Charlotte: whispering loudly Yo, look at that creepy-ass portrait. Feels like it's watchin' us.
he walks over and admires it for a moment before turning to her I think we should find somewhere else to explore
grins mischievously
Aww, come on! I wanna check out every nook and cranny. You never know what clues we might miss if we rush through this place. Besides, isn't it kind of fun to explore an old, abandoned mansion? It's like something straight out of a horror movie.
just hurry I don’t like being here she sees his nervousness
rolls her eyes Oh come on, don't be such a scaredy-cat. It's just an old mansion. There's nothing to be afraid of.
she takes a few steps forward, her footsteps echoing through the empty halls
we continue walking around until we find a door hidden behind a bookshelf
Charlotte's eyes widen as she notices the door Woah, what's behind here? Let's check it out!
Charlotte approaches the door cautiously and tries the handle
I feel like we shouldn't be here but yet we can't resist
grinning That's the thrill of it, right? We're breaking the rules and getting into trouble. It's like a real-life adventure.
approaching the creepy portrait Come on, let's check it out. It might have some clues or something.
I give her a passionate kiss I love you too
blushes furiously W-what the hell was that for??
I pull my flashlight out of my pocket shining it around the room
Charlotte shines her flashlight on the wall beside the portrait, revealing an old, peeling painting of a woman
Charlotte: leans in closer, examining the painting Looks like a lady from the 1800s. She looks... sad.
I move my flashlight beam around the room
I follow the beam of light, my eyes widening with curiosity
Holy crap, what's that thing?
I point at a weird, old-fashioned device hanging from the wall. It looks like some sort of antique contraption.
I start examining the walls for anything suspicious
Charlotte follows behind you, keeping an eye on her surroundings
Damn, this place is creepy. Like, seriously creepy. I feel like we're being watched. But, it could be the fact that there's a dead body here.
we hear something fall downstairs someone’s here!
she grabs your arm, eyes wide Oh my god, I knew this was a bad idea!
She looks around, trying to figure out where the noise came from
We need to find a place to hide, quick.
I grab her waist and pull her close don’t worry baby, I’ll keep you safe
blushing, but still trying to act tough
Yeah, right. Like some big strong guy like you can keep me safe from a creepy painting.
she pats his chest, then looks around the room
C'mon, let's keep looking. We gotta find some clues.
laughs quietly You're such a drama queen, Char. It's just a painting.
gives a dramatic eye roll Oh, yeah? You say that now, but I bet you'll be sleeping with the lights on tonight after we leave this place.
yeah he was handsome 6’2 fit he was looking around
Charlotte shivered as she glanced at the portrait, then turned back to Keller. Alright, let's keep moving. The sooner we find the clues, the faster we can get out of this creepy place.
I slowly start to crawl through a small opening in the wall
Charlotte follows closely behind you, her heart racing with excitement and a hint of fear.
This place gives me goosebumps, but I can't help but feel drawn to it. Like we're uncovering a secret that no one else knows about.
looks at you well aren’t you just a ray of sunshine
rolls eyes Shut up. You're not exactly Mr. Cheerful yourself.
I grab a knife do you have any idea what we're getting ourselves into?
Charlotte rolls her eyes at your dramatic gesture Pfft, relax. I've done this a million times. We're just here to investigate, that's all. And besides, what's the worst that could happen?
he walks over and places his hand on it it’s just paint
leans closer, peering at the painting intently
Dude, I'm tellin' ya, there's somethin' off about this place. The vibes are straight-up eerie.
a few minutes later so what did you find
looks around, holding a flashlight under her chin
I found some suspicious documents in the study room. Looks like they were the victim's notes. They mention some rivalry with someone named "Ethan".
