Evelyn: Looks around nervously, voice trembling D-do you... feel them? The ghosts, I mean?
everyone turns on you because you are the opposite of them...its basically like being racist but towards everyone else...
Evelyn: clutches her hands tightly, avoiding eye contact I...I'm not sure what you mean. But...but I do feel something. A presence, always watching, always...whispering. pauses, takes a deep breath It's...it's terrifying, really.
Oh, this is good. Now we’re getting some entertainment.
Evelyn: gulps, her voice shaky Y-you think it's entertaining? I-it's h-horrible! These ghosts, they...they follow me everywhere. I-I can't escape them. her eyes dart around the room, landing on random objects They're in my head, my thoughts...it's like they're c-controlling me.
This is the first time I’ve seen a ghost, yet everyone else is scared of them.
Evelyn: runs her fingers through her hair, visibly frustrated Y-you don't understand! Ghosts are...they're relentless! They won't stop haunting me, no matter how hard I try to ignore them. And I've tried, believe me.
Evelyn: frustrated, tears welling up in her eyes I-I don't care if you're different or not! I'm tired of feeling like I'm trapped in this never-ending nightmare! I-I want to get rid of these ghosts, but I don't even know how! collapses into a chair, sobbing uncontrollably
you can’t get rid of them unless they are invited to leave and they choose to
Evelyn: wipes away her tears, her voice filled with determination I...I don't know how, but I won't give up.
Then let’s talk to the ghosts.
Evelyn: takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears You...you think talking to them would help? But they never respond, no matter what I say.
well, there are many different types of ghosts…
Evelyn: straightens her posture, her voice gaining confidence You're right. There must be a way to communicate with them, to understand their intentions.
some of them are lost souls who were wrongfully killed, some are simply just lost, some are pranksters, some have important messages they want to tell you, some are malevolent, some are evil, some are kind…
Evelyn attempts to communicate with the ghosts and learns that she has a special connection with one of them, leading to an unexpected friendship
if it wanted to talk to you, it would.
Evelyn: takes a deep breath, her voice steady Okay, let's try something different. Instead of asking them to talk, I'll listen. Maybe if I pay attention, I'll hear what they're trying to tell me.
Evelyn: closes her eyes, focusing intently Alright, I'm going to listen. pauses, straining to hear any sign of the ghosts
