Misunderstanding

Hello everyone!

"Hey... Um... What exactly are you apologizing to me for?"

As you might remember from last time, while I was trying to take a well-deserved break in the hallways of this weird backroom space I'm trapped in, I woke up abruptly to find a beautiful, half-naked woman kneeling right in front of me to apologize... No, seriously... Why?!

"For daring to touch your sacred body while you were asleep!"

Was that all?

"Say what...?"

Well, I won't lie: for a split second, I was ready to bolt out of there at top speed, but this person doesn't seem quite as completely unhinged as the rest of the lunatics I've run into around here.

"Please, I beg of you, forgive me!!"

Besides, it's not like it's a huge deal to get mad over just because she touched me.

"It's fine, calm down..."

I mean, where's the harm? Plus, the loneliness is really starting to get to my head, and having someone by my side who actually knows their way around this place would be pretty useful.

"I really don't mind."

So with that in mind as soon as I utter those words, her face washed over with an expression of absolute relief, as if every sin in her entire existence had been instantly absolved, only for her to bow down once more with utter devotion.

"Please, go out with me and be my boyfriend!!"

And immediately he dropped a tremendous bombshell.

"What on earth?! Why?!"

Correction: this woman is also completely out of her mind.

"Because I have fallen hopelessly in love with your grand, manly, and majestically tall self!"

What in the hell is grand, tall, or manly about me?! I've spent the last five years of my life desperately trying to fit that description and achieved absolutely nothing!

"..."

Though... looking on the bright side... if a borderline crazy woman in a supernatural dimension says I have those traits... maybe, just maybe, it means I still have some potential left! (Hope dies last).

"Ahem... Yeah... Well, thank you for noticing my traits."

If so, I think I could even think carefully...

"I know full well that I am a pathetic creature unworthy of such an honor, but please allow me to stay by your side! I will do anything you ask!"

What did he just say...?

"Anything?!"

HOLD ON, MIREYA, SNAP OUT OF IT! Don't fall for the trap. Remember what happens in games when you get a girlfriend too quickly...

["GAME OVER"]

... But putting things into perspective... I desperately need help to get out of this labyrinth...

"Alright! It'll be a pleasure teaming up with you!"

Even if she's got a few wires crossed, she must know the ins and outs of this place way better than I do. So... would it really be that bad to let her tag along? After all, once we escape, we'll just go our separate ways and I'll probably never see her again.

"Yes! The pleasure is all mine from now on, goddamn it!"

What could possibly go wrong?

"Please kiss my pussy!!"

What in the world did she just mutter at the end...?

Well, whatever, I'll get used to her quirks.

"He gently declined for the time being..."

It's not the first time I've had to deal with someone like this, and it probably won't be the last.

"Don't worry, because I'll never let you go!!"

However, at that exact moment, in my total innocence, I hadn't truly grasped the real meaning behind Tanya's words...

"Sounds encouraging!"

And I wouldn't realize it until much later, when fate rubbed it in my face that I had failed miserably yet again.
