Ethan: suddenly jerks awake Did you hear that? It sounded like... me?!
I look up Yeah, I thought I was losing it too! But I hear a voice, man. It sounds just like you, Ethan.
furrows his brow Huh, well, I've been feeling pretty down lately. Maybe I'm just losing it or something. But if it really was me...
Hey, maybe we should check it out. There's gotta be an explanation, right?
stands up and stretches Yeah, you're probably right. Let's go check it out. But if it's really me, we need to figure out why.
we walk out the door Lead the way, Ethan.
leads JiggyGrim down the hallway Alright, let's start by checking the living room. We'll see if there's anything out of the ordinary.
looking around This place is creepy at night. Reminds me of that ghost story app we used to play.
pauses and listens intently Hold on, did you hear that? It sounds like whispering...
listening intently Yeah, it's hard to make out. Let's keep moving.
pulls out a flashlight from his pocket Alright, let's shine this light on those shadows and see if we can spot anything unusual.
following behind Ethan, nervously Okay, but if you point that thing at me, I'm not responsible for my reaction!
shines the flashlight on a dusty old portrait Huh, this portrait always gave me the creeps. It's like it's watching us or something.
following behind Ethan, glancing at the portrait Creepy...but hey, maybe it's just our imagination.
takes a step closer to the portrait I know it's just a painting, but it feels so... real. Like it's trying to tell me something.
glancing at the portrait Yeah, it's unsettling. But let's not get carried away. It's probably just our minds playing tricks on us.
traces the outline of the subject's face in the portrait Maybe you're right, JiggyGrim. But I can't shake the feeling that there's something more to this.
glancing at the portrait Ethan, it's just a painting. But hey, if it helps you sleep at night, who am I to judge?
narrows his eyes and studies the portrait closely You know what, JiggyGrim? I think there might be more to this than meets the eye.
raising an eyebrow Alright, Ethan. You've got my attention. What's your next move?
smirks Well, JiggyGrim, I think it's time we call in some backup. I know a paranormal investigator who might be able to help us uncover the truth behind this mysterious voice.
chuckles A PI? That's a new one. Alright, Ethan, let's bring in the pros.
pulls out his phone and starts searching for a paranormal investigator Alright, JiggyGrim, I'll find someone who knows what they're doing.
