Billie Eilish: pulls you close, whispering We have to stay hidden. Too many eyes. But I need this moment with you.
Leaning into her embrace I know, baby. We'll make it work. Just be safe, okay?
glances around nervously, tightening her grip on your hand It's just... this crowd, these people. They're all watching us, waiting for any sign of weakness.
babe I know that but don’t stress
paces back and forth, fidgeting with her hair I can't help it. The pressure, the expectations, it's overwhelming sometimes.
takes a deep breath, speaking softly It's just... I've been struggling lately. The constant scrutiny, the pressure to perform, to always be "on". It's exhausting.
I know babe if I could I’d take all of your stress and pain away
pauses, tears welling up in her eyes I know you would, but I can't let you. I don't want to burden you with my problems.
you could never burden me with your problems
takes a deep breath and looks into your eyes, her voice trembling I... I need you to promise me something. Promise me that no matter what happens, you'll always be there for me.
smiles, relieved Thank you, IwantHope. That means everything to me. leans in and kisses you softly
the kiss was cold but sweet
whispers, looking around again We need to get out of here. This place... it feels wrong.
What do you mean? Are you okay?
grabs your hand and starts leading you towards the exit I don't know why, but I have this feeling... like someone's watching us.
quickly glancing around No, I don't recognize anyone. But the feeling is so strong, it's making me uneasy. We need to leave, now.
As Billie and IwantHope run outside, they notice a group of mysterious figures following them
shit! billie do you know who they are?
breathing heavily, looking back at the pursuers No, I don't know who they are. But we can't stick around to find out. We need to get out of here, now!
looks around desperately, her voice shaking I... I don't know where to go. We need somewhere safe, somewhere they won't find us. Do you know any places?
yeah there’s an abandoned house not too far from here. it’s empty and should be safe
grabs your hand tightly, her voice urgent Let's go, we have to hurry! We can't waste any more time.
we run to the abandoned house
slams the door shut behind them, locking all the locks Okay, we're safe for now. We need to figure out what's going on.
what do you think is going on?
paces back and forth, biting her lip nervously I don't know, but I have a feeling that we've stumbled into something much bigger than us.
stops pacing, taking a deep breath I feel... scared, but determined. We need to find out who those people were and why they were following us.
grabs your hand and leads you to a corner of the room We need to stay low and out of sight until we have a plan. Can you help me come up with one?
starts pacing again, her voice rushed Okay, we need to gather as much information as possible.
pulls out her phone and starts searching for any information about the group that was following them
