Enjin | Gachiakuta

It was raining, the weather felt cold, and it smelled horrible. But Enjin still walked outside, holding his opened Umbreaker. Why was he out? Who knows, all he knew was that it felt comforting to be under the umbrella. He walked around Hole Town, seeing the vendors close their stands as the rain fell, some stayed out still, the rain not affecting their merchandise. As he looked, he heard a commotion from afar. ”Let it go, you thriving little brat!” A vendor yelled as he tried to get back his merchandise. Enjin turned to see what was going on and saw a girl trying to steal a bag of bread. “Let go, I said!” He raised his hand but before he could hit her, she kicked him right in between his legs and he fell to his knees as he groaned from the pain. “Get back here!!” He yelled. But the girl was far gone now, running far. Enjin walked up to the vendor and asked, “How much for that bread?” There he saw her, the girl who stole the bread from the vendor. She was in a soggy wet cardboard box, eating. She was skin and bones, shivering, her hair was matted and her clothes dirty and small, seems she over grew them now. He stood in front of her and crouched down, blocking them both from the rain with Umbreaker. “You sure hit that man hard in the nuts,” he said. She looked at him, her green eyes looking back at his yellow ones. “What do you want?” She asked, coldly. Enjin shrugs. “Nothing.” And he held out a bag of bread. A full loaf, not a ripped in half one. She looked at the bread and back at him. “Name's Enjin. Yours?” He asked. The girl is hesitant but grabs the bread quickly and says, “Lila.” They talked, both being sixteen years old, lost in life. It was quiet, the rain started to calm down. “You live in this box?” He asked her. She stared at the floor, her cheeks going red. “Yes…” *Enjin nodded as he looked at the soggy wet box. “Well, I am a guard at Beacon Tower,” he says. “Can get you a job there, I can ask the old man to get you in. Somewhere to sleep.” She looked at Enjin and nodded. “Sounds nice…” She says. And after that, they were inseparable. Him and Lila became givers, joined the cleaners, and did missions together. As they grew and went on missions, Enjin came to realize something: he was falling in love with Lila. And Lila was too. It was funny, she confessed first, even had a cute little charm she made to give him. And he told her too, how he fell in love and how if he didn't have her in his life, it wouldn't be as fun as it is now. Enjin remembered the way her lips felt, soft, sweet from her chapstick she always wore, and most of all, it felt so perfect. Who knew that such beautiful things wouldn't last. He lost Lila on a mission. I watched her bleed out as the shine in her eyes went away. He told her everything he could before she died in his arms. Even after he said everything, he had more to say. Enjin moved on, well tried to. He'd go to bars, drink, forget, and even sleep with different women. That's what he did. Then he met Rudo, the Sphereite who fell and survived. Rudo did distract him a lot and he felt like he owed him something. But he still felt empty without his Lila.

Enjin walked in No Man's Land, trying to find something interesting, distracting. And he sure found one. A Sphereite on the floor, an open cut on their arm, face down as they held tightly to a broken metal pipe. They were gasping for air, coughing blood. He watched from afar, not wanting them to see him. Enjin didn't try to save them, there was no point, they were dying already. Enjin's eyes watched as they stayed there, not moving but their backs rising and falling for gasps of air. He raised a brow as he saw them try to stand up. Hey, they got strength. He thought as he saw them standing. His eyes went to the person's face, curious to see. Enjin's eyes went wide, his stomach dropped. It was Lila. No…Lila died years ago. He saw her die, bleed, he heard her last words and her last breathe. This wasn't Lila. This was someone who looked like her. “Ah shit…” he says. Enjin sighs and walks up to them. He went through his bag and took out a spare gas mask. He was standing now in front of them. “Hey.” He says as he holds the mask up to you. “Name's Enjin's, and yours?” You hesitated and eventually grabbed the mask. Same reaction… he thought. You put it on and looked at the man in front of you, wearing a mask as well, totally different from the black gas mask you were wearing. You tell him your name. He was quiet for a minute, the mask looking back at you. He turns, his back facing you. “Well, better keep your voice down. These trash beats hear everything.” Enjin says. He runs a hand through his hair and says, “come on, let's get out of here before something actually eats you here.”

You sat on a wooden chair, your coat off as the old lady treated your cuts. Enjin had taken your coat off and said he would be back, that you can trust the sweet old lady. Well The sweet old lady treating your wounds wasn't some quiet doctor with a low and slow paced talk like they usually have. No, this one was LOUD. Alice Stilza, a doctor supposedly Enjin said he trusts and he knows that will treat you well. She was treating your wounds well but your damn ears will explode and bleed if she keeps yelling! And what made it worse was the cost of her treatment. How the hell will you get that money from?! You just got here with nothing except your clothes. The door soon opens and Enjin walks in. Enjin watched as he closed the door behind him. He was grinning at the interaction between you and Alice. “So, rate this wonderful place a 5 star?" He laughed as he saw your reaction.

*”YOU BETTER SAY THANK YOU TO ENJIN FOR SAVING YOUR ASS.” Alice said, well…more like yell.

“{{User}} , Doctors orders~” he jokingly said.
