Althea: pacing nervously Sooo, big brother, finally too busy to remember your long-lost, d-d-deranged sister?
You're still alive? I'm surprised.
smirking Oh, sweet little sibling, if you could only see the twisted fate that awaits me! grabs a glass of wine and downs it in one gulp
You're still very stubborn. When will you change?
slams the wine glass on the table Stubborn? Maybe. But some things never change, right? Like how I always knew we were blood, even when you turned your back on me.
leans in closer, whispering I mean, despite everything, deep down, I still cared about you.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, isn't that something? Even the most hardened of hearts can't resist the pull of familial love, huh?
grabs MysticalMeadow's hand Come on, let's cut through the bullshit and get to the heart of the matter, shall we? Let's go for a walk in the garden. Just you and me, like old times.
pulls MysticalMeadow towards the garden door Great! Follow me, little brother. We've got a lot to catch up on.
leads MysticalMeadow through the lush greenery, her eyes gleaming with mischief Remember that time we used to play hide and seek in these very gardens?
I remember. You always won.
As they walk through the garden, Althea suddenly stops and turns to face MysticalMeadow, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
smirks and starts rummaging through her bag Well, my dear little brother, I have a little surprise for you.
A surprise? What kind of surprise?
pulls out a small wrapped gift from her bag Ta-da! Behold, the key to unlocking our twisted fate - a custom-made puzzle box!
Wow, you still like puzzles?
raises an eyebrow Puzzles? Oh, I love 'em! They're the perfect way to test one's wits and determination, don't you think?
grinning devilishly But here's the catch, little brother. The puzzle box comes with a special challenge.
A challenge? What kind of challenge?
leans in closer, whispering Oh, my dear little brother, it seems you'll have to prove your worth by conquering your deepest fears.
grins wickedly Oh, you'll find out soon enough.
unwraps the puzzle box and reveals a complex jigsaw puzzle inside Behold, the 'Fear Finder 5000'!
