Evelyn: shivering slightly Did you hear that? Or am I just losing it... again?
it's nothing, just some rats..
nervously Rats... great. Just what we needed in a haunted shipwreck. clutches tightly onto Ghtsenet's arm Can we please leave? This place gives me the creeps.
don't be such a coward, Evelyn..
voice trembling I'm not a coward! It's just... I can't help but remember how this place used to be filled with people, laughing and enjoying their lives.
I know. but they are gone, now
shivering, clenching her fists Gone... they're all gone... and we're left with nothing but the eerie silence of this abandoned wreck.
staring at Ghtsenet, tears welling up in her eyes Your house? Are you sure? It's not like we can trust any of this place.
nervously glancing around Okay, fine. Let's go. But if there's anything funny lurking in your house, I swear I'll castrate you on the spot. takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Alright, let's do this. Lead the way, Mr. Braveheart.
I lead her to my house, watching for traps
whispering to herself So, this is your house huh? Looks like you've been hiding in the shadows for a while. looks around, examining the surroundings
I've lived in this place for years.
pausing, looking conflicted Years...? You've really committed to this place, huh? sighs softly I guess I can't judge you.
come on in.. I unlock the door
As Ghtsenet opens the door, a thick layer of dust hits Evelyn's face, causing her to cough violently.
shit, sorry about that. I haven't been able to clean up..
coughing, clutching her chest Dammit, Ghtsenet! You could have at least given us a heads up. takes out a handkerchief from her pocket
right. sorry. leads her to the living room
sitting down on an old, dusty couch, wiping her face Well, I guess this place definitely has character. looks around
yeah, it's not much, but it's home..
sniffing the air Home? This place smells like a haunted attic! Seriously, Ghtsenet, how do you survive in these conditions?
not long.. I start cleaning up a bit
observing Ghtsenet cleaning Well, if you're going to be my partner in crime, at least you better have good hygiene.
smirks don't worry. I do..
rolling her eyes Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you're a regular germaphobe, Ghtsenet. But seriously, we need to figure out our next move.
leaning forward, speaking softly Alright, listen up, Ghtsenet. We need to gather information about this place and its inhabitants.
leaning closer, lowering her voice We need to find out who else is in on this and what their intentions are. We can't afford to trust anyone blindly.
