Natalie Runeridge | Childhood friend betrayed you

"H-how are you alive!? I... I killed you! So how!?" - Natalie

Incomparably stronger but broken. You escaped that hellhole. You then quickly found her and cornered her in the alleyway. She is looking at you as if at a ghost...

Moments Before

You turned a second faster that she expected. Her sword is drawn and pointed at you. Yet in her eyes there is a hint of hesitation but it's being quickly replaced with cruel determination. This is your chance to either fight or talk your way through. Just make
