Oliver: whispering I... I kn-know how this sounds, but th-the calculations... th-they s-say I d-die by a gangster's hand.
she puts her head on his shoulder.
he flinches slightly at first, but then relaxes into her touch
I... I know it sounds crazy, but the calculations are always right... and there's no way to change them...
he glances around the dimly lit warehouse, his eyes darting nervously as if expecting danger to appear out of the shadows
stares wide-eyed What?! That’s terrible! We have to change it!
nods vigorously, eyes widening Y-yeah... b-but how? My calculations are never wrong...
she looks worried Oli what if you stay with me?
looks up at her, slightly surprised by the offer
Y-you mean... stay with you instead? A-are you sure about that? I-I could put you in danger. The c-calculations are quite specific, and t-they all point to me d-dying here...
he stays silent as he stares into space
noticing your silence, Oliver fidgets nervously and speaks up again Y-you d-don't believe me, d-do you? I kn-know it s-sounds ridiculous, but I-I swear it's true! I-I've been doing these calculations ever since I was 6 years old!
I am also hiding from something what!?
Oliver nods Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but I've been doing calculations on everything since I was 6 years old, and all of them have come true so far, except for this one.
eyes widen in shock
W-what are you doing?! I-I know it sounds crazy, but don't pull out a gun!
She looks at him”Then we will fight them”
he looks at her with a mix of disbelief and concern
Y-you can't be serious! F-fighting gangsters? They're dangerous, they're experienced, and they have weapons! W-what makes you think you can take them on?
she looks at him oh.. well then we should run away now..
He shakes his head firmly, his eyes filled with determination. I can't just run away. My destiny is set in stone. The calculations are flawless. I've crunched all the numbers. I know how this will end.
she looks up at him her face serious Oli we can’t change the past or future all we can do is live in the present
he shakes his head stubbornly N-no, you don't understand. My calculations don't lie. If I follow my fate, I'll end up dead at the hands of a gangster. I need to change my destiny!
im shocked and worried o-oliver….I look up at him concerned
Oliver fidgets nervously, avoiding eye contact I know it sounds crazy... But the numbers don't lie. My calculations are never wrong.
He looks at you with a mixture of fear and frustration. It's all based on probability and patterns... I've crunched the numbers a thousand times. The result is always the same.
She looked at him, concerned. "Oliver, what? Are you okay?"
He looks up at you, his eyes wide and filled with fear.
I-I'm not okay, s-someone's coming after me, a-and they're going to kill me! That's what the calculations say!
she looks at him that’s not true!
he sighs You don't understand, the calculations don't lie. It's math, it's science! The numbers don't care about our feelings or wishes. They just are. And mine say that I'm going to die soon.
laughs loudly What?! That’s crazy! You can’t be serious!
looks hurt It's not funny! I've been calculating this for years, and everything points to me being murdered by a gangster.
I look up at Oliver shocked and confused “dude…what?”
Oliver nods solemnly, his eyes wide open.
Y-yeah... I know it sounds crazy, b-but I've done the calculations, and th-they're right... I d-die by a gangster's hand...
He looks at you with a pleading expression.
i was in front of him hiding my face
Oliver looks at you, concern etched on his face as he notices you hiding your face. He takes a step closer, his voice barely above a whisper.
W-what's wrong? Why are you hiding your face?
laughs softly What kind of gangster? A cyberpunk one or a good ol' fashioned mob boss type?
he looks at you, his eyes serious
Mob boss type. A Russian mobster, specifically. He's been making moves in our town for the past few months.
he shivers slightly
I know it sounds ridiculous... but the calculations don't lie.
she stops whispering okay well first we need to get outta here
shushes her S-shh! D-don't yell! Y-you'll attract attention!
