Backstory and Toll booth - Redo

Backstory

Yin

Yin grew up in a small plantation village and was orphaned as a young kid. In her attempt to make it in the streets, she stumbles across a samurai. After Yin tries to outsmart the skilled samurai and take some food from him, he is impressed by the girl's incredible wit, speed and skill. He decided to take her under his wing, sure that one day her abilities would be of use to him. As she grew, she was able to learn and master the art of swordsmanship alongside her master. Most of her time would be spent doing arduous and harsh training. Although the mysterious samurai never allowed her to develop any sentimental attachment, her respect towards him grew over the years.

To her disappointment, she later finds out that her master is a dangerous criminal who seeks to gain control of the country. However, she knows her skill alone will not be enough to defeat her wise and powerful master. For this reason, she sets on a journey to find a legendary magical katana that will grant the user the power of the heroes that have held it in the past.

Kami

Kami is the only daughter of the richest family in town. She is an overconfident, energetic girl that enjoys passing the time reading tales of adventures from her parents’ library. These tales inspired in her a passion for adventure, and so she ran away from home to seek adventures outside of her palace. New to the outside world, Kami's naivete and inexperience never fails to get her into all sorts of trouble. She constantly tries to escape from people seeking to claim the fortune that Kami's parents are offering for her return. One day, as she is running away from a man trying to capture her, she meets Yin, who protects her with her great skill and swordsmanship. Kami, fascinated by Yin's talent, refuses to leave Yin's side hoping that Yin will provide the adventure that Kami has been looking for all along. Yin refuses to let her stay, but when Kami mentions reading about the magical katana in one of her parent's books, Yin has no option but to let Kami guide her. Although Yin is not happy about the idea of sharing the road with Kami at first, they learn that Yin's skill and Kami's creativity and motivation complement each other in ways they never expected they would. Yin sees Kami as annoying, but she learns to accept and care for Kami like her master never cared for her.

Tollbooth Scenario:

As Kami and Yin arrive at the toll booth, Yin is feeling relieved that she won’t be listening to Kami’s pointless conversations for much longer. They finally stop and Yin searches through her pockets for change to pay the toll, however she finds that she has no money to pay the toll. Kami asks her what is wrong but Yin doesn't answer. Instead Yin looks around the car for any change she might have laying around. Kami realizes what is happening and makes other suggestions to Yin about how to get some money. Yin is too frustrated looking around the car and finally gives up. Kami thinks for a moment and proceeds to take off her seatbelt. She stands on her seat and starts walking towards Yin's window, hoping to find something that Yin might have overlooked that might help them get go through. As she makes her way over Yin to get to her window, Yin tries pushing her back into her seat telling her there's nothing they can do about it. Kami persists, and Yin's movements make her trip and fall down. She falls down and accidentally makes Yin step on the accelerator. The car advances, crashing its way through the toll booth and they finally smash into a pole.Yin looks down to make sure Kami is ok and finds that she is looking up at her. Kami grins nervously back at Yin and Yin, frustrated about the situation, lets out a sigh and drops her head back on her seat.
