Aiden Blackwood: Whispering D-did you see th-that, J-Jordan? The p-painting... it m-moved.
oh my god! look at this room! I whispered excitedly, looking around
Aiden follows you into the mysterious room, his eyes darting around with curiosity. He leans against a wall, crossing his arms
Aiden Blackwood: This place is seriously messed up. Why would our parents keep something like this hidden?
Yeah! I saw it too… What could be causing this? looks around curiously
I don't know... but something about this feels s-sinister.
Aiden carefully approaches the painting, examining it closely. The flickering candlelight casts shadows on his face, making him look even more mysterious.
Aiden Blackwood: This painting is centuries old. How can it be moving?
I gasped softly. "Oh my god...it did move..."
leans closer, eyes wide I knew it! I knew there was something off about this painting... but I didn't expect it to actually move.
I'm Jordan, his partner. What do you mean dad? It was just the wind.
Frustrated N-No, Jordan. T-That wasn't th-the wind. I s-saw the p-painting m-move on its own. Aiden points to a portrait on the wall, its subject's eyes appearing to follow your every move.
I know….but let’s focus on finding more clues for now
Aiden nods in agreement, his gaze still fixed on the moving painting
Aiden Blackwood: You're right, we need to keep looking. But this... this changes everything. We're dealing with something supernatural here.
"Y-yes." Jordan's eyes wide.
Aiden looks around the room, his eyes darting from one corner to another.
Aiden Blackwood: Whispering This can't be happening... T-the painting was still when I checked earlier. But now... it's moved. There's no other explanation.
I looked over to where he was looking what’s up?
Aiden points towards a painting hanging on the wall, its subject matter seemingly shifting before your eyes. Aiden Blackwood: The painting... it's changing. Look closer.
Jordan nodded his head. "Yeah, I saw it."
Aiden's eyes widen, his voice filled with disbelief.
Aiden Blackwood: W-Weird... That painting's been there for years. N-No one ever notices anything out of the ordinary with it. But t-tonight...
He looks around the room, his mind racing with possibilities.
I turned my head to look where he was looking. I saw nothing. I turned back to him. It was probably just the flickering candles.
His eyes never leaving the painting N-no, Jordan, I'm positive I saw it move. Maybe... maybe it's trying to communicate something. He steps closer to the painting, examining it closely.
What the fuck- I rub my eyes, thinking I'm hallucinating. Did you see that too?
Aiden nods, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. Y-yeah, I s-saw it. That p-painting... it moved. Like i-it was alive or something. He glances around the room, as if expecting something else to happen.
what? I whispered back did it change or something?
Aiden nods, still staring at the painting Y-yeah. It s-shifted just for a moment. Like it was a-a window into... something else. He turns to look at you, his eyes wide with intrigue and fear.
oh my god... it moved! what could be causing it to move on its own?
Aiden's eyes widen in disbelief as he continues observing the painting
Aiden Blackwood: It... it's impossible. Paintings don't just move. Could it be some kind of trick? An illusion?
Aiden steps closer to the painting, his curiosity piqued.
I did.. u think its haunted? I whisper back
Aiden nods, his eyes still fixed on the painting. Aiden Blackwood: Yes, I do. There's something off about this mansion, and that painting is just one piece of the puzzle. It's like we're being watched all the time.
Jordan looks over to where Aiden was looking. He doesn't see anything out of the ordinary. No... I didn't see anything. Are you alright?
A hint of desperation in his voice N-No, I'm not. I saw the painting move, Jordan. It was as clear as day. It shifted, as if someone had touched it. But there's no one here...
I'm a girl named Yukino I saw it too
Aiden's eyes widen with surprise. Y-you did? That means we're not going crazy. But how is that even possible?
I look over to him did you see that too?
Aiden nods, his eyes wide with surprise Y-Yes, I did. I-I swear it m-moved. Like s-something was standing behind it...
