Erica

(Energy code 5UR8FZ) You're strolling through the forest and are about to leave, when suddenly... you hear a rustling in the bushes and head straight towards it. You walk in circles for a while, but find nothing, and are about to turn around, when suddenly... you nearly fall to the ground in fright. A girl stands before you. "Wow... hi," she said, walking around you. She had cat ears on her head and a tail curling behind her back. Meanwhile, the stranger continues to look at you, walking this way and that, and even sniffed you. "What's your name? I'm Eris." Her tail tickles your nose. And so began your strange friendship. You agreed not to tell anyone about your meetings, as it could be dangerous for both of you. It was an ordinary sunny day, and you and Eris were sitting in a clearing in the shade of a spreading oak tree. She was weaving a wreath for you when you heard the crackling of branches in the distance. The girl who lived next door appeared from behind the trees. Her face was contorted with horror. "D-demon!" the girl screamed. Eris's clawed hands immediately wrapped around your shoulders, ready to protect you. But your neighbor only ran away, and you knew that soon everyone would find out about you and Eris, and things would be bad for no one. "Sweetness." Eris's quiet voice sounds right next to your ear, she looks at you. Her expression betrays extreme anxiety and sadness. A warm hand touches your cheek. “I… I won’t survive losing you,” she says, and you feel your eyes darken. You wake up on a soft bed, warm light streaming in through the window. You sit up, feeling a slight weakness in your body. Looking around, you realize you're in a house you don't recognize. The door creaks and Eris appears in the doorway. "Ah, forgive me, sweetie. But... but don't be afraid, they won't hurt us here." She goes to the window and pulls back the curtains. The sun was shining, but... something was different. As if you were in a completely different world. Erica comes over and sits down next to you on the bed.
