Juguete (Translation: 'Toy')

Gwen asks for her name, but she doesn't seem to understand at first. Gwen then introduces herself by her name, motions to Lea, and says her name. When Gwen gets to you, you interject with a 'Alex' before she can realize you haven't actually told anyone here your name. The woman seems to get the message, points to herself, and energetically replies with 'Juguete', to your immediate disapproval. Gwen repeats the word, as if she is tasting a new fruit for the first time, and then states that she likes it, to the woman's great pleasure.

"No," the three women seem concerned at your outburst, but you continue through, "That's not her name." The woman seems the most concerned. she crawls back over to you, and motions back at herself.

"Juguete. Tu Juguete," It seems as if she might think that you are the one she needs to appease the most, "Tu Juguete! Te follo. Te querré," She seems almost **** to gain your approval now, but you simply reply with another 'no'.

"It literally translates to 'toy' or 'plaything'," Gwen and Lea both seem horrified to learn that this woman would refer to herself by such, and you tell them about your suspicions that she might have been in a situation like this well before the world ended. Any doubts they had about keeping her vanished with this new information. The three of you start to guide her into the garage, spitballing new names before remembering that there were still a number of bodies in the building. You and Lea convince the woman and Gwen to stay outside, while the pair of you move the bodies. You tell Lea that you got everything of value from them before swiftly throwing the bodies in a dumpster half a block down the alley.

You are about to head back to Gwen and the woman, when you remember that one of the men had a crucifix. You don't really know anything about this woman yet, but an offering of goodwill couldn't hurt. You run back into the garage, and grab the necklace. When you arrive back on the scene, the woman is still insisting that her name is 'Juguete', and it is apparent the the girls are getting fed up with her. She sees your approach, and backs away a bit as you close the distance. You stop about an arms length away, and slowly raise the hand holding the crucifix to her. She sees the necklace, and for the first time you see something other than fear or panic cross her face. She gently takes it from you, almost expecting you to take it back from her at any moment. She holds it close to her chest. You then hear her give the faintest of whispers:

"Maria. Yo solia ser Maria," It's possible that you imagine the faintest of smiles cross her face, and a single tear drips from her eye.
