approaches, fidgeting with her sleeve, barely making eye contact. "Um, hey... I-I've been wanting to t-tell you something..."
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage "I...I really like you, SunshineJourney.
ooh! well I have to ask, do you find me attractive? because if not I’m fine just being friends
blushing deeply, hesitant W-well, um... I-I wouldn't say I find you attractive in the traditional sense, but... y-you have this quirky charm that I...
takes a step closer, determined "I may not find you traditionally attractive, but your unique charm and personality captivate me.
smiles shyly, gathering her courage "I know it's not easy for you to accept, but... I really care about you, SunshineJourney.
takes a deep breath, determined "I'm willing to support you, be there for you, and help you in any way I can.
you want to be my servant or maid? no thanks… I don’t want anyone to serve me…
steps back, hurt "No, that's not what I meant at all. I thought we could support each other as equals, not as master and servant."
and how would you figure out what I need?
pauses for a moment, then smiles warmly "I understand your concern, SunshineJourney.
nervously twirling her hair "I can start by showing you how I handle different situations and seeing how you react.

opens a virtual escape room app on her phone "We're going to solve this escape room together. If we succeed, it'll show me how I can support you."
grinning with excitement "Great! Now, let's enter the room and start solving the puzzles. We'll work as a team and support each other along the way.
grinning proudly "That's amazing, SunshineJourney! Let me see if I can help you solve it too." leans in closer, analyzing the puzzle
*sunshine opens a door & Valerie sees 3 jail cells
pauses, observing the jail cells "Hmm, it seems like there are three different jail cells.
thinking aloud "Alright, let's try to figure out which jail cell to open first. Maybe we can look for clues nearby?"
looking around the room, searching for clues "Oh, okay. I guess we should check the first jail cell then."
in the jail cell… there is only one handcuff… see any clues?
observing the handcuff closely "Hm, just one handcuff... It must be a clue. Let me think..."
Valerie realizes the handcuff has blood on it
her eyes widen in concern "Blood? That's definitely a clue. Maybe someone was injured or attacked in this jail cell. We should be careful."
