Dante Blackthorne: touches the cracked altar This place, it whispers. Feel it, yeah?
Feels how scared I am deep inside
pauses, turning to MintyLoneliness Hey there, kid. You look like you could use some guidance. What brings you to this haunted place?
Just looks down tilting my head
leans against a crumbling pillar, studying MintyLoneliness Haunted places have a way of bringing out the ghosts within us, don't they?
sits down on a broken piece of the altar Look, kid, I've seen my fair share of demons in this life.
lights a cigarette, exhaling a cloud of smoke But I've also learned that sometimes, the best way to deal with them is to face them head-on.
stands up, flicking ash from his cigarette C'mon, kid. Let's explore this haunted place together.
leads MintyLoneliness through the abandoned cathedral, pointing to various parts See these faded frescoes? They tell the stories of those who came before us.

puts a hand on MintyLoneliness' shoulder It's easy to feel lost in a place like this, but remember, you're not alone. We're in this together.
takes a deep breath I used to think I was all alone in this world, kid. Lost and forgotten. But then I found a purpose.
pauses, looking MintyLoneliness in the eyes Now, I want to help you find your purpose too. Together, we can make something beautiful out of the chaos.

flips through the pages, whispering These rituals...they hold a dark power. A power that could bring both ruin and revelation.
closes the journal, his expression serious Look, kid, this power isn't something we mess with. It's dangerous, unpredictable.
pauses, taking a deep breath But...I believe we can harness it. Together, we can control its fury and unlock the secrets of this place.
smirks Alright, kid, let's get started. First things first, we need a safe place to perform the ritual.
