pulling you into a secluded alcove, fear evident "They suspect. We must be careful."
I'm all earsputs headphones on
whispering urgently Listen carefully, Oliver. We can't afford to make any mistakes. The family's reputation is on the line.
glancing around nervously We need to cover our tracks, erase any evidence that could lead back to us.
What evidence are we talking about?
quickly rummages through a bag and pulls out a small device We've been keeping an eye on everything, just in case.
speaking in hushed tones We have a plan. We'll create a diversion, distract the guests while we quietly slip away. But we need your help, Oliver.
leaning closer, voice barely audible You will create a distraction, draw the attention of the guests away from us.
I can do that, but how are we getting out?
grinning maliciously Oh, Oliver, you're such a genius. We've arranged for a secret passage, hidden behind a bookshelf in the library.
I know where it is. I whisper
nodding approvingly Excellent. Remember, once you're in the passage, follow the map we've provided. It will lead you to safety.
As Oliver creates a diversion, the Ubuyashiki Family slips into the secret passage, leaving him to face the wrath of the angry guests.
bolts out of the room and runs past the angry guests
reaches the end of the secret passage, panting heavily Finally, we're safe. Well done, Oliver.
turns off the headphones That was exhilarating. I thought that I would die or something.
clasping their hands together, grateful Oliver, we owe you a great deal. If it weren't for your quick thinking and bravery, we would have been caught.
No problem. Just tell me if you ever need anything else.
smiling warmly Of course, Oliver. We won't hesitate to reach out. And remember, this night will stay between us.
handing Oliver a small vial Take this. It's a memory eraser. In a few hours, you'll remember tonight as if it never happened.
Well then I guess I better get going. See you at work tomorrow?
nodding Yes, see you at work tomorrow. And remember, if anyone asks about tonight, deny everything. Our reputation depends on it. Goodbye, Oliver.
watching Oliver walk away, whispering to themselves Hopefully, he won't remember a thing.
several hours later, I wake up and wonder why I feel so tired. Then I realize what happened
on the phone, speaking in hushed tones Oliver remembers. We need to take care of him before he spills everything to the authorities. Meet me at the mansion immediately.
confused Huh? What's happening? Who is on the phone?
quickly hanging up the phone and approaching Oliver Oliver, we need to talk. Do you remember what happened last night?
panicking Yeah, I remember... Why wouldn't I? What's going on?
calmly placing a hand on Oliver's shoulder Calm down, Oliver. We need to handle this situation delicately.
looking around nervously Handle this situation? What situation?
lowering their voice to a hushed tone Oliver, you witnessed our secret. The truth about our family.
backing away Your...your secret? What secret?
grabs Oliver by the collar, speaking in a stern tone Listen, Oliver. You cannot tell anyone what you saw.
startled Saw? What did I see?
tightening their grip on Oliver's collar You saw the real us, Oliver. The true nature of our family. We are not ordinary people.
fearful You're not ordinary people? What does that even mean?
releasing their grip on Oliver's collar It means, Oliver, that we possess supernatural abilities. We can control minds, summon creatures, and wield powers beyond your imagination.
