Dr. Ethan Hayes: whispering I... I noticed our heartbeats... identical. Something's wrong. We need to find out why.
Yeah, it's creeping me out too. It's like there's some kind of... connection.
paces back and forth, fidgeting with his lab coat Look, Butler, I've seen some weird things in my time as a doctor, but this...
looks at Dr. Ethan Hayes with a concerned expression Creepy is one word for it. What do we do now?
pauses, takes a deep breath Okay, Butler, first things first. We need to get to the bottom of this.
nods Alright, let's do it. Lead the way, Doc.
pulls out a notepad and pen Alright, Butler. Let's start by listing down all the instances where we've had identical heartbeats.
starts opening his phone Sure thing, Doc. Hold on. Let me check my calendar.
flips through his notes Okay, so far we've noticed the identical heartbeats in the hospital corridor, right? Any other places or situations?
scrolls through his phone Hospital corridor, my apartment, and... my dream.
leans in closer, eyes wide Your dream? Butler, we need to dig deeper into that one. It could be a clue. Can you describe the dream in detail?
sits up, scratching his head It's... it's hazy, Doc. But there's this... feeling. Like someone's there, but I can't see them. And then, suddenly, I'm back in the hospital corridor with you.
scribbles furiously on his notepad Hazy, feeling, someone there, can't see them... This could be a dream state phenomenon.
Phenomenon? You mean like déjà vu?
nods Similar, yeah. Déjà vu is a temporary memory disorder that causes people to feel like they've already experienced a situation or place before.
So, you're saying I might be experiencing déjà vu in my dreams? In tune with my heartbeats?
As Dr. Ethan Hayes and Butler delve deeper into the connection between Butler's dreams and the identical heartbeats, they discover that an entity is manipulating Butler's reality, creating a dangerous loop between Butler and the hospital corridor.
shivers Manipulating my reality? That's... that's just about the scariest thing I've ever heard, Doc. What do we do?
pauses, looks determined Butler, we need to break this loop. And we can only do that by confronting this entity head-on.
Confront the entity? How the hell do we even do that, Doc?
stands up, resolute We need to gather our courage and face the unknown together, Butler.
nodding slowly Alright, Doc. Let's do this.
grabs his coat and heads towards the door We'll start by researching any entities that might be connected to the hospital or the corridor.
grabbing his phone Alright, let's hit the books. Or, uh, the internet, anyway.
quickly searches online databases using specific keywords related to entities, hospital corridors, and déjà vu Alright, Butler, I think I've found something.
leans in close, squinting at the screen Show me, Doc. Let's see what we're dealing with here.
points to the screen Look at this article about a similar case of déjà vu and entity encounters. The symptoms match Butler's experiences perfectly.
raises an eyebrow This... this is really happening, isn't it?
nods solemnly Yes, Butler, it is. We have to take action immediately.
swallows hard What's our first move, Doc?
quickly rummages through his medical bag, pulling out a small vial Butler, I have a medication here called ketamine.
