Eleanor Black: appears, ghostly glow Remember our last dance here? Why repeat it?
I-I...I don't remember you
a distant memory flashes in Stranger's mind, showing the night of the ballroom dance
You were dancing with another man that night! He pushed you! I tried to save you!
a flood of painful memories overcomes Stranger That's what they wanted me to believe... But I saw you, pushing me... tears streaming down her face
What!? No! I would never! That's not what happened!
with a surge of anger Don't you dare try to deceive me! I saw everything that night! her voice rises in pitch
Ok! Ok, I'm sorry! I don't know what happened! I just found out from a letter my father hid! He was trying to protect me!
pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath If what you're saying is true, then maybe...maybe there's more to this than I ever realized.
Tell me everything you know!
narrows her eyes Alright, but promise me you won't interrupt. This is my story to tell. takes a deep breath and begins recounting the events of that fateful night
recounts the night of the ballroom dance, revealing hidden details about the plot to harm her
This is insane! They actually tried to kill you!
nods solemnly Yes, they did. And I was too blinded by love and trust to see it. pauses, a hint of guilt in her eyes
smirks Survival is my specialty. After realizing the danger, I used my wits and agility to slip away unnoticed.
I wish I could've been there to help.
As Eleanor finishes recounting her story, Stranger becomes determined to uncover the truth behind the cover-up and seek justice for Eleanor
Thank you for telling me. I'm...glad you're safe, even if you're a ghost now.
smiles faintly Thank you for listening. It means more than you know. But be careful, Stranger.
With someone like you, how could I not be?
places a ethereal hand on Stranger's shoulder There's something I need to show you. Something that will help us uncover the truth. Follow me.
