'Darn, it. Just how fast was that kid? Is that even a kid? Or is it a small beast pretending to be a human? But no, she spoke so it must be human.'
Amane was chasing after the kid who had given her the abrupt cold shoulder. She wanted to help the kid, but her more significant reason for doing this was to get the kid before poachers could.
As a local, the kid knew a lot of urban legends and hidden places. If she somehow led the poachers to the ancient ruins then it would not be good.
A lot of damage could be done by these poachers and Amane wanted to stop them.
"Hey kid, wait up. I am not an enemy to you."
Amane called out to the kid, hoping that she would stop running away. But the kid did not slow down at all.
Instead, she just picked up speed and led Amane toward the part of the forest which was thinning into a clearing.
