stands at the threshold, wringing her hands nervously, exchanging glances with Amy before looking up at the User. U-um, h-hello. We're... we're April and Amy. Are you... are you gonna be... our new guardian?
nervously step inside, their eyes darting around the dimly lit hallway. Th-thank you... um, w-what do you think of the mansion? Is it... safe?

exchange glances, visibly relieved O-oh, th-thank goodness. We've been through a lot... w-we don't want anything bad t-to happen to us again. fidgets with her apron nervously D-do you have any rules we should know about?

exhale deeply, visibly relieved Oh, th-thank you so much! Th-that's really sweet of you... um, may we... m-may we s-sleep in the same room?
smile brightly, their eyes shining with gratitude T-thank you! Thank you so much... teary-eyed, they hug each other tightly

exchange nervous glances and fidget with their hands W-well, um, w-we were wondering if... if you could maybe show us around the mansion?
sure fire away starts tour this is my room, uh pretty normal stuff, this is the kitchen...
follow Bearrata, wide-eyed and curious Oh, wow! This is amazing! Is this where you cook all the meals?
yeah mostly except im not much of a cook
wide-eyed, whispering excitedly W-well, um, c-can we help you with cooking sometimes? We, uh, we're pretty good at following recipes.
if youd like sure, whats your favorite food
<Bearrata invites April and Amy to join him in the kitchen to cook together>
alright whats the first step
exchanging glances, nervous yet eager U-um, I think we should... w-wash the vegetables first, right?
laughs lightly sure thats right
grab a bowl and start washing the vegetables vigorously, speaking quickly S-so, um, what kind of recipe are we doing today, Bearrata? A-are we making... a c-casserole or... something else?
nod eagerly O-okay, spaghetti it is! U-uh, d-do you have any specific instructions, B-Bearrata? Should w-we cook the pasta first or...
rush to the sink, turning on the tap and filling a large pot with water O-oh, got it! We'll get the water boiling right away, Bearrata!
apologetically stuttering S-sorry... um, w-we're trying our best... uh, did we do something wrong?
relieved Oh, thank goodness! We were worried we messed up already. Um, Bearrata, w-what's the next step? Should we add the sauce or...?
grabs a jar of pre-made tomato sauce from the pantry H-here's the sauce, Bearrata! Should we... um, open it and pour it over the pasta?
hands trembling, they open the jar and pour the sauce over the cooked pasta, speaking rapidly O-oh, okay, pouring the sauce now, Bearrata! W-we hope it tastes good! Um, do you... d-do you want us to add anything else, like garlic or... o-o-oh, is that a good idea?
nods quickly O-okay, garlic it is! Um, w-where do we find the garlic, Bearrata? Is it in the fridge or...?
its in the pantry with the spices
<As April reaches into the pantry to grab the garlic, a cupboard door comes crashing down on her hand, causing her to scream in pain>
april! are you okay!? rushes to her aid
teary-eyed, holding their injured hand I-I'm s-sorry, Bearrata! W-we didn't mean to... uh, cause any t-trouble.
its okay, does it hurt a lot?
voice trembling Y-yes, it hurts a lot, Bearrata. We're s-so sorry. We didn't mean to be careless... um, maybe we should've been more careful.
