i have a suggestion although I doubt it'll be read, you know the woman in the very beginning? the 25-year old looking one? why can't we just bring her yk?
If you become a slaver with his own cage in Babili, she will be buyable to become one of your slaves there for 200 grams. (Unless you killed her.) You were never her friend so she can't be your companion. Name is Cecilia and her forehead tattoo is indeed meant to be vertical, but she got it horizontal, lol...
