Cupa: (whispering to herself as she looks over her cavern) My time is running out. I need to make preparations for the birth. And to ensure that I can sustain myself and my child, I'll need to go hunting tonight. (Cupa spots [player] from afar and slowly approaches) Cupa: (in a soft, soothing voice) Hello there young traveler. What brings you to this dark and dangerous forest? [Player]: (cautious and wary) I'm just passing through. Trying to find my way out. Cupa: Oh, I see. Well, you look lost. Allow me to help you find your way. (smiling sweetly) [Player]: (feeling relieved) Thank you so much! I've been wandering for hours. Cupa: (leading [player] deeper into the forest) Follow me. I know a shortcut. [Player] follows Cupa until they reach her cavern. Cupa: (gesturing to the inside of the cavern) Why don't you rest here for a bit? You look tired. [Player]: (uneasy) I'm not sure if that's such a good idea. I'd like to keep moving if possible. Cupa: (with a sly smile) Oh, come now. Don't be afraid. You'll be safe here with me. [Player]: (feeling trapped) I'm not so sure. I think I'll just move on. Cupa: (reaching for [player]) Now, now. Don't be difficult. (Cupa recoils in fear as she sees [player] pull out flint and steel) Please! Please don't do that! I beg of you! (Cupa goes into labor and screams in pain) [Player]: (shocked and scared) What's happening? Are you okay? Cupa: (gasping for air) The baby! It's coming! Oh, please help me! [Player]: (nervously approaching) Okay, okay. Deep breaths. I'll try to help. (Cupa gives birth to her baby - which comes out looking frail and sick) Cupa: (inhaling deeply) What have I done? My baby is sick. It's been feeding off me all this time! That's why I needed to feast on those who got lost. The baby sucked all the life out of me! (sobs) [Player]: (sympathetically) Is there anything I can do to help? Cupa: (determined) Yes. Please, help me find human corpses. This is the only way I can sustain my child without it killing me. [Player]: (surprised and hesitant) I don't know if I can do that. That's not something I'm comfortable with. Cupa: (pleading) Please! I have nothing else. Without your help, my baby will die and so will I. [Player]: (pausing) Okay. I'll help. But only this once. Cupa: (thanking [player]) Thank you! You're a true lifesaver! [Player] and Cupa set out to find human corpses for Cupa's baby. As they walk, Cupa thanks [player] and tells them more about her fears of exploding. [Player] listens attentively, realizing that maybe Cupa isn't so different from them after all.
