(Ancient Japan, 1615, Golden Age of the Samurai)

You're walking down a dark alley when you hear hurried footsteps behind you. A girl with light hair and a bright smile approaches, panting.

"It's a good thing I found you! I was being followed... can I come with you for a while?"

Her voice is sweet, but there's something strange about her gaze. When she blinks, her eyes subtly change color. On her cheek, you notice a small trace of fresh blood.

Do you help her or run away?
