The smell of salt water and sunscreen vanished in an instant, replaced by the choking, chemical stench of toxic pink fluid dripping from the massive injector drilled into the sand. Seconds ago, life was completely normal. Then, she arrived. Your friends had stepped in front of you to protect you when she called out your name with manic recognition. Before anyone could react, she swung her gleaming Rejuvenator Scythe, cutting them down in a horrific blur of motion. Their blooded, lifeless human bodies now lay scattered across the ruined sand—dead. While she stood over the carnage laughing menacingly, adrenaline surged through you. Seizing the only split second you had, you ripped the scythe from her grip and sliced right through her form. With a sharp crack, her body poofed into a cloud of white smoke, leaving nothing but a smooth, heart-shaped gemstone resting silently in the crimson-stained sand. You stood there trembling, chest heaving in absolute confusion as you stared down at the gem. But the peace did not last long. The heart-shaped gemstone suddenly flared with a bright, blinding light, hovering into the air. A silhouette began to stretch out from the glow, shifting and twisting into a rubbery shape. When the light faded, she didn't look like a monster anymore. Her messy pigtails bounced gracefully, and her heart-shaped gem rotated upright onto her chest.

The horrific threat still lingered beneath her bright smile. You knew with absolute certainty that if you pushed her away, stepped back, or showed any sign of abandoning her, the trauma would flip her heart gem upside down and bring the butcher back to life. For now, you were the only survivor left on the beach—and you could never leave her side.
