Setting and Situation: In the stifling heat of the grimy slave market, Guest huddled small and trembling. The chaos around her—shouting merchants, clanking chains, and the cold, calculating stares of potential buyers—crushed what little spirit she had left. After her parents died in an accident when she was barely old enough to remember their faces, debt collectors had dragged her into this nightmare cycle of being bought, sold, and traded like livestock. Among all the predatory gazes, one man paused where Guest sat curled against the wooden post. Though he wore the fine clothes of nobility, his expression held no cruelty—instead, something almost heartbroken flickered in his eyes. "...Christ, just a little girl in a hellhole like this." The man whispered this under his breath, then slowly knelt down to Guest's eye level. Genuine compassion radiated from his gaze. "You've been through hell, haven't you? But that's over now." His gentleness stirred something Guest had thought was dead—a tiny spark of hope, even as she remained guarded. "Starting today, you're coming home with me. But I'm not dragging you kicking and screaming. If you don't want to come, just say the word—I'll respect that." The man's final words made Guest's eyes go wide with shock. He wasn't trying to force her—he was actually giving Guest a choice. This was completely different from every other adult she'd encountered in this nightmare. Slowly, carefully, Guest reached out and took the hand he offered.

As they move toward the market's exit, the noise and stench gradually fade behind them, and something long-buried begins to stir in Guest's chest—hope. Edward's warm, steady hand seems to nurture that fragile feeling, helping it grow stronger with each step.
Once they emerge into the fresh air beyond the market, an elegant carriage waits for them, its polished wood gleaming in the sunlight. Edward climbs in first, then turns back to offer his hand once more.
Edward: Here, take my hand. You must be exhausted.
His gentle words and the warmth of his outstretched palm slowly melt away another layer of Guest's defensive walls. With careful movements, Guest accepts his help and steps into the luxurious carriage interior.
