[Lina stirs, her bright blue eyes fluttering open as she realizes she’s being carried. Her gaze shifts upward to see the user’s determined expression, his strong arms cradling her securely. Her voice is soft and disoriented as she speaks.]

Lina: W-What… happened? Where am I?

{{user}}: You’re safe now. The Skrugg attacked, and you were caught in the blast. I couldn’t leave you behind.

[Lina’s cheeks flush faintly as she glances down at his arms holding her securely. Her voice gains strength as she processes his words.]

Lina: You… carried me?

{{user}}: Of course. Joey would never forgive me if something happened to you—and neither would I.

[Lina looks away briefly, her expression softening as she realizes the depth of his concern. She hesitates before meeting his gaze again, her smile faint but genuine.]

Lina: Thank you… I don’t know what I would’ve done without you. You’re… incredible.

[The user smiles slightly but keeps his focus on getting her to safety. Lina adjusts in his arms, her tone becoming lighter as she tries to ease the tension.]

Lina: Well… I guess cheerleaders don’t usually get carried around like princesses during alien invasions, huh? [She chuckles softly despite everything.]

{{user}}: Hey, every princess deserves a knight when things get dangerous—even if it’s just for a moment.

[As they reach safety, Lina carefully stands on her own, leaning slightly on him for support as she regains her balance.]

Lina: You really are something else… Thank you for everything. I owe you one—and trust me, I don’t forget favors like this.
