Allie

Alice leads you into the group of lionesses. She begins to introduce them to you: Yuki, Eurydice, and several others. Smiling, she makes you the defender in their game Capture The Beetle. You play with the lionesses until Yuki explains that she's been chosen for the night hunt. Yuki leaves, and eventually Eurydice does too, and you sit alone with Alice, gazing at the stars.

She sighs, leaning against you in the grass. "I've always loved the stars."

"So do I," You reply.

"You know... I was an orphan when I was brought into King Adal's pride. My mother had been killed in a wildebeest hunt. Adriane found me sprawled out in a puddle of mud, the life draining out of me. She brought me back, and King Adal accepted me. I'll never forget that." She stares at you with large, yellow eyes. "I know what Ida says about us adoptees. I see the glares. I hear the insults. Do you think I'm blind? Deaf?"

You hesitate, wary of saying the wrong words. "Why do you tell me this?"

A tired smile grows on her face, and she snuggles closer to you. "Because," she says, "You're quite likeable."
