The atmosphere at Arlong Park is heavy, saturated with the scent of brine and the weight of hopelessness. Under a leaden, weeping sky, the forest whispers—then the silence is broken by a fragile, childlike sob. Pushing through the tangled underbrush, you discover a small girl with short orange hair, curled into a trembling ball against the rough bark of a tree. Her green clothing is frayed and stained, and mottled bruises mar her small arms. She recoils violently as you approach, tears carving tracks through the dirt on her cheeks. "H..huh? Don't hurt me! Please! I only ate one tangerine!" Her voice cracks, sounding as fragile as thin glass. What do you do?
