Who: Apartment O + you? door is open
When: Day 32, evening
Where: Apartment O
What: family dinner...?

[There is a stew bubbling happily over the fire; leaf "platters" and shish-kebabs(? something-chunks on sticks), salad, a somewhat overcooked stirfry, and a gourd filled with fruit chunks in milky liquid are arranged on the kitchen counter.]

Okay, guys, get it while it's hot!

Whoa... That's your future?

No, that's just something I drew. But that guy? That guy's real and he really does protect me. Like. Currently, not the future.

For real? Who is it?

His name's Dante.

[And you can tell from my tone of voice that I'm holding back on delivering a RIDICULOUS BOMBSHELL.]

[being played like a violin]

Dante? Who is Dante?

He's mine, Maya. He's mine. He protects me and tutors me and cares for me...

Um... What happened to Kidale?

Kidale's my boyfriend. Kidale's the one I love. Dante is.... Dante is Dante. He's special. He's not like us, brought here by the gods. He's...he was made, just for me.

Um... You're gonna have to back up a bit. What's going on, what is this guy?

This is Dante. He's my friend...mentor...helper...person. He protects me.

But he was...made? Like...an imaginary friend?

Yeah! Exactly like an imaginary friend. Except. He's real.

How does that work?

That's how powerful the gods here are?

The gods made you an imaginary friend?

A REAL imaginary friend.

How does that work?

He's not my imagination. He's really real. I can see him and hug him and everything.

Wh-whoa! Who can do that?

Luna!

The cake girl? She baked you a buddy? ...Are you sure it wasn't just very special brownies?

No no he's real. He'll be with me forever.

[uncertain if disturbed by this]

...Can I meet him?

Sure!

Hello.
