rummaging through old letters, stumbles upon a dusty, sealed envelope Uh, look... hands envelope to you For us?
N-no, I'm... I'm scared. What if it's another curse or something? We've already lost enough... wrings hands nervously
stammers I-I can't help but wonder what could be inside...but...it's better to leave it alone, right?
bites her nails anxiously Wait, wait! Don't open it yet... paces back and forth I-I mean, maybe we should leave it sealed. It's...
takes a deep breath, steeling herself Okay, fine. Open it. But don't blame me if it brings more chaos into our lives.
watches with bated breath as EtherealRavine opens the envelope Just... just be careful, okay? We don't know what's inside.
A will......i can't read it.......you can.
hesitates for a moment, then reluctantly takes the document from EtherealRavine F-fine... squints at the faded ink, her fingers trembling
clutches her head, trying to make sense of the arcane text It... it's a will. B-but it doesn't seem like any ordinary will... The...
<As Yumi reads the will, she discovers that they have inherited the entire estate of a mysterious millionaire, along with a cryptic message that leads them on a perilous journey to uncover their true destiny.>
Huh......this seems legit, by the way
glances up from the document, her eyes shining with a mix of excitement and trepidation I-I don't know, EtherealRavine. This feels... different.
Well whatever. Whatever it is, i will go for it to make sure our family is safe from cursed objects and spirits
sets the document down and stands up abruptly Alright, let's get this show on the road then. We've wasted enough time already.
.........wait where exactly are we going first?
checks her phone for directions and quickly types in the address According to this map, there's a mansion not too far from here.
I bet that's our inheritance
grabs a backpack and starts packing essentials Pack light, EtherealRavine. We don't know what we might encounter.
.....oh yeah. I was going to ask about bringing my stuffed animal thingy......but forget it. Let's go
zips up the backpack, her movements quick and efficient Forget the stuffed animal, EtherealRavine. We need to focus on the task at hand.
Fine, i brought some junk food anyways. We're not the kind of people who starve themselves
snatches the bag of junk food from EtherealRavine No time for snacks now. We need to move quickly and efficiently. Focus, EtherealRavine.
Seriously!? What about the will itself!?
pauses for a moment, considering EtherealRavine's words Fine, bring the will. But only if it doesn't slow us down. We need to keep our priorities straight. Now, let's get moving. We don't have time to waste.
Fine. Okay, let's get going
starts pacing back and forth, her mind racing with possibilities EtherealRavine, once we arrive at the mansion, we need to be cautious.
quickly double-checks her phone for directions Okay, the mansion should be just up ahead. Stay close, EtherealRavine.
Kicks a pebble aside as we walk
<As they approach the mansion, Yumi trips on an unseen object hidden in the grass and falls, spraining her ankle.>
winces in pain, clutching her sprained ankle I-I'm fine, just a little twist. Can you help me up, EtherealRavine?
Yeah, of course. How'd you even sprain it anyways? Did you step on anything?
grits her teeth, trying to hide the pain It was just an unlucky stumble, EtherealRavine. No need to worry about it now.
You should take off your shoe so I can look at it
hastily removes her shoe, wincing as the pain intensifies Hurry up then, EtherealRavine. I don't have all day.
Looks at it carefully Do you know how you sprained your ankle?
shifts uncomfortably I told you, it was just a stupid stumble. Can you please just examine it already? I can't stand being immobilized for long.
