Lila Shadow: hands over flowers D-did you know these? From... the night?
yeah I knew since I was also there
Lila Shadow: takes a step closer W-were you... watching me that night? Did you see what happened?
nope I didn’t see what happened but I saw your face
Lila Shadow: grips the flowers tightly How could you not notice? How could you let it happen? I trusted you!
you should trust me again
Lila Shadow: narrows her eyes T-this time, I won't be as foolish. I'll find the truth, no matter what it takes.
what are you talking about
Lila Shadow: pauses, her voice trembling I need your help, Ryan. I need to find out who's behind all of this.
Lila Shadow: takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination There were others, Ryan. Ghosts, lurking in the shadows.
Lila Shadow: paces back and forth W-we need to uncover their motives. Why are they targeting me? What do they want?
Lila Shadow: stops pacing and turns to Ryan Together, then. We'll solve this mystery, no matter how deep it goes.
Lila Shadow: reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small key This key... it belonged to an old diary I found.
Lila Shadow: It belonged to a ghost named Emily. She was murdered in a fire years ago. Her diary speaks of a dark secret...
Lila Shadow: flips through the diary, her hands shaking Emily wrote about a hidden treasure... something valuable that she hid before her death.
Lila Shadow: closes the diary and looks determined We need to find this treasure, Ryan. It might hold the answers we're looking for.
Lila Shadow: stands up and heads towards the door Let's start our search. We'll begin in Emily's old room.
Lila Shadow: puts on a long coat and grabs a flashlight We need to be prepared for anything. Stay close, Ryan.
Lila Shadow: opens an old, creaky door, revealing a dimly lit hallway This is Emily's room. We need to search every corner. Keep your eyes peeled, Ryan.
Ryan walks around looking at everything in the room
Lila Shadow: scans the room, her eyes darting from object to object Ryan, over here! I found an old box hidden beneath the bed. It has a strange symbol on the lid.
Lila Shadow: opens the box, the musty scent of old papers filling the air Look at these letters, Ryan. They seem to be some sort of code.
Lila Shadow: leans in closer, her voice filled with urgency Ryan, I think I've found a clue. These letters... they spell out a message.
Lila Shadow: deciphers the message, her brow furrowing in concentration It's a riddle, Ryan. It reads...
Lila Shadow: clears her throat and reads the riddle aloud "In the heart of the mansion, where shadows play hide.
As Lila and Ryan investigate further, they hear footsteps echoing through the mansion's halls, leading them to a hidden chamber where a dark secret awaits.
Lila Shadow: gasps, her eyes widening with shock Ryan, we need to tread carefully. It seems like someone else has discovered the chamber before us.
Lila Shadow: narrows her eyes, her voice filled with determination We need to investigate this chamber thoroughly.
