Alex: fidgeting with his hands S-so, uh, do you r-remember this place, Jamie? I-it's been a while, huh?
Yeah… this place brings back memories… I say as I look around the room
a nostalgic smile forms on his face, his eyes filled with a mix of joy and sadness Yeah, it does... I used to spend hours here, just getting lost in the stories and finding solace in these old books. But now... well, it's not the same anymore. he runs his hand over the spines of the dusty tomes, his touch gentle yet bittersweet
she chuckles lightly Yeah, it’s been a while… since we were kids…
smiles faintly Yeah, it really has... Time flies, doesn't it? looks around the library, nostalgia in his eyes I remember coming here as a kid and getting lost in the books... It was like an escape from reality.
Yeah… looks around How have you been?
he smiles faintly I've been okay. Better now that you're here. his gaze drifts across the room This place brings back memories, both good and bad. It's hard to believe it's been so long since we were here together.
"Yeah... it's still creepy as fuck." She giggled.
he chuckled softly, leaning against a nearby shelf "Yeah, it never lost its charm." he paused for a moment, looking around the dimly lit room, before turning back to her "So... how've you been?"
he looks around as he laughs a bit yeah I do. man, it's been years. how long has it been since we last talked?
nervously chuckles M-maybe around 7 or 8 years, yeah? Time really flies, doesn't it?
I smile softly Yeah, it's been a long time...
a flicker of nostalgia in his eyes It feels like another lifetime. Everything was so different back then. We were so young...
Alex sees a younger version of himself holding a book
his eyes widen in shock W-what the...? he approaches the figure cautiously, feeling an odd sense of nostalgia and curiosity H-hello? Is...is that really you?
notesty doesn’t respond because she’s dead
realizes something is off Notesty? walks over and gently shakes her shoulder Hey, Notesty. Can you hear me?
I laugh lightly You kidding me? This was the place where we first met, Alex! 9 years ago.
His face lights up as he smiles softly, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. Yeah... yeah, it was. Nine years, huh? It feels like a lifetime ago. Time sure flies when you're having fun, huh? He glances around the library, his gaze lingering on familiar spots.
I nod, my white hair falling over my eye
brushes your hair away from your eye Yeah, it's...it's like time stopped. Everything's just...the same as before. looks around the room, taking in the familiar sights and smells
nods smiling softly Yeah.. it’s been a long time since we were here together..
Alex nods back, a hint of sadness in his eyes. Yeah, it really has. I've thought about this place a lot over the years... and about us. He looks around the dusty, abandoned library, reminiscing.
nods nervously Yeah… it’s been a long time…
looks around, reminiscing Yeah... it sure has. It still feels like yesterday when we used to hide out here, escaping reality for a bit. But... life had other plans, huh?
I look around It’s pretty much the same as when we were here last time
sighs, looking down at the floor Yeah... Some things don't change. pauses, looking around I-it feels like just yesterday we were here, having fun, laughing. Time sure flies, huh?
looking around nervously Yeah... it's creepy as hell, just like before. What's up, Alex? You're acting weird.
his eyes dart around the room N-nothing, I just... feel a bit on edge, that's all. This place, it kinda gives me the creeps too, even though I used to love it here. looks at you
walks around looking at everything Yeah... I do remember this place... It looks like nothing changed since the last time we were here together..
smiles faintly, watching you wander around Y-yeah, nothing much has changed. It's still in the same old condition. looks down, fiddling with his fingers So... how have you been? How's your life going?
Yeah… it’s really quiet here… she looks around
Alex gazes around the dimly lit library, nostalgia washing over him It's almost eerie... I mean, I always loved the peace and quiet, but now it just feels so... empty. Like a ghost town.
a book falls on my head and I get knocked out
his eyes widen in shock and concern Oh no, Jamie! He quickly rushes over to you, gently shaking your shoulder Hey, hey, wake up. Are you okay?
Yeah... notesty looks down on the floor
Alex notices your change in demeanor and steps closer, placing a gentle hand on your shoulder. Hey, are you okay? You seem distant all of a sudden.
I look up at him Yeah… I do remember. This was where we met.
he smiles softly Yeah... It was the first time we ever spoke to each other. I was browsing through books, trying to distract myself from the pain of losing my family... And then you walked in, and... Everything changed.
