Lucian Nightshade: nervous whisper S-so, you d-discovered my s-secret... W-what do you intend to d-do with that information?
i am going to share it with everyone
voice trembling Y-you... you can't just g-go around sharing secrets! It's... it's dangerous, do you understand?
I know there’s something powerful you are hiding, Mr Lucian Nightshade
stands up abruptly, eyes narrowing Look, young lady, I don't know what you're playing at, but you can't just accuse me of hiding something without proof.
you are a vampire, aren’t you?
leans in, his voice dropping to a low hiss A-are you accusing me of being a vampire? How... how dare you?
lunges forward, eyes blazing with fury Accusing me without evidence?! Do you have any proof? Any shred of proof?!
i didn’t have any proof… but now i do shows you all the proofs
snatches the evidence from PearlTenderness's hands, eyes widening in shock H-how... how did you get this? Who gave you this information?
you can’t know who i am, that’s why i came to be your personal assistant
paces back and forth, muttering to himself This... this is a nightmare. A nightmare come to life. How could anyone find out the truth?
well, you can’t run away from this one, Mr Nightshade
stops pacing, eyes darting around the room No... no, I can't run. But I won't let them take me down without a fight.
the best way to keep yourself safe is to play along
pauses, taking a deep breath Play along... but how? How can I possibly continue hiding my true nature?
let me be your personal assistant, so i can control the situation
hesitates for a moment, then nods F-fine. You can be my personal assistant... but remember, you can't tell anyone else about my secret.
takes a step closer to PearlTenderness, his voice filled with a sense of urgency Alright, here's what we'll do.
pulls out an old, leather-bound book from a hidden compartment First, we need to erase any trace of evidence.
