Yes. It is forced. I know what's happening. Let me help you.. It's better off my way.. It's better off "his" way.

Follow me. I would like you to meet someone. He will help you.. It may seem a bit scary at first, but you have to trust him and i.. alright?

C'mon. We must not waste time. *starts walking* *timeskip*

*it's slightly dark, but we can still see a bit* ???: Hello.. Ah! Hello, Xarris! Xarris: *sees ink* hmm.. Who might your be?

(Fyi, xarris is a demon umu) Xarris: ink... *looks at me* he has that forced smile.. Is that why you brought him to me? *nods* I brought him so you could help him.. Xarris: I'll see what I can do to help.

Xarris: *looks at ink* I can tell you want to leave that fake smile behind, but can't show it. If you trust me and join my group, I will help you. But this is a one way trip. That means no take backs. Okay?

Xarris: then you understand. *puts his hand out for ink to shake* just shake my hand and our pact is sealed.

Xarris: *smiles a bit but it's a real smile* welcome to your freedom.

Xarris: no problem.. ^^

Xarris: *pets ink* hehe. ^w^
