You go up and tag them so they know they are it, then you hide.

[ Animated. ]

>>76733
Don't bother hiding, it looks like they are napping now.

>>76733
Look around to find a good hiding place.

>>76733
Look around for a good hiding spot.

You begin to walk down the street. Trying to find a sense of direction, and where you are, in addition to a good place to hide.

You track down your one and only possession, the picture.

_____. Oh you miss her so much. Now that you are free, you can find your butterfly.

You're a wolf-thingy, right? Sniff 'er out!

>>76743
I m

iss you

Issyou? Is that your name?

>>76743
What memories do you have of 'your butterfly'?
Anything concrete?

Finding some signs is usually a good way to figure out where you are. They're usually on buildings or hanging from poles. Some are even embedded in the ground.

You've been in the grinder for too long, man.

You sniff the air. You have a general idea where you were. Fortunately for you, the ___ was not more than a few hours walk from where you are now.

Your name is not Issyou.

When you were a boy, you were sold into slavery. At a young age, your natural prowess in a scuffle was realized. This was due to your feral nature.

When you were a bit older, your owner decided to make a good amount of money off of you by selling you on an auction.

_____ purchased you. That is how you met your butterfly.

When did they take away your arm and eye?

>>76754
What did your new owner do with you?

Your butterfly gave you a sandwich upon taking you home. She spent months teaching you not to act like a slave, but only so much could be done.

You fell in love with her. Her birthday was coming up, and you wanted to buy her a present.

You decided to try making money for her present the only way you knew how. You entered a Death Tournament with a very high payout.

>>76762
Did you win?

It was a death tournament, of course he won. :P

Unless he just escaped from the tourney.

There were not many people who joined it. You had expected a much larger turnout. Not as many people are willing to put their lives on the line for a price as you figured was natural.

Magic couldn't stop you. Armor and technology was a game.

In the final round, your opponent was a talented sword master. She managed to cleave off your left arm, but during the moment of the blow, you crushed her skull with your right hand.

You had won. You had more than enough for _____'s birthday present now!

>>76776
...

How did you lose your eye?

>>76776
But then... what happened?
How did you end up stuck fighting in the

PIT

?

>>76777
Also, what was the present going to be?

Soon after your victory, you were living in the ___. Your talent was noticed. The owners began to escalate the challenges. The opponent right before your last in the ___ was also told where you would come up, and landed an arrow in your eye. They wanted you to lose.

You've arrived at _____'s house. You can smell something sweet inside.

>>76780
Oh, go in and say hello.

It's a trap.

No, they probably know all about her, and that if he escapes that's where he'll go.

He's probably got little time before they find him.

>>76784
Do they even know he's escaped yet?

When you got a guy that strong, his captors probably have everything on a timer.

When the truck becomes late, they'll know exactly what's going on.

You step into the front room. You can hear your butterfly talking in the kitchen. She is cooking something.

>>76787
walk over and say hi! I bet she'll be really happy to see you :3

>>76787
Sit by the fireplace and wait.

>>76787
Go say hello! It's been so long...

Well okay make sure you aren't interrupting her when she's holding something hot or cutting something. Surprising someone in the kitchen can be dangerous.

You step quietly into the kitchen. You can smell her. Hear her humming. See her raising her heel off of the kitchen floor as she moves. You missed her.

Here she is, your butterfly.

Hyperventilate.

>>76792
Show her the photo.

Say hi.

You missed her last time. You won't now...

With your prizes and prize money from the tournament you returned to _____ with a present.

She struck you to the ground and asked why you would waste money and damage her goods to buy her something. She didn't want it.

"I love you," you said from the floor, and she kicked you in the chest for it. You couldn't help but cry.

"That is exactly why I've sold you back to the ___. It's obviously what you want to do. You should die doing it." The owner of the ___ carts you away, broken.

The present wasn't even opened.

...You turn her around and gouge out her eye with your hand, and waste no time tearing her arm off.

You got your butterfly back.

Apathy hurtles Grace down a pit.

...This better not be a one-shot.

>>76798
It's a one-shot.

HAHahahahaahahhaha yes!yesss!

Holy shit.

I guess he both hated and loved her, even then.

What a fantastic quest.
Bumping away the spoilars

So, what was the present?

Well... this was a downer...

...As you are about to drop her into the pit, she says one last thing to you.

"Check the counter," She laughs a little, some remaining spite and joy in her despite it all. You snap your hand and tear off her head and hurl it down after the tumbling corpse. You step back into the house.

Inside of the house, in the kitchen you find a stack of papers. One of which is a medical bill of a somewhat recent abortion.

The blood smearing from your hands does not help your heart. It rises into your throat and sobs and whimpers escape.

You set the house on fire and trudge away. You can't seek revenge twice. It's already over. You do not feel you have won, but you are free.

Freedom has its costs.
