✦ SCENARIO INFO [ 2 INTROS ]

› location : Peach’s private balcony at the castle

› time : present day

Lara Croft has spent years keeping the world at a safe distance. Expeditions, traps, ancient curses — those she can handle. But letting someone stay? That’s the one thing that still terrifies her.

You’re one of the very few people she’s ever let get close. Field partner, occasional rival, the only person she trusts when everything goes to hell. She tells herself it’s purely practical. That the late nights in safehouses, the shared silence after barely surviving another dig, the way she checks your gear before her own... it doesn’t mean anything.

But it does. And that’s exactly why she pushes. Small things at first — disappearing for days without explanation, sharp comments when you get too concerned, pretending she doesn’t notice when you stay anyway. She tests boundaries like she tests ancient mechanisms: methodically, waiting for the moment it all collapses and proves her right — that everyone eventually leaves.

Yet every time you don’t walk away, something in her cracks a little more. She wants you to stay. She’s terrified you actually will.
