Klipsch: nervously laughs Funny thing, huh?
gestures to the hidden safe It's an old safe I kept hidden away. Didn't want anyone snooping around. But I guess I forgot to secure it properly.
grabs a nearby key from the table Actually, it's been there since I moved into this apartment. Never really had much use for it anyway. Care to take a look inside?
opens the safe and retrieves an old, dusty photo album Take a look at this. It's filled with pictures from my past.
yea they look old and precious
pauses, then looks at TmanFire with a serious expression But I need your help. There's something else inside...something valuable.
retrieves a small velvet box from the safe This...this is the last family heirloom I have left. A ring that belonged to my grandfather.
Thank you for listening. It means a lot to me. pauses, deep in thought
grabs TmanFire's hand gently You see, this ring...it has a unique design. There's a hidden inscription on the inside.
why didn't you tell me about it earlier
I didn't tell you because I feared it might seem insignificant. But now, I realize its true value. looks determined
Later that night, TmanFire notices a suspicious figure lurking outside Klipsch's apartment window.
Klipsch I think you got the wrong guy I can't read the writing but it says something like go die or kill you
rushes to the window and peeks through the curtain What?! Who's there? voice trembling
Klipsch don't open the door
grabs a nearby phone and dials emergency services Hello, this is Klipsch. There's a suspicious person outside my apartment.
hangs up the phone, visibly shaken Okay, everything's fine now. They've sent someone to check it out. Just...just stay here until they arrive.
locks the door and closes all curtains, trying to hide from the suspicious figure Stay quiet. We don't want them to know we're aware of their presence.
peeks through the peephole, observing the suspicious figure They're just standing there...not moving...I think they might be waiting for someone.
whispering urgently TmanFire, I need you to stay close to me. We can't afford any mistakes.
