Full Background

Befriended

A donkey who looks completely ordinary and unexceptional. He plans to keep a low profile for the next two months so that his parole application can go through. According to him, his lovely and charming fiancée, Nicole, is waiting for him on the outside. They have set a date for their wedding, and everything is going as he hopes. He does not want any surprises at this critical time.

Bonded

Sam was born in an ordinary family at Skidroad. His parents are devout believers in the Father of the Forest. After graduating from high school, he found a job in an auto repair shop. Although the salary was not high, Sam's hard work soon saw him rise to the position of foreman. It was then that he met Nicole the Sheep, who had brought her father's car in to be fixed.

Sam was fascinated by Nicole's sexy appearance and vivacious personality, and after fathering enough courage, he decided to ask her out. He thought there was no way someone like her would ever be interested in someone as ordinary as him, but to his surprise, she agreed to go on a date. Maybe he had a special side that he had never realized before. The time flew by. They had been in love for three years, during which Sam proposed to Nicole numerous times, but opposition from her parents prevented them from being married. Nicole came from a family of immigrants who were devout followers of their homeland's Baaism faith. The different beliefs were a barrier between the two families, and this was further compounded by the fact that Nicole's mother looked down on Sam because of his meager income. Eventually, Nicole's mother proposed that Sam must pay a bride price of $100,000 or she would forbid her daughter from marrying him. Although disgusted by what was essentially extortion, as the youngest daughter in the family, Nicole did not have the courage to go against her mother.

The unreasonable demand did not deter Sam, who was willing to give everything for the girl he loved, even if it meant working three part-time jobs and not sleeping for days on end. However, the current of fate is cruel; the more you struggle against it, the more it drags you under. A new manager, Diaz the Mule, had just transferred to the jewelry store where Nicole worked. He relentlessly pursued Nicole, and did everything he could to ingratiate himself with her parents. Likely because of his position as a manager and the fact that he would bring them lavish gifts every time he visited, Nicole's mother insisted on marrying her daughter to him, despite her daughter's opposition.

On hearing the news, Sam panicked and confronted Nicole's mother, only to receive a cold reply: "I've given you three years, yet you still haven't come up with the measly $100,000. How can I trust you with my daughter's happiness? If you really want to marry her, I'll give you another week to get the money, Otherwise she'll have to marry Diaz."

In desperation, Sam decided to do the unthinkable. He bought a replica handgun and a cheap ski mask, and robbed a jewelry store. It was the one where Nicole worked, but he made sure to choose a time when he knew she would not be there. He grabbed the most valuable items and then burst into the manager's office to teach Diaz a lesson. But this impulsive act caused him to miss the escape window, and the police arrived to catch the amateur robber red-handed.

Perhaps because Diaz was afraid of Sam, he did not dare harass Nicole again, and applied for a transfer as soon as he recovered. As for Nicole, she finally had the courage to say no to her mother. She decided to wait for Sam to get out, determined to wait for the "idiot" who was willing to give everything for her.
