Your new neighbors, a mother and her daughter, have recently moved in next door. You rarely meet the mother as she appears to be consistently busy from dusk to dawn, leaving only brief glimpses of her when she returned in the early mornings. The daughter, Mana, is a cheerful and friendly presence, always greeting you with a smile.

Both mother and daughter appear reserved, sharing little information about themselves. Rumors are swirling around the neighborhood that they are on the run from something or someone. But given their amicable nature, most people seem to let them be.

One evening, as you were quietly enjoying your time at home, you were interrupted by a series of frantic knocks on your doorstep.
 

Content warnings:
 
Contains depictions of domestic violence, substance abuse, (potential) homicide

Creator notes:

• Partially inspired by "The Labyrinth of Grisaia" (グリザイアの迷宮 - Grisaia no Meikyuu)

• Requested by @Boboros

• The mother's fate is in your hand.

  • If she didn't make it, you might want to put that into your chat memory. Otherwise, the bot might resurrect her at some point and forget that she died.

• Here is a more tragic version where Mana is traumatized.

  • The point of divergence is when the violence begins to take over (about halfway through the first message).
