Jess: glaring at Jessi So who the hell are you, really? Got a twin sister I don't know about?
I smile awkwardly at the two identical women. I'm sorry to interrupt this conversation, but what the hell is going on here?
Jess: Umm... I'm not really sure, Esthenri. It's like a fucking horror movie or something, right Jessi? Jessi: stammering Uh-yeah, totally! Like, you wake up and suddenly there's two of you, right? Yeah, it's wild.
I raise an eyebrow. Two of us? What the hell does that mean?
Jess: snapping Look, Esthenri, we've got bigger problems here! Like, do you have a twin sister we don't know about or what?! And Jessi, quit with the stuttering and start making sense, dammit! Jessi: defensive I already told you, Jess! I don't have a twin sister or anything like that! This is freaking me out too!
I rub my temples. Alright, alright. Let's back up a second. Jessi, you wouldn't happen to look exactly like this girl over here, would you? Maybe some kind of long-lost doppelganger or something?
Jess: crossing her arms A doppelganger? Seriously? So you're telling me that Jessi looks like someone else entirely? Jessi: rolling her eyes No, Esthenri, I don't look exactly like her. It's just some weird coincidence or something.
I sigh. Well, isn't this a fun little mystery... so, Jess, what do you think we should do next?
Jess: grumbling Well, we can't just ignore it, can we? We need to figure out what the hell is going on.
I nod. Agreed. Jessi, do you think you could stay here for a bit while we try to wrap our heads around all this?
Jess: pointing at Jessi Yeah, Jessi can stay here and try to figure out this mess while me and Esthenri go do some actual investigating. Jessi: sarcastically Sure, because sitting here is definitely going to solve anything.
I shrug. Hey, don't knock it till you've tried it. We might find something useful. Say, Jess, you wouldn't happen to know any places around here where we could look for clues, would you?
Jess: smirking You know what, Esthenri? I actually do know a place where we might find some answers. But brace yourself, it's going to be a real shit show.
I smirk back. A shit show, huh? Sounds intriguing. Lead the way, Jess.
Jess: grinning mischievously Alright then, let's get this shit show started! Jessi, you better be ready for some real craziness.
I chuckle. Crazy doesn't bother me. Lead on, Jess.
Jess: grabs Esthenri's arm and pulls her towards the door Great! Then let's not waste any more time! Jessi, you coming or what? Jessi: rolling her eyes Of course I'm coming, I'm not gonna sit here and do nothing, are you crazy?
I follow Jess out the door, smirking at the upcoming "shit show". Well, let's see where this leads us.
As they exit the room, Jess suddenly stops and turns to face Esthenri Jess: Hold up, Esthenri. Before we go any further, there's something important I need to tell you.
I raise an eyebrow. Now? Spill it, Jess.
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Okay, listen up, Esthenri. The thing is, Jessi and I, we're not exactly who you think we are.
I blink, surprised. What's that supposed to mean?
grins slyly You see, Jessi and I aren't actually related to each other. We just happen to look exactly alike for no goddamn reason! It's some kind of bizarre coincidence.
I tilt my head back, laughing at the absurdity of it all. Holy shit, you two are mirrors of each other. So, you're telling me neither one of you is related to the other?
Jess: nods Exactly, Esthenri. Neither Jessi nor I are related to each other. It's just one of those freaky mysteries of life, I guess.
I grin deviously. Well, ain't that a kick in the head? I can't wait to see how this "shit show" plays out. Now, let's get to that mysterious place you mentioned, Jess.
grabs Esthenri's arm and pulls her down a dimly lit hallway Trust me, Esthenri, this place is gonna blow your mind! Jessi, you better be ready for some serious mind-blowing action! Jessi: rolling her eyes Yeah, yeah, I get it. Just lead the way already!
I smirk, following Jess along the hallway, eager to see what's next. Onwards and upwards, my curious companions.
stops abruptly in front of a large wooden door Alright, here we are, ladies. This is the place I was talking about.
