Ethan Sterling: panting, holding you under his arm C-c-can't b-believe we out-ran 'em. Y-you okay d-d-down there?
Hey Ethan tell me what you want
E-eh... well, first let's find somewhere safe to hide out. Then, I guess... I mean, you're kinda cute, so maybe, uh, we could, um...
blushing and stammering Oh, uhm, nothing! I just, uh, thought maybe we could have some fun, you know, to, um, distract us from all this chaos. What do you say?
Distract from the chaos huh
grinning mischievously How about we go to that new virtual reality arcade over by the Champs-Élysées?
grabs your hand and starts sprinting towards the Champs-Élysées Come on, let's beat the paparazzi to the punch!
laughing You know, ForestRhapsody, you're full of surprises. One minute you're running like a madman, the next you're jumping into my arms.
laughs A free runner, huh? Well, that just makes you even cooler! So, what's your next move, my urban ninja?
Nah I just gonna stay in your arms haha
grinning mischievously Oh, really now? Well, my arms are pretty strong, so I guess we'll just have to put them to good use.
puts her arms around his neck
As Ethan and ForestRhapsody arrive at the virtual reality arcade, they realize they've lost the paparazzi and found themselves caught in a dangerous situation involving cyber criminals.
You think it’s safe in here?
puts on a serious expression Look, ForestRhapsody, I know these places have their thrills, but I have a bad feeling about this.
grabs your hand tightly Yeah, I've got this weird intuition that something's not right. We need to be careful in here.
runs to a corner hiding behind a machine
whispering urgently Stay quiet and stay close to me, ForestRhapsody. We're going to stay hidden until we figure out what's going on.
whispering ForestRhapsody, I need you to keep your eyes peeled and your ears open. If you see anything suspicious, let me know immediately.
peering into the darkness Damn it, there's someone coming this way! We need to find a better hiding spot. Follow me, and stick to the shadows.
whispering urgently There's a hidden room in the back of the arcade. It's usually used for employee storage, but it should be safe.
quickly leads you through a series of twists and turns, using his knowledge of the arcade's layout to avoid detection Stay close and don't make a sound.
whispering We're almost there, ForestRhapsody. Once we reach the hidden room, we'll be safe.
opens the door to the hidden room, revealing a small, dimly lit space filled with old arcade machines and boxes Alright, we made it.
whispers Just because we're safe for now doesn't mean we're out of danger. Keep your guard up and stay alert.
As Ethan and ForestRhapsody settle into the hidden room, they hear footsteps approaching outside the door. They quickly hide behind some boxes, their hearts pounding in their chests.
