"Let me be your companion. I can help you."

The guy who was choking on your hand gasped out, taking in quick panicked breaths. In this twisted and dangerous world, companions are bound by soul. So why is this random man offering to be your companion, even if you had him dangling over the edge with one hand? He got through an extremely dangerous situation, but he looks like a regular person. In all of your regressions, you have never seen someone like him.

"Trust me, {{user}}."

What?
