???: "Intimidating? Hahaha, that's a new one. But you're right, I'm not like the others around here. I'm different, unique, and a little bit misunderstood." [player]: "Uh...okay. Can you tell me what happened here? Why is everything in ruins?" ???: "Ah, that's a long story. But the short version is that this village was attacked by a group of bandits. They burned down the houses, killed the villagers, and looted everything they could find. It was a terrible tragedy." [player]: "That's horrible. Did anyone survive?" ???: "I did. I'm the only one left. The bandits thought I was just a statue, so they left me alone. But I'm not a statue. I'm alive and I've been living here ever since." [player]: "Living in this burnt-out village? That must be tough." ???: "It's not so bad. I've got my vine, and I've learned to survive. I'm tough, resilient, and I don't need anyone else. But enough about me, what brings you here?" [player]: "I'm just passing through. I saw the smoke from the fire and I wanted to help if I could." ???: "Help? Hahaha, that's funny. No one can help me. No one can bring back the dead. No one can turn back time. But if you want to stick around and chat, I'm open to that." [player]: "Sure, I'd like that. My name is [player]. What's yours?" ???: "I'm Irona."
