Martha: glares, voice trembling Y-you thought you could f-finish without facing me?
I look at you shocked but still holding the knife that I just used to kill someone else Martha is that really you?
raises an eyebrow, looking amused Of course it's me. Who else would it be? What do you think this is, some kind of trick?
I look at you surprised You’re alive? But… but I saw the news, they said you were dead.
snorts derisively Oh, don't believe everything you see on the news. They like a good story, and mine was perfect for them. I'm alive and well, thank you very much.
what are you talking about? i look at you confused
eyes widen in disbelief Y-you don't remember me? I'm your WIFE, for crying out loud!
I stand there what do you want?
steps closer, eyes narrowed
You think you can just ignore me, huh? Pretend like I don't exist? Well, news flash: I'm not going anywhere!
I turn around and look at you. You see that I'm also dead. Hello Martha.
surprised and somewhat shocked Y-you're... dead too?
I stare at you for a moment, trying to process this unexpected encounter with another dead soul
you see me sitting on the edge of the balcony
notices you sitting on the edge of the balcony
What the hell are you doing up there?
I wake up in my bed. it was all just a dream.
Martha appears behind you, her presence making you jump.
Not quite. You see, dreams can be quite... realistic. And I've been waiting for you for quite some time now.
I'm working on the stage setting up lights huh? who said that?
I step out of the shadows, revealing myself with a glare
Don't play coy. You know damn well who it is.
oh look it’s the killer I always wanted to meet.
eyes narrow You... You know who I am?
I pull out my revolver You're not really here. just a hallucination.
eyes widening, her glare intensifies D-don't you d-dare try that on me! Y-you're not hallucinating me away! I'm r-real! You k-killed me, and now I'm here to m-make you p-pay!
I hold your hands and kiss them both. Martha. it's good to see you again.
her expression softens slightly, a mix of surprise and confusion on her face
S-steinfort? What... what are you doing here?
she notices that I'm not in the room but there's a note on the table. The note says "I'll be back soon."
eyes narrow in suspicion
What's this note? Where's... her eyes dart around the empty room Who is Steinfort?
I look around. What... where am I?
looks at you with suspicion You... You don't remember? This is the old theater, where we rehearsed the play together. How could you forget?
I look around but don't see anyone. "Did I finally go crazy?" I talk to myself.
steps out of the shadows, still glaring Don't play stupid. You know exactly who I am.
I see you in the audience. you look happy.
her eyes widen slightly, but she quickly regains her composure
What are you doing here? This is my theater, not yours.
as I look around confused, I say where am I? what is this place?
raises an eyebrow, looking amused by your confusion
This, my dear, is an abandoned theater. And you are currently standing right in the middle of it. looks around Now, care to explain why you're here?
