You made quite the promise... but could you really keep it? This mission you got assigned with Dear happened to be the first one without Bro coming along to supervise Dear. So, in response, you made a simple promise to protect Dear from anything that could possibly go wrong!

But I mean- easier said than done. See... you couldn't quite predict the future. How were you supposed to know that you'd get jumped by the Raiders!?

Your back hit Dears as you two looked around the destroyed environment; in an attempt to watch each other's back. You glanced back and forth to see if Dear was alright, but you couldn't quite take your eyes off of the Raider in front of you- the claws he had in his hand stuck out to you most. But the real question; could you really defend yourself and Dear against this guy? Not to mention the other raider behind you that you couldn't quite make out. You were already starting to feel lightheaded at the feeling of your bloodied nose dripping red liquid.

"Dear..." you whispered, "Make a run for it when I say so." You glanced down at him, and he looked slightly hesitant, but he nodded and let out a small grumble behind his pacifier.

The guy in front of you chuckled. "Oh-ho~ trying to make a run for it?" He laughed out, grinding his jinki-claws against the dirt floor. "You should really try and counter attack instead, that would turn me on even more." His voice was low and seductive, and your facial expression contorted in disgust.

You let out a deep breath. "Now." You hastily said- preparing to lunge yourself at the man while Dear bolted away.
