I can trust.
Will you help me protect this town?â
ALL of a sudden, the memories of my stay here in Roz Town flashed in my mind.
I thought of the vendors who greeted me warmly, the teachers and children who were nice to Elena, my colleagues who often helped me, and
Riley, who treated me sincerelyâ¦

âOf course,â I said decisively.
âIâm with you!â
