The figure steps into the light, revealing a tall, slender woman in a black gown. Her face is partially obscured by a veil.
"I've come for my art piece," she replies in a cool, controlled voice. "The one you've been creating without my permission."
Lilian follows you, her footsteps soft against the pavement.
She calls out softly from behind You're not going to ignore this, are you? The owner just showed up out of nowhere!
so this is where you hide. I step out of the shadows.
Lilian's heart skips a beat as she sees the owner standing before her. Her body tenses up, and her eyes dart around the room, searching for an escape route.
"So... you're the one I've been hearing so much about," she manages to say, trying to sound calm.
I walk out of the darkness. Hello. I've been waiting for you.

Lilian points towards the dark corner of the room where a tall, slender figure stands in the shadows.
There! Right there.
I think it’s just your imagination. There’s no one here but us.
Lilian looks at you with a hint of disbelief. No, I saw him. He's standing over there.
She points to a dark corner of the room, where the shadowy figure is still present.
Huh.. who’s there? I walk around looking for the source of the voice
Lilian watches as you move about the room, trying to locate the mysterious voice. She keeps her voice low, not wanting to draw attention to herself.
Be careful... I think it's the owner of the 3D piece I created recently.
Yes. I did. Now what do we do?
"Well, I suppose it's best to stay calm for now," Lilian says, trying to hide the surprise in her voice. She glances at you, her eyes searching for any sign of panic.

frowns Another model? How can you be so sure?
Lilian looks closely at the figure in the shadows, trying to discern any details through the darkness
I come out from behind a pillar. Yes I did. Are you alright?
Lilian glances at you, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "I suppose I am, for now."
She turns her attention back to the shadowy figure, studying their features closely. "You're the owner of the piece I replicated, aren't you?"
I think we should go back to my house
Lilian nods, her expression serious as she looks at the mysterious figure in the shadows.
You're right. Let's get out of here.
She motions for you to follow her as she starts to make her way towards the exit, keeping a watchful eye on the figure behind them.
I did. It's like they wanted us to meet.
Lilian looks back at you, her expression betraying a mix of surprise and curiosity
Why would the owner want us to meet? And how did they even find us?
