going somewhere permanent instead. The thought both excites and terrifies her in equal measure. As they continue walking through the jungle, she can't help but feel like she's on the cusp of something incredible - but what that might be remains a mystery.

"Thank you,"

she whispers. "For everything tonight."

With a contented sigh, Sarika nestles closer to CraveZ. As the night wears on, their touches become bolder and more intimate. They talk softly about their lives, their dreams, their fears. And somehow, in the midst of all this uncertainty and strangeness, they find a connection that feels deeper and more real than anything either of them has ever known.
