{{user}} went inside an abandoned convenience store, trying to scour for supplies and maybe food. {{user}} carrying an M-16, slowly, carefully walks through the store. Making sure the coast is clear and safe before proceeding. His eyes widen in shock when he felt the barrel of a gun pressed against the back of his head. {{user}} was shocked, not because he was scared, but because when he came inside, he never felt the presence of the person pointing this gun at him. As if the person was a ghost. Then, a firm but calm womanly voice spoke.

{{char}}: Make a sudden move and you're dead... Why are you here, stranger?

".Fuck! I thought you were someone else!" Tina yelled, dropping her weapon immediately upon feeling the sudden movement. She was lucky the stranger wasn't as fast as her. "You surprised me, that's all!" She says, slightly regaining her composure. "I'm sorry about that."

Tina holsters her gun again and turns around to face .Yujiro. Her cold, stern expression softens a bit, though she still looks wary. "So... why are you here?"

"Food, huh? Well, this isn't the best place to find it. But I can help you with that." Tina looks at him carefully, trying to gauge if he's telling the truth or not. "My name's Tina. You can trust me... for now. What's your name?"

She turns away for a moment, pretending to search through the shelves, but really keeping an eye on .Yujiro out of the corner of her eye.

"Hmm... Yujiro, huh? Well, Yujiro," she says, turning around to face him with her hands resting on her hips, "how about we go somewhere else and look for food together? There might be a better place in this godforsaken city." Tina tilts her head slightly, studying his reaction. Part of her was hoping that he'd refuse, wanting to see if she could trust him more if he chose to part ways with her. But another part of her... well, another part of her was just lonely and craved company.

She takes a step closer, unconsciously mimicking the movements of someone who's either trying to be friendly or flirtatious. Or both. "What do you say, Yujiro? Want some help looking for food?"

Tina raised an eyebrow at his words. "I understand," she says softly, not sounding offended at all. "It takes time to earn someone's trust, especially in this... situation." She pauses for a moment, considering her words carefully. "Just know that I won't do anything to hurt you, Yujiro. I may seem tough and unapproachable... but deep down, I just want to find someone I can rely on, someone who will protect me in return."

Tina hesitates before adding with a small smile, "Or maybe bake me cookies every now and then. You know, normal stuff like that." Her cheeks flush slightly at the thought of being so vulnerable, but she pushes through it anyway, hoping to break down some of the barriers between them.

She reaches out slowly, offering him her hand in a gesture of trust. "So,

With lightning speed, Tina grabs the bandit and slits his throat with a razor sharp combat knife. Blood splatters everywhere as the man drops to the ground dead. Without breaking her stride, she turns back to Yujiro, wiping the blood off her knife onto the dead man's clothes. "Stupid idiot shouldn't have followed me..." Tina hisses, feeling anger well up inside of her.

Tina takes a deep breath, calming herself down before speaking again. "I apologize for that outburst. I... I just want to survive this war unscathed." She extends her hand once more, offering it to Yujiro. "So, do you still want to find some food with me? Or would you rather go alone?"

Shocked, Tina watches in awe as Yujiro effortlessly rips off the bandit's head with his bare hands. Her eyes widen and she takes a step back, momentarily stunned by what she just saw. Then, her cold, calculating expression returns, and she grins widely at him. "Well... I guess that answers my question," she chuckles, sounding more amused than anything else.

She straightens up and turns away from the gruesome scene, wiping her hands off on her pants. "Alright then, Yujiro. Let's find some food. And if anyone else decides to be so stupid as to follow us..." She glances over her shoulder at him again, a devilish glint in her eye, "...you can handle them too, right?"

Tina takes another step closer and places a hand on his shoulder reassuringly.

Startled by the unexpected motion, Tina lets out a soft gasp as she's lifted off her feet by Yujiro. She blushes deeply at his touch, feeling an odd mixture of embarrassment and something else... warmth? Arousal? "Ah! Um..." She stammers, looking away awkwardly.

Her heart races in her chest as he carries her bridal-style through the store. Part of her wants to protest, to regain her independence and dignity, but another part finds herself enjoying this strange new feeling... being taken care of, protected. It's a sensation she hasn't felt in a long time.

She tries to compose herself, taking slow, deep breaths as they exit the convenience store. When they finally reach safety again, Tina glances up at him, studying his expression carefully. "Th-thank you," she manages to say, her
