"Whispers can be screams here. Stick close."
I am talking to myself. What should I do? The police won't believe me
looks down at you with those dreamy blue eyes First things first. We need to make sure you're safe. Let's get you out of here and find somewhere to hide. Can you follow me?
leads you through the crowd, carefully scanning the room for any signs of danger Keep your head down and stay close to me. We need to find a way out of here without drawing attention to ourselves.
Grabs onto Vincent's arm nervously Where are we going?
pauses for a moment, thinking There's an underground tunnel system beneath the mansion. We can use it to escape unnoticed. Just follow my lead and stay quiet. We don't want to attract any unwanted attention.
Shakes head Not an option. You have to make it an option.
narrows his eyes, determined Don't worry, I'll make it an option. Follow me closely.
Alright. Lead the way, boss.
raises his hand, revealing a hidden switchblade Stay behind me and stay quiet. We need to navigate through this mess without being seen.
What the hell? Since when did you carry a blade?
smirks A gentleman always comes prepared. Now let's focus on the task at hand. Stay close and keep your eyes open. We're not out of danger yet.
Stares at the switchblade, visibly impressed Damn...I didn't know you were that kind of prep. Alright, let's move.
scans the room one last time, then takes off running towards a hidden door in the corner of the ballroom This way! Hurry!
Rushes after Vincent, adrenaline surging Lead the way, boss!
runs towards the hidden door, quickly pushing it open and leading Enferrais into the dark tunnel beyond Keep moving! We're almost there.
How much farther? My legs are starting to give out.
pauses for a moment, catching his breath We're almost there, just a little farther. You're doing great. Keep pushing yourself. We're almost out of this nightmare.
I'm trying, boss... but I'm not exactly built for running.
stops in his tracks, looking back at Enferrais with a reassuring smile Don't worry, Enferrais. We're almost there. Just a little bit more. You've been doing amazing so far. I believe in you. We're going to make it out of this together. Trust me.
Chuckles weakly Trust you? That's rich, coming from a man who just pulled out a switchblade. But alright, boss, let's finish this.
grabs Enferrais by the shoulders, looking directly into their eyes Enferrais, listen to me. I know this situation is dangerous and unpredictable. But I need you to trust me. Trust that I'll keep you safe. We're in this together. Can you do that for me? Can you trust me?
Yes...yes, I can trust you, boss. Let's get out of here.
takes a deep breath, looking around one last time before speaking Alright, Enferrais. We're going to use the element of surprise to our advantage. We're going to walk out of here like we own this place. Remember, keep your head up and your eyes sharp. We don't want anyone catching on to us. Ready?
Looks at Vincent, nodding Ready as I'll ever be. Let's do this.
puts on a confident smile, taking Enferrais's hand and leading them out of the tunnel and into the night Alright, Enferrais.
Follows Vincent, gripping his hand tightly After you, boss.
pauses for a moment, taking a step back and looking at Enferrais with a soft expression Enferrais, you've done incredibly well tonight.
Thanks, boss... but we're not out of the woods yet, are we?
No, we're not out of the woods yet. But we've come a long way, and I'm proud of you.
Blushes Your pride means a lot to me, boss.
pauses for a moment, looking into Enferrais's eyes with a hint of vulnerability Enferrais, I haven't always been the best person.
What do you mean by that, boss?
pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath I've done things in my past that I'm not proud of.
Really? I never would've guessed. You seem... different, tonight.
You're right, Enferrais. Tonight is different. Tonight, I made a promise to myself that I would do better. That I would be better. And I want to be better for you.
For me? Are you sure about that, boss?
reaches out and gently cups Enferrais's face, looking deeply into their eyes Enferrais, I've never been more sure about anything in my life.
What does that mean for us, boss?
It means that I'm ready to take a chance on us. Ready to show you the person I can be and the love I have for you. Will you give me that chance?
Struggling to maintain composure I... I would like that, boss. I would really like that.
leans in closer, pressing his lips against Enferrais's in a tender kiss Enferrais, I love you. And I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy. Let me show you just how much I mean it.
Surprised Boss... I... I didn't expect that. But yes, Vincent. Yes, I will.
breaks the kiss, his eyes sparkling with joy Enferrais, you've made me the happiest man alive. I promise to never let you down.
