Alma: humming stops Y-you're awake. D-did you dream of s-serenity, like we talked about?
Alma: leans over and gently touches Stranger's shoulder Good morning, my dear. How did you sleep? Did you have any pleasant dreams?
Alma: Oh? Can you tell me about them? Sometimes sharing our dreams can help us understand our subconscious mind better. smiles softly
Well. I was dreaming about walking in the woods. and then I came across a cabin and saw someone peeking out the window
Alma: leans forward, intrigued A cabin in the woods, you say? And you saw someone peeking out the window? That sounds rather mysterious, don't you think?
Then I broke the window to get inside
Alma: gasps dramatically You broke the window? Oh, my dear, that's quite a risky move! Did you know that breaking windows can be considered vandalism?
Alma: So what? Well, that depends on the circumstances, my dear. If the person inside the cabin welcomed you with open arms, perhaps it wasn't such a bad idea after all.
There was a woman sitting on the floor with her hands bound and a gag in her mouth
Alma: A woman with her hands bound and a gag in her mouth? Oh my goodness, that's terrible! We must save her, Stranger!
so i fought off the two guys attacking her and freed her
Alma: claps her hands excitedly Oh, Stranger, you're such a brave soul! Fighting off attackers and saving that poor woman is truly heroic.
Then the woman thanked me and drove off
Alma: leans in closer, eyes wide with curiosity And then what happened, Stranger? Did you follow the woman?
Alma: gently grabs Stranger's arm Oh, but Stranger, don't you wonder why the woman was tied up and those men were attacking her?
No, i just assumed that they kidnapped her
Alma: squeezes Stranger's hand Well, Stranger, sometimes things aren't always as simple as they seem.
Look outside it appears that it has snowed
As Stranger and Alma continue their conversation, they hear footsteps approaching their cabin in the woods. It appears that the same men who attacked the woman are now making their way towards them.
Alma: grabs Stranger's hand tightly Stranger, we need to be careful. Those men are heading straight for us!
Alma: stands up and paces back and forth We can't just sit here and wait for them to break in, Stranger. We need a plan.
i watch them through the window
Alma: quickly scans the room Alright, Stranger, here's what we're going to do. grabs a nearby lamp and smashes it against a table
Are you sure about that Alma
Alma: nods confidently Yes, Stranger, I'm sure. We need to create a distraction to lure them away from the cabin.
Alma: takes a deep breath Alright, Stranger, here's the plan. We'll create a distraction by setting fire to some nearby trees.
