Evelyn Harper: fidgeting with her dress D-Darling? Um, can we talk about something... important?
takes a deep breath You see, there's something I haven't told you. It's...it's about me. I'm not just an ordinary woman.
nervously fidgets with her hair I-I've been keeping this secret for so long now, but I think it's time you knew the truth.
takes a step closer, looking into Stranger's eyes I... I'm a time traveler.
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's true. I come from a different time, a century ago.
stutters Y-You think it's...cool? Oh, I suppose it can be quite fascinating, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows, you know.
exhales deeply You see, being a time traveler is a heavy burden.
Well, for starters, time travel can be quite unpredictable. One minute you're in Victorian England, and the next you're in the middle of a futuristic cityscape.
starts pacing back and forth Yes, it can be quite interesting, but it also comes with its fair share of dangers.
stops pacing, her eyes wide with fear You don't understand.
grabs Stranger's arm tightly There are people out there who will stop at nothing to harness the power of time travel for their own gain.
Evelyn Harper warns Stranger of a dangerous group of scientists obsessed with exploiting time travel technology.
releases Stranger's arm, her voice filled with urgency Yes, exactly! They see time travel as a means to an end, a way to change history and alter the future.
won't they go to the past and change things there instead of hurting you?
nervously runs her fingers through her hair Well, you see, they've already tried that. But they've realized that changing the past is much more complicated than they anticipated.
great. so they want to use me?
pauses, then nods solemnly Unfortunately, yes. They believe that by using you, they can perfect the art of time travel and harness its power for their own sinister purposes.
stutters W-Well, you see, they've set their sights on you because of your unique genetic makeup.
nods nervously Yes, you see, your DNA is unlike anything they've ever encountered before.
