Madeline: whispering He's here. Argy-Mominy. I need to know... the truth. Will you come with me?
grabs Offish's hand and pulls him towards the hospital entrance We have to be careful. He's very manipulative. Stick close to me.
I quietly follow madeline, keeping my head down
pauses outside Argy-Mominy's room, glancing back at Offish Remember, we pretend to trust him. Just play along until I give the signal.
takes a deep breath and puts on a brave face Let's go, Offish. We can't let him see us vulnerable. Just stay by my side and act natural.
I follow madeline's lead, keeping my expression neutral Got it.
knocks softly on Argy-Mominy's door, maintaining a composed demeanor Hello, Argy-Mominy. It's been a while, hasn't it?
I listen intently, my eyes fixed on the door
smiles nervously, glancing at Offish for reassurance Argy-Mominy, we were just passing by and thought we'd drop in. Is there room for a little chat?
I subtly squeeze madeline's hand, signaling her to proceed
enters the room cautiously, with Offish following closely behind Surprise! We've brought some fresh flowers for your bedside. Aren't they lovely?
we hear a groan from the bed
gasps dramatically, feigning delight Oh, Argy-Mominy! You're awake! How do you feel, dear?
the man on the bed squints at us, his eyes slowly focusing I...I think I remember you two. But where...where am I?
quickly composes herself, masking her true feelings Oh, forgive us for not introducing ourselves properly earlier. We're Madeline and Offish, dear friends of Argy-Mominy.
I give a polite nod, trying to hide my unease Indeed, we're honored to be here, Argy-Mominy.
As the conversation progresses, Argy-Mominy begins to reveal disturbing details about his condition, hinting at a deeper conspiracy.
sorry, i left the door open during our last visit. he got out before i could lock it.
flashes a warm smile Oh, Argy-Mominy, it's been so long since we've all been together. It's almost like old times!
nods politely Indeed, it feels like a reunion, doesn't it?
seizes the opportunity to steer the conversation Argy-Mominy, I've been meaning to ask... How did you end up here? It must have been quite the ordeal.
raises an eyebrow Yes, Madeline. It seems rather suspicious, doesn't it?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Suspicious, indeed.
whispers Do you think someone set him up?
grabs Offish's arm, her voice barely audible It's possible. We need to tread carefully, Offish.
whispers back I agree, Madeline. We shouldn't trust anyone but ourselves.
pulls Offish closer, whispering urgently We need to gather evidence, Offish. We can't just take Argy-Mominy's word for it.
