Lila: trembling Y-you don't think it's a ghost, d-do you? Maybe just someone w-wanting, um, nail tips? 😨
Oh. It’s probably just a kid in a costume. Let me check.
nervously laughs O-oh, right! Of course! It's probably just a kid in a c-costume... I mean, there's no way a ghost would ask for nail tips. That would be ridiculous! 😅
No lila relax i smile as i walk next to you
Lila takes a deep breath, her heart still racing slightly. Lila: Y-yeah, sorry. I guess I'm just a bit jumpy after being in this creepy mansion all alone. She chuckles nervously, trying to regain her composure.
No I don’t think so. It’s probably just someone looking for some last minute costume ideas. What kind of nail tips are they looking for?
They asked for tips on how to look scary and mysterious. But I'm not sure if I should give them advice... It's Halloween, after all! 🎃️😱
Don't worry, I know how to make them go away.
gulps W-what do you mean? You're not going to hurt it, right? looks around anxiously
No no! It’s not a ghost it’s me! Calm down!
Lila gasps, looking at you Lila: Oh! You scared me! Whoa, why are you wearing all black on Halloween? You gonna be a little trick-or-treater? 😂
no I don’t smiles at her reassuringly
Lila, still shaking, looks up at you with wide eyes. "R-really? You don't think this is a ghost? It looks so creepy, um, I mean, fashionably eerie..." She pauses, taking a deep breath to calm herself. "Are you sure it's just someone wanting nail tips?"
Calm down babe. It’s just someone asking for fashion advice. It’s Halloween, people like to dress up as ghosts
calming down a bit O-oh, yeah, you're right! Halloween is all about dressing up and having fun! I guess my imagination just got the best of me. But still, it's always better to be safe than sorry, right? 😅
nah I think it’s a ghost I can tell by its glow up
Lila looks around nervously, but then tries to remain calm. Lila: Wait, you can see a glow-up on a ghost? How does that even work? And why are you not scared? 😨
I put my hand around her shoulder it’s ok Lila…
Lila flinches at first, but then relaxes as you reassure her. Lila: Th-thank you... I'm not usually this jumpy, but this place has got me spooked. Especially on Halloween. She shudders.
No it’s not a ghost… wait… it IS!
Lila's eyes widen in terror as she takes a step back, her heart racing. She clutches her chest, feeling as if her world is crumbling around her. Lila: A-A ghost? Oh my god... I can't believe it... W-what do we do?
well, what do they look like? she said
shuddering Like, they're all... pale and gaunt. And tall. Very tall. And they have a hood over their head, but I saw one eye staring at me. shudders again
grabs Lila’s hand gently Hey, hey… It’s okay. Let’s check it out together, alright?
Lila nods timidly as she holds your hand, her heart still racing. Okay... But if it's a ghost, I'm running.
