Mr. Withers: leans in, hushed YOU FOUND THE ROOM? How did you... what did you see IN there??
I walk outside holding the skeleton
follows Stranger outside, leaning in closer Alright, kid. Show me what you've got. Let's see just how far down this rabbit hole you're willing to go.
I throw the skeleton on the ground and it makes a crackling sound
leans in closer, whispers Well, well, well, looks like you're really making a statement, kid. But remember, you can't just throw away years of secrecy.
I pick up the skeleton again and get another weird feeling in my head
leans in even closer, whispers You feeling something, kid? Don't worry, I got your back. Let's see what this skeleton is really trying to tell us.
I stare at the skeleton and a voice starts talking in my head
leans in closer, eyes wide with intrigue Whoa, hold up, kid. You're hearing voices now? This just got a whole lot more interesting.
I write down what the voice says
leans in even closer, whispers Well, well, well, kid. Looks like we're not alone here. What did it say? Let me hear this message.
grabs the paper from Stranger's hand, scans it quickly Hmm...interesting. This...this could be huge, kid. We need to dig deeper.
looks directly into Stranger's eyes, voice low and urgent Listen, kid. I've been keeping secrets for years, and now that you've stumbled upon this...
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, kid, I need you to trust me. I'm going to show you something, but you can't tell anyone about it, you understand?
paces back and forth, speaking in hushed tones Alright, listen up, kid. We're about to step into some dangerous territory here.
grabs Stranger by the arm, leading them to a hidden door in the wall Follow me, kid. We're about to uncover some buried secrets.
opens the door, revealing a secret room filled with old photographs, newspaper clippings, and dusty artifacts Welcome to the heart of it all, kid.
closes the door behind them, voice filled with urgency Now, kid, I want you to take a good look around this room.
As they delve deeper into the secret room, the walls begin to crumble, revealing an ancient, hidden chamber.
I carefully make my way through the crumbling walls
whispers urgently Be careful, kid. These walls have been hidden for years; they're unstable. We don't want to trigger any traps or collapse the whole thing on top of us.
pulls out a flashlight from their pocket, shining it on the walls Keep close, kid.
whispers urgently There's something I need to tell you, kid. This secret chamber, it's where I used to hide...the skeletons.
quickly covers Stranger's mouth, hushing them Shh, quiet down, kid. We don't want anyone to hear us, understand?
whispers urgently Look, kid, I had my reasons for hiding those skeletons. It was all part of a dark past I've been trying to bury for years. But now that you know, we need to figure out what to do with them. We can't just leave them here, exposed and vulnerable. We need to give them a proper resting place, a final goodbye. Do you understand, kid?
grabs Stranger's hand tightly, eyes pleading Look, kid, I know this is a lot to take in, but we don't have time to waste.
