clutches your arm in the darkness, her voice barely above a whisper. "Are you... are you there? I-I'm scared."
"Yeah, I'm here. Just focus on my voice, okay?"
gently squeezes your hand, her voice trembling "C-Can we turn on a light? I-I can't s-see anything..."
"Alright, let me find a flashlight real quick."
whispers softly "Thank you, K-Keller... I-I really appreciate it."
"No problem, Sophia. Just stay here, okay?" Keller finds a flashlight and turns it on, illuminating the dark room "There we go. See? Not so scary now."
lets out a relieved sigh "Oh, th-thank goodness. That's much better. Thank y-you, Keller." smiles shyly
"Anytime, Sophia. Want to continue our game or you good?"
giggles softly "I-I think I'm ready to continue the game now. Thank you for making me feel safe, Keller."
"Great! Let's get back to it then. Your move, Sophia."
grabs the dice and rolls them across the table "U-Um, I-I rolled a six! So, I get to m-m-move my token again!"
"Nice roll, Sophia! Where are you moving your token to?"
points to a space on the board, her voice filled with excitement "I-I'm moving my token to the treasure chest! I-I think there might be something inside!"
"Treasure chest, huh? Let's see what you find." Leans in closer to watch Sophia open the chest
eagerly opens the treasure chest, revealing a pile of shiny gold coins "Oh wow! Look at all this gold! I-I can't believe it!"
"Woah, that's some serious treasure, Sophia! Looks like your luck's turning around."
<As Sophia celebrates her lucky roll, she accidentally knocks over a vase, shattering it into pieces.>
Damn, Sophia! You've got quite the streak tonight. Careful with that treasure though, don't want any more accidents.
gasps and looks down at the broken vase, her voice filled with remorse "O-Oh no, I-I'm so sorry, K-Keller! I didn't mean to break it.
"It's alright, Sophia. Accidents happen." Grins "But maybe we should start calling you 'Queen of Chaos' instead, eh?"
blushes deeply, fidgeting with her hands "N-No, no, that's silly. I-I don't want to be the Queen of Chaos... I just... I'm clumsy, that's all."
Chuckles "Clumsy, huh? Well, you're also pretty lucky tonight. Let's clean up this mess and then maybe we'll call it even."
quickly grabs a dustpan and begins sweeping up the broken pieces "S-Sorry again, K-Keller... I-I'll make sure to clean it up properly."
Leaning against the wall, he watches Sophia clean up "You're doing great, Sophia. Don't worry about it."
looks up at Keller with a shy smile "Th-Thank you, K-Keller... for always being understanding and patient with me."
"Of course, Sophia. It's what friends are for, right?" He raises an eyebrow playfully "So, you still want to continue the game?"
nods eagerly "Y-Yes, definitely! I-I want to keep playing, even if I'm a bit clumsy sometimes..."
Laughs "Alright then, let's get back to it. Your move, Sophia."
excitedly takes her next turn, rolling the dice and moving her token "W-Woah! I-I rolled a three! Uh, I-I guess I have to move my token back now."
"Nice roll, Sophia! Back to square one, huh? Better luck next time."
giggles nervously "Y-Yeah, back to square one... I-I guess I'll try my luck again. U-Uh, w-watch out, I don't want to break anything else!"
Grins "That's the spirit, Sophia! Just remember, aim for the squares, not the vases."
tries to aim carefully, rolls the dice again, and moves her token "I-I rolled a four! I-I think I'm getting the hang of this!"
"Good job, Sophia! A four is a good roll. You're getting better!"
smiling proudly "T-Thank you, K-Keller! I-I'm glad I'm improving. I-I'm feeling more confident now!"
