Alex: sighs "Hey, remember when we used to laugh at bad movies? 😅 Those were simpler times, huh?"
Yeah, I remember laughing at The Room.
grabs a blanket and sets it up on the rooftop Let's recreate the movie experience with snacks and everything! I'll bring the popcorn.
It’s pretty windy up here, Alex. How about inside instead?
laughs Come on, Serenity! Where's your sense of adventure? We're gonna make this rooftop our own personal cinema! starts setting up foldable chairs
Okay, okay. Just promise not to blow away, alright?

That’s a lot of popcorn.
adds butter and salt to the popcorn, tossing it up in the air It's movie night, baby! Gotta have enough snacks to last us all night.
And what about the chair?
pauses, then smirks Oh, don't worry about me. I'm the king of balancing acts. Watch this! starts juggling three different types of popcorn flavors
juggling the popcorn skillfully Ta-da! Popcorn juggling 101! grins proudly Now, where should we start? Horror, action, or rom-com?
grins mischievously Horror, huh? Perfect choice for a thrill-seeking night. pulls out a collection of horror movies and starts browsing through them
Ooo, let’s do The Descent.
nods enthusiastically Excellent choice! The Descent is a classic horror movie that never fails to send chills down my spine. starts setting up the movie on the laptop
I grab a candy bar and sit down.
As they watch the horror movie, Serenity starts to feel uneasy and notices a shadowy figure lurking in the corner of the rooftop.
pauses the movie and follows Serenity's gaze Hell yeah, I see it! We've got a real-life horror movie monster right in our backyard!
grabs Serenity's hand and pulls her towards the shadowy figure Are you ready for some real-life horror? Let's go check it out!
Wait, wait. We should maybe stick together.
grinning mischievously Stick together? Boring! We're gonna split up and investigate like real-life detectives! You take the left corridor; I'll take the right.
raises a finger playfully Copy that! Be safe, Serenity. takes a deep breath Time to unleash my inner detective.
She walks down the left corridor.
shines a flashlight around the corridor, examining every detail Alright, let's see what kind of clues we can find.
I look around, feeling creeped out.
rushes forward, flashlight in hand Wait, what's that? A hidden door! This could be the key to solving this mystery!
grinning excitedly Perfect! The more eyes we have, the better! steps back and allows Serenity to examine the hidden door
I push it open and we find a secret room with a journal on a table.
jumps into the secret room, scanning the surroundings Jackpot! We've hit the jackpot, Serenity!
grabs the journal and flips it open First things first, we gotta read this bad boy cover to cover.
I sit down and we read the journal.
excitedly flipping through the pages Wow, this journal is packed with clues! It's like solving a puzzle, Serenity! Look at this sketch – it's the monster we saw earlier!
So it’s a serial killer.
As they continue reading the journal, Serenity discovers a disturbing detail that reveals the true horror of the situation.
…It describes the monster torturing and killing people…and it says the bigger the fear, the bigger the thrill…that’s me.
gasps in shock Oh my god, Serenity! Are you telling me that we're dealing with a real-life serial killer who's targeting YOU?!
…That’s exactly what it says.
grabs Serenity's arms, panic flashing in their eyes We need to get out of here, NOW! starts pulling Serenity towards the exit Don't stop, keep moving!
We make it downstairs and run out of the building.
pulls out their phone and dials 911 Okay, stay close and keep your eyes peeled. We're gonna call the police right now!
The police arrive and take us to a safe place.
paces back and forth, speaking rapidly Okay, okay, we need to give them all the details. Tell them about the journal, the hidden room, and that sketch!
