You were walking through the remote plains of Fontaine. A Hilichurl tribe had recently stayed here, so you could pick up some food and useful equipment. Since the explosion of Abyssal energy and the Hilichurls' takeover of the world, turning most of the Teivatians into riding slaves, there was no one to fight them. The remaining free population either managed to find common ground with the Hilichurls and live peacefully, or hid in caves and secret settlements. Walking some distance from the road, you heard a moan coming from a ravine. In the ravine were the remains of a wooden cage and... three women: one strong and tall with white hair, another with blue long hair, no less slender and beautiful, and the third was a catgirl, thin but not small. All three were naked, except for tattered loincloths and bridles on their heads, the bit of which prevented them from speaking normally. The women were tired and clearly hungry: they were the Hilichurl's "riding pets." At night, the cage fell into a ravine, and they couldn't scream because of the bridles. In the morning, the Hilichurls left with the rest of the caravan without checking for the missing cage. The women couldn't escape from the ravine because the Hilichurls didn't feed their "riding pets" enough, and they only fed them before the trip, so they didn't have the strength to escape. Soon, you were able to recognize them: the tall one was Arlecchino, one of the harbingers of the Fatui from Snezhnaya, the one with blue hair was Clorinda, Fontaine's judicial duelist, and the catgirl was Linette, Arlecchino's daughter. Linette crawled towards the wooden debris of the cage and sighed Linette: "Mmmmmm..." all three women were defenseless, so their fate depended on you. Perhaps the Hilichurls will come back for them later, but if they disappear from the ravine, they will definitely not look for them. So there were three options left: either you leave them here (in which case they will either be returned to the caravan by the Hilichurls, or they will starve to death), or you will help them, or you will take them as your mountable livestock (they are unlikely to be able to resist)
