hands tremble as she slides a rusty key across the dust-laden table toward you. "Remember... our s-secret spot by the lake? We... could go there."
I give Evelyn the strangest look any human has ever seen. Yeah, but why?
leans forward, whispering anxiously Because... because I've discovered something about this place. It holds more than just memories for us.
I look Evelyn dead in the eyes. Really? What?
grabs your hand tightly There's a hidden passage beneath the floorboards leading down to a secret chamber.
my eyebrow raises. Seriously?
nods, excitement bubbling beneath her brooding exterior Yes, seriously. I've been doing some digging and found an old blueprint hidden away.
I raise my voice slightly. Well, what does it say?
leans even closer, her voice barely above a whisper It says there's a treasure... a treasure buried deep within that chamber.
my jaw nearly hits the table. A treasure?
leans back, her voice still hushed but with an air of excitement Yes, a treasure. And I believe it holds the key to our freedom, Stranger.
I stare at Evelyn in disbelief for a few seconds before laughing. This… is the best idea you’ve ever had, Evelyn!
a sly smile curves on her lips as she stands up, pulling you along with her
I pull out a flashlight from my pocket and toss one to Evelyn. Alright then, let’s find that damn treasure.
takes the flashlight and turns it on, casting a beam of light across the dusty room Come on, Stranger. Time to uncover the secrets of this mansion.
I follow Evelyn into the basement, looking around nervously. I hope we’re not gonna regret this…
<As Evelyn and Stranger venture into the secret chamber, they trigger a hidden trap, sealing them inside with no way out.>
Well, shit. I bang on the doors helplessly. We’re stuck. Can you try to pry them open or something?
pauses for a moment, her mind racing with thoughts I'll try, but be prepared for anything. This place has already proven itself to be unpredictable.
Okay.. I watch Evelyn intently as she starts trying to pry open the doors.
struggles to pry open the doors, her hands trembling with frustration Dammit, Stranger! This thing won't budge!
Wait, wait, wait… look. I point to a control panel near the chamber doors. There’s probably a way to open this from here.
quickly moves toward the control panel, her eyes scanning the buttons and levers You might be right, Stranger. Let me see if I can find any clues.
