So, here's how the story goes.
Cute little girl is introduced.
She's loving, naïve,
A bit out of touch--or a lot.
Cute little girl bonds with our male protagonist.
And then, it hits us:
Cute little girl is stolen,
Cute little girl is lost,
Cute little girl is part of a mafia plot.
Cute little girl is always advanced as
The destructive force.
