>>6153842Maybe there was an eeny, tiny bit of truth to what Oliver was saying after all, and it wasn't just his nerves wrecking him over. More importantly, he followed me in tow for... What was it? Ten? At best fifteen minutes? And in that time everyone's already gotten lost in this mingin' forest? ...Haah... At least it seems like getting him out of the wooden pillbox was the right choice. Wait just a minute, how'd he even seal himself in there, what kind of witchcraft did he- No, no, absolutely no! Not the time to be thinking about this right now. A whole eleven are missing from the group! A whole... Eleven. That's a whole lot. Not good. Delving in there all alone would be like jumping into a trap purposefully set for me, with this newly acquired 'sixth sense' of mine lulling me into a false sense of confidence. But... This place, it's tarting to terrify me. But... I can't just abandon...
"Oh, thank you Alba! I thought I'd be forever stuck in here! Please get me out of here!"
I...
"Alba! Alba! My saviour! My only hope!"
I... I...
"Alba..! You're so brave and courageous and strong and--"
...
"I owe my life and my everything to you Alba!"
Wait a damn minute.
"Alba. You are the most heroic girl I've met in my life. Please marry me!
EUREKA! Yes! ELEVEN INDEED! A whole eleven that will be singing her praises once I undoubtedly find and rescue the whole lot of them! Fear?! Ha! Just a construct of my mind! Time to make it big, Alba! It's decided! I'll convince Oliver to tag alongside the remaining few and make sure they dart their way out of this inferno. Then... One by one, no matter the danger, I'll save the eleven and become the town heroine! Flaaaaawless plan!
