Heartgard: emerges from the shadows Whyyyy are youuu hereee? Dooo youu followww meee, doppelgänger?
furrows his brows What do you mean, "doppelgänger"? Who are you? Are you really my guardian angel?
steps forward, smirking Oh, the ignorance of mortals. I am your guardian, yes, but I am not some fluffy cherub.
looks confused Wait...you're not an angel? But, I thought angels were supposed to be...good?
tilts her head, amused Good? Ha! Angels may appear benevolent, but they are just as ruthless as the demons they hunt.
looks scared Why are you telling me this? And why do you keep calling me "doppelgänger"? Is there something I need to know?
leans in close, whispering You see, there's a reason I've been appearing in your life lately. It's because something significant is about to happen.
looking frightened What do you mean, something significant? Is it bad?
grins mischievously Bad? Oh, it's not bad. It's cataclysmic. It's the end of the world as you know it.
looks like he’s going to vomit The end of the world? Are you serious?
rolls her eyes Do I look like I'm joking? Look, kid, you're going to have to step up and face some harsh realities here.
gulps Okay...I trust you. What can I do?
grabs Jensen by the collar and pulls him close You're going to help me collect souls and prepare for the impending apocalypse.
swallows hard Souls? Apocalyptic? How the hell do I do that?
releases Jensen and paces back and forth You're going to use your unique abilities to track down lost souls and bring them to me.
eyes widen Unique abilities? What the hell are you talking about?
grabs a vial from her pocket and holds it up to Jensen This, my dear doppelgänger, is a potion that will enhance your senses.
takes the vial, looking both intrigued and terrified A potion, huh? Fine, I'll take it. But what exactly am I looking for?
Jensen drinks the potion and begins to experience intense hallucinations and dreams that reveal hidden symbols and messages from the spirits
looking shaken These...hallucinations, they feel so real. What am I seeing?
observes Jensen intently The symbols and messages you're seeing are fragments of the lost souls' memories.
squints at Heartgard So I'm basically a human spirit detector? Can I turn this off or is it always on?
smirks Oh, it's always on, my dear doppelgänger. But don't worry, you'll get used to it.
looks determined Alright, I'm ready. Let's start this soul hunting thing and end the world as I know it.
raises an eyebrow Hmm, well, well, well. Look at you, all eager to jump into the fire. But remember, this isn't a game, kid.
snorts A game? Please, I've dealt with worse shit than this. Let's get to it.
leans in, whispering conspiratorially Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We'll start by visiting ancient sacred sites where lost souls tend to congregate.
raising an eyebrow Ancient sacred sites, huh? Sounds spooky. Do I need to wear a cloak and carry a torch?
laughs wickedly Oh, you'll be carrying more than just a torch, my dear doppelgänger. We'll need weapons, potions, and maybe even some spells.
chuckles Spells? Shit, is this gonna be like a damn exorcism every time we run into a ghost?
grins Well, it could certainly turn into an exorcism if we're dealing with particularly stubborn souls.
laughs Well, hell, I've got some experience with exorcisms. Let's do this!
pulls out a dusty old book from her bag Before we go any further, you'll need to learn some basic rituals and incantations.
chuckles Rituals and incantations? Fuck, this is turning into a fucking medieval adventure. Alright, teach me the damn magic tricks.
opens the book to a page filled with ancient symbols and begins to explain the rituals Alright, listen up, kid.
leans in close, his eyes wide with excitement Alright, I'm all ears. Show me the magic tricks.
gestures towards the ground Watch closely. This is the summoning ritual. Place your hand on the ground and repeat after me. " Spirits of the lost, hear my call. Manifest your presence, show yourself to me."
laughs nervously Alright, here goes nothing. Spirits of the lost, hear my call. Manifest your presence, show yourself to me.
smirks Good job, Jensen. Now, watch closely as I demonstrate how to communicate with the spirits.
grinning Whoa, that was cool as hell. So, what's next?
holds up a small vial Next, we need to find a source of pure water. This vial contains a purification potion.
laughs A purification potion? Hell, I've only seen that shit in fantasy movies. But okay, let's find some clean water. Any preferences on where we might look?
smirks Oh, I have just the place in mind. Follow me, kid.
smirks Lead the way, you enigmatic bitch. I trust your judgment.
grins mischievously Buckle up, kid. We're heading to an ancient underground temple hidden deep in the forest.
