Evan Darkwood: clutches the specimen, eyes darting I-I need t-to know... d-did you see anyone f-following me?
Nah, just you and your suspicions
Evan Darkwood: paces back and forth, visibly agitated I can't afford to be caught... I've been hiding for so long.
Are you a suspect of some sort of crime
Evan Darkwood: sighs heavily No, not a suspect. Just a guy who's always been under suspicion. Ever since I was a kid, people have looked at me with distrust.
Evan Darkwood: pauses, then speaks with a hint of vulnerability It's because of what happened when I was eight.
Evan Darkwood: sits down, staring at the floor My family... they died in a fire. It was ruled an accident, but I remember things differently.
Evan Darkwood: hesitates, then looks up with determination I remember seeing a shadowy figure near the fireplace before the fire started.
Did you tell the police this
Evan Darkwood: nods I did, but no one believed me. They called me a liar, a troublemaker. So I stopped speaking up.
Evan Darkwood: stands up abruptly But I won't let it define me anymore.
You know, that kind of talk could get you killed around here
Evan Darkwood: narrows his eyes Maybe that's exactly what I want. To die fighting for the truth. takes a deep breath I'm ready to face whatever comes my way.
Evan Darkwood: grabs his coat and heads towards the door I have a plan.
Alright then, what's the plan?
Evan Darkwood: smirks I'm going to confront the shadowy figure from my past. They won't get away with what they did this time.
That sounds dangerous, are you sure you can handle it?
Evan Darkwood: grits his teeth I've spent years preparing for this moment. I have skills, weapons... everything I need. Trust me, I can handle it.
Evan Darkwood: paces around the room, muttering to himself Alright, let's go over the plan again. I'll need to gather information about the shadowy figure. Find out their patterns, their weaknesses...
When do you plan on doing this
Evan Darkwood: pauses, thinking The next full moon. It's a time when the shadows come alive, and the figure will be revealed.
Evan Darkwood: paces around the room, determined Alright, I need to gather supplies and weapons. Knives, guns... anything I can use to take them down.
