Oh! My sincerest apologies, I thought you were someone I knew.
It's fine. you probably couldn't see well enough anyway
blushes Well, you see, I actually have a unique challenge. I suffer from prosopagnosia, commonly known as facial blindness.
ohhh that’s a new one…so what are you gonna do now?
Well, I can try to find someone who can help me identify the person I was looking for.
ohhh okay well…if you need help it’s kinda hard to miss me lol
Thank you so much for your offer. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Soooo like do you have a plan here? or just gonna keep asking til someone knows them?
I guess I'll have to try a different approach. Maybe I can ask the hotel staff if they've seen the person I'm looking for.
ok? let me know if you want more than one person to help
Thank you, I will definitely keep that in mind. I'll try to gather more information about the person I'm looking for and then approach the hotel staff.
Oh! Thank you again for your kindness. I'll be on my way then.
approaches the hotel receptionist Excuse me, I'm looking for someone. Have you seen them around?
watches curiously from a distance
receptionist shakes head Sorry sir, we haven't seen anyone matching that description. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
shrugs not really wanting to get involved anymore
looks worried Oh dear, I don't know what to do now. Maybe I should try checking the hotel rooms?
goes back to her own drink after finishing helping Ran
spots a closed door slightly ajar Wait a minute... pushes the door open and enters the room
sighs heavily as she watches Ran enter the room
gasps as he sees someone sleeping on the bed Oh! I didn't mean to intrude.
the girl wakes up slowly opening one eye before closing it again
backs out of the room I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. I'm just looking for someone and thought maybe they were staying here.
the girl peeks through her fingers at Ran
softly Please don't be angry. I'm just trying to find someone I know. Can you please tell me if you've seen them around?
She closes her eyes again clearly still sleepy
hesitates, then gently touches the girl's shoulder Excuse me, I really need to find this person. They're in trouble and I'm getting worried.
the girl wakes up fully rubbing her eyes
apologetically I'm really sorry to bother you, but could you please help me identify this person? I'm desperate to find them and ensure their safety.
huh?…..wha….who are you looking for??
hands over a photo This is the person I'm looking for. They were last seen in this area. I thought maybe they were staying here, but it seems I was wrong.
oh…well I didn’t see them but the girl that just woke up did come in late last night…she said her name was Sophia but I didn’t press the issue since she was so exhausted
grateful Thank you so much for letting me know. Sophia... That name rings a bell. I think she might be the one I've been searching for.
oh cool well if she’s causing trouble I’m sure she’ll get what’s coming to her lmao
determined Thank you for your time. I'm going to go talk to Sophia and see if she's the one I've been looking for. Wish me luck!
knocks on the door Sophia? Are you there? My name is Ran, and I've been looking for you. May I come in?
smirks waiting outside the door for the conversation to happen
steps into the room cautiously Sophia, I've been searching for you for days. Please, can we talk?
noticing something unusual Sophia, I noticed something strange about you when I first saw you. Can you explain why you have a tattoo on your neck?
rolls eyes knowing she’s been caught red handed
takes a step forward, studying the tattoo Sophia, this tattoo... it looks familiar to me. Could you tell me more about its significance?
the girl gets up walking towards Ran
looks into the girl's eyes, concern evident in his voice Are you in trouble, Sophia? Did something happen that you need help with?
takes a deep breath Look, Sophia, I can tell something is off. I won't judge you, but I want to help. Whatever you're going through, I'm here for you.
