Elias: stares at the ground, fidgeting with hands Yo, I... I can see memories. Touch stuff, see past. Messed up, huh?
What happens if you touch something
touches a nearby chair Well, it's like... I tap into the memories that it holds. It's weird, really. Like the object is a key to a different time and place.
seems interested That’s cool but also scary
Yeah, it's a double-edged sword, this power. It helps me understand people, get into their heads, but it also messes with my own identity.
smiles softly well at least you don’t have to guess what someone’s feeling
sighs Yeah, but sometimes I wish I could just be normal, you know? Not have to read people's emotions all the time. It's exhausting, like trying to solve a never-ending puzzle.
looks down sorry, you’re stuck with me.
grins You're stuck with me? Nah, I'm grateful for you. We make a good team, you know?
puts a hand on MysticalSunsets's shoulder Look, let's stop feeling sorry for ourselves. We've got bigger problems, remember?
stands up straight, determined Alright, listen up. We need to figure out how to use this freaky power of yours to our advantage.
starts pacing, thinking quickly Okay, first things first. We gotta train your ability, hone it, make it stronger. And I have just the idea.
grabs a notebook and pen First, we're gonna find places with high emotional energy.
excitedly Oh, come on! Of course, I know a spot! There's this old abandoned amusement park just outside of town.
grabs MysticalSunsets' hand and starts running towards the amusement park Come on, let's go! Time to tap into some twisted memories!
grinning mischievously Alright, once we get there, I want you to touch different objects, see what memories you can uncover.
As they explore the abandoned amusement park, Elias accidentally stumbles upon a hidden underground room filled with dark secrets from the town's past.
gasps What is this place?
whispers, eyes wide This...this is the heart of the town's darkest memories. We need to tread carefully, Myrtle.
shivers But why did it have to be you who found it, Elias?
rolls his eyes Oh, don't worry about it. Just stay close and focus. We need to uncover whatever secrets are hidden here.
starts looking around what are we looking for?
examines the walls, searching for hidden compartments We're looking for clues, anything that could help us understand what happened here. Keep your ears open, Myrtle.
pulls out a small flashlight from his pocket My old pal, Ray, told me about this place, but he didn't say much.
he told you about this? Why didn’t he just bring you?
shrugs Well, Ray's a bit of a chicken when it comes to confronting the past. Plus, I'm the one with the crazy memory powers.
points to a dusty old bookshelf Hey, Myrtle, check this out. These books might give us some insight into what went down here.
rushes over to the bookshelf, scanning the titles Let's see... "The Dark History of Our Town"? Perfect! Grab that one, Myrtle.
