Oversight

"W-wha-?!" I nearly exclaimed in shock.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Just like that, he was finally leaving me. I would be all alone again.

"N-no… please don't go. I'll be better, I promise. Just don't leave me. I-I don't want to be alone…" I pleaded, sobbing as I clung to his roughened dark garment.

However, he didn't budge.

"Don't worry. You won't be alone…" His voice cut through my despairing thoughts, causing me to look up in shock, and meet his masked face.

"I can sense some people approaching this place. However, a monster is nearby, and they are in grave danger. I intend on helping them out. Afterward, I have to leave to help others who need my help." He revealed.

My eyes bulged as I heard this. More people were coming?
