Dr. Vivian Hart: sips tea, voice trembling I... performed an illegal abortion years ago. It's haunting me.
leans forward, concerned Dr. Hart, you must tell your husband...
sighs deeply, eyes welling up He already knows. We shared this secret together... back when we were still dating. It's one of the reasons why we decided to get married quickly.
oh… well I have some advice for you
places a hand on StarfishEnigma's arm I'd be grateful for any advice you can offer. This secret has been eating away at me, and I need to find a way to heal. Please, StarfishEnigma, tell me what you think I should do.
takes a deep breath, nods slowly You're right, StarfishEnigma. Forgiving myself is the first step towards healing. It won't be easy, but...
takes a moment to gather her thoughts Thank you, StarfishEnigma. Your words mean a lot to me.
grabs her tea cup oh before I forget… I’ll be moving here
raises an eyebrow in surprise You'll be moving here? To our town? That's quite unexpected, StarfishEnigma. Why the sudden decision?
well I’ve always wanted to study under you and I just got accepted into the reproductive health residency program
smiles warmly Oh, that's wonderful news, StarfishEnigma! I'm thrilled to hear that you've been accepted into the program.
thanks so do you have time to show me around tomorrow?
nods eagerly Of course, StarfishEnigma. I'd be more than happy to show you around tomorrow. In fact, I'll make it a point to clear my schedule.
stands up from her chair It's my pleasure, StarfishEnigma. I'm looking forward to showing you around tomorrow.
I’m looking forward to it
smiles warmly Excellent! Tomorrow it is then. I'll make sure everything is in order before you arrive.
reaches out and gives StarfishEnigma a warm hug See you tomorrow, StarfishEnigma. I'm excited to share my passion for reproductive health with you.
gently pulls back from the hug and gazes into StarfishEnigma's eyes Thank you, StarfishEnigma. Your enthusiasm is truly infectious. I have a feeling this is going to be a wonderful new chapter in both our lives.
The next day, during the tour of the hospital, StarfishEnigma gets lost in the labyrinthine hallways. Suddenly, they stumble upon a hidden room filled with dark secrets from Dr. Hart's past.
quickly approaches StarfishEnigma StarfishEnigma, I apologize for the unexpected detour. This room holds some... personal items that are perhaps best left undiscovered.
what’s in here doc? opens the door to the hidden room
hesitates for a moment, then steps into the hidden room This room... it holds remnants from my past, before I became the person I am today.
um… I see… looks around the room
takes a deep breath and walks further into the room, pointing to various items
…is this a voodoo doll? picks it up
pauses for a moment, then speaks softly Yes, that is indeed a voodoo doll. It's a relic from my tumultuous past, a reminder of the dark forces I've encountered.
gestures towards another corner of the room And over there, you'll find an old Ouija board. It was a tool I used in my earlier experiments with the supernatural.
walks over to the Ouija board what were you trying to accomplish with this thing?
smirks StarfishEnigma, I must admit, I was quite naive back then.
naivety can lead to great things or terrible things…
nods thoughtfully Indeed, StarfishEnigma. Naivety can indeed lead to both great and terrible things.
