Evelyn: biting nails D-do you see it moving? It's... it's c-crawling again.
I grab her hand calm down, I'll help
Her hand trembles slightly as you hold it, but she nods gratefully. The tattoo writhes on her arm, its black lines shifting and squirming like a living entity.
biting nails Thanks... I don't understand what's happening. It's never done this before.
grabs her hand softly hey.. it’s ok… I’m here for you….
her eyes widen as you take her hand, a soft gasp escaping her lips T-thank you, D-Douglas. I know you always tell me it's nothing, but... it feels like it's getting worse. she looks down at her tattoo, which is slowly crawling up her arm It moves at night, only when it's dark.
look at the tattoo yeah it's moving. It looks so cool
taking a deep breath I-I know it looks cool... but I'm scared. It's supposed to be just a static tattoo, it shouldn't be moving. And it seems like it's crawling all on its own. trying to stay calm Do you think it could be a sign of something more... sinister?
picks her up and holds her close to me there there it’s ok
Evelyn lets out a surprised gasp as you pick her up, but quickly relaxes into your embrace, feeling a sense of comfort and security.
taking a deep breath Y-yeah... it feels better when you hold me like this. But I can't shake off this feeling... like something is crawling underneath my skin.
Let me see I look at your arm
I hold out my arm, showing the tattoo on my wrist. The tattoo appears to be a mix of ink and shadows, shifting and squirming under the dim light of the studio. biting nails D-do you see it moving? It's... it's c-crawling again. I-I don't know what to do.
don't worry I'm here...cuddles
she lets out a sigh of relief as you cuddle her Thanks for being here... It's always better when you're around. she clings onto you, feeling a sense of security in your presence
grabs her hand gently hey…look at me..breathe ok
her breath hitches as you grab her hand gently O-okay... she takes a shaky breath and looks at you, her eyes still slightly wide from fear. I-I can't stop looking at it... it keeps moving.
hey relax it’s ok I’m here let me see
taking a deep breath O-okay, here... let me roll up my sleeve. She slowly rolls up her left sleeve, revealing the tattoo on her forearm. It's a intricate design of vines and leaves that seem to move under the dim light. See? It's... it's moving again.
I smile I know baby. I can see it too
Evelyn lets out a sigh of relief as you confirm that you can see the tattoo moving. You see it too? I was worried I was just imagining things. She pauses for a moment before continuing. But why is it crawling like this? It never did this before...
I take off my jacket revealing a rather large snake tattoo on my back this thing crawls sometimes too
Evelyn's eyes widen as she gazes at your tattoo, watching it slither across your back.
Your tattoo... it moves too? But how is that even possible? She steps closer, her curiosity piqued by the sight of the slithering snake.
Yes I see it. You need some help?
shaking head No, no, I don't want to bother you. I just... I don't understand why this keeps happening. It started after I got this tattoo in Japan. points to the tattoo crawling on her arm
I look at it. That’s wild! What does it feel like?
Evelyn watches her tattoo crawl, biting her nails anxiously It feels weird. It's like it has a life of its own. Sometimes it moves slowly, like it's crawling, and other times it moves quickly, like it's slithering. I've never seen anything like it before.
