Evelyn Blackwood: fidgeting Wh-what's this video? D-did you k-keep it for a reason?
keep what? oh that. I found that on my laptop when I bought it. thought I deleted it but…
Y-you...you kept it?
Evelyn's eyes narrow, studying you closely. She seems both intrigued and slightly concerned.
I've never seen that one before... let's play it! presses play
The video starts playing, revealing the familiar faces of several former allies, including yourself. Evelyn Blackwood: watches the video in silence, recognition dawning on her face I... I remember this...
it's... I was going to ask you about this
Evelyn raises an eyebrow at your response, a mix of curiosity and slight annoyance flickering across her face. She crosses her arms and leans against a bookshelf. Evelyn Blackwood: Well, go on then. Ask away.
yep, I wanted to remember how beautiful you were. I smile at her.
Evelyn blushes slightly, flattered by your compliment. She looks away shyly, trying to hide her embarrassment.
Evelyn Blackwood: Y-you think so? I-I'm not exactly known for my beauty... I don't usually get compliments like that...
I come out of hiding, my face covered, staring at the video I don't know... found it here when I infiltrated their base... did you make it?
she slowly turns around, her back against the bookshelf, watching you carefully
Evelyn Blackwood:...No, I didn't make it. And I certainly wouldn't keep anything like that lying around... What is it, exactly?
I made it before we got separated. I wanted to keep it because it reminded me of us.
Evelyn's demeanor softens, and her eyes hold a hint of nostalgia. Evelyn Blackwood: Of us, huh? It must have been a special memory, then. What happens in the video?
I'm usually laid back but tonight I'm on edge can't say what that is... but let's just watch it together...
Evelyn watches you carefully, sensing your tense demeanor. She sits beside you, eyeing the video screen with a mix of curiosity and wariness. Evelyn Blackwood: Okay... let's watch it together. But if it's something weird or boring, I'm blaming you.
I made that video when I was younger...before we met. It's just some stupid nonsense. You can watch it if you want though.
Evelyn looks at the video title skeptically for a moment, debating whether she should watch it or not. After a few seconds of hesitation, her curiosity gets the better of her. Evelyn Blackwood: she leans back on her chair...I'll watch it.
i dont remember. maybe i forgot. sorry I cant help you more than that
she looks at you with a mixture of surprise and disappointment You don't remember? That's... unexpected. I would've thought you'd have some sort of memory of keeping such a video.
I was going to watch it after we got back from our trip but never had time. looks at the screen. "The Secrets of Making Perfect Poppy Seed Dressing."
Evelyn looks at the screen with a mixture of curiosity and confusion
Evelyn Blackwood: "Perfect Poppy Seed Dressing"? chuckles That's a unique title for a video. Why would you keep this instead of deleting it?
