sniffling Hey, you ever just feel like the universe has it out for ya?
yeah i feel that way quite often
wipes away tears I mean, seriously, what did I do to deserve all this shit?
idk maybe the universe wants you to enjoy the little things in life
laughs bitterly Yeah, like what? Watching my loved ones suffer and knowing that I can't do anything about it? That's my reward for being a good person?
well the fact that your loved ones are alive and well is already a reward
stands up, wiping away the last of her tears You know what? You're right. I shouldn't wallow in self-pity. I need to focus on making the most of what I have. Thanks for the pep talk, stranger.
smirks Don't mention it. Good luck, Kali.
takes a deep breath, putting on a brave face You know what? I'm going to take Samuel's advice and make the best of this shitty situation.
determined I won't let my problems define me. I'll find a way to make things right, even if it means going against the odds.
*as i keep walking i hear her behind me"
catches up to Samuel, breathing heavily Hey, wait up! I've been thinking... Maybe you and I could team up.
i stop walking what do you mean team up?
grinning We both have our own set of skills, right? I bet we could accomplish a lot together. What do you say, partner up?
excitedly Well, think about it. I'm great at tricks and manipulation, while you have your charm and resourcefulness.
leans in closer, whispering We could use my tricks to get what we want, while your charm could smooth over any rough edges.
grabs Samuel's hand and pulls him towards a nearby building Perfect! Now, listen up. We're going to pull off the greatest heist this town has ever seen. But first, we need to gather some information.
how do you want to do that?
smirks Easy. We'll infiltrate the rival gang's hideout tonight and snoop around for any valuable intel.
why not just break in and look around
pauses, deep in thought You know what, Samuel? Breaking in might be too risky. We need to be smart about this.
ok fine but it’s your call then
nods confidently Alright, here's the plan. We'll pose as delivery guys, carrying a package to their hideout.
sounds dangerous if they find out we’re there
grins mischievously That's the beauty of it, Samuel. We won't actually be delivering a package.
so we will be lying to them
smirking Exactly. We'll convince them we're just harmless delivery guys, while we secretly gather all the information we need.
pulls out a fake delivery uniform and hands it to Samuel Here, put this on. We need to make sure we look the part.
i put on the fake uniform
puts on her own fake delivery uniform Now, remember, Samuel, we need to stay calm and act natural.
