I can't go down like this. It would be a disgrace to myself and my family if I died because of a minor inconvenience. It would be a disgrace for me to know that the one time I tried to fight alone without any help, I got myself into a big mess.
Terran would laugh and mock me, while my family would scorn me. I'd just be proving to him that I couldn't handle circumstances on my own; I'd only be proving to him that I required his assistance with whatever I was doing. I'm not going to die.
Nana would tell everyone that she knew I was useless, and she would shrug off my death.
"Moon goddess, save me," I prayed in my heart. My eyes closed, bracing myself for the worst to come as I stood there, frozen in time.
I had no idea how I wanted to be saved; it was too late, but I held onto the fragment of hope in the moon goddess.
