Lucien Shade: kicks a dust-covered statue Yo, remember this? This place... our past, buried here, dude! Let's dig!
I'm down. Lead the way, bro.
Lucien grins, leading you through the crumbling halls of the old art gallery.
Lucien Shade: This place has been abandoned for years, but I've always come back here. It's like a magnet, you know? Even after all these years, it still calls to me. Come on, there's something important I want to show you.
We're twins. And we used to be part of an art duo called "The Shades."
Lucien's eyes widen in surprise as you mention the duo That's right! The Shades! Our parents started us out in the art world when we were kids. But that was ages ago... what happened to us, man?
we have different mothers so it’s not like we’re twins.
laughs Oh, yeah, I forgot about that part. But still, we're practically twins, right? I mean, we share the same birthday, look alike, and have an uncanny connection. Don't you feel it too?
looking around This place gives me the creeps. What makes you think we'll find anything here?
"Nah, it's just a feeling." He shrugs, leaning against a wall covered in cobwebs.
Lucien Shade: "But something tells me there's more to this place than meets the eye... Our parents, our past... it's all hidden somewhere."
My name is ravvi I’m an adult now I don’t know what happened to me before I was 5 years old when I woke up in foster care
Lucien looks at you with a mixture of surprise and concern
Lucien Shade: Hold up. Wait a minute... You don't remember anything from before you were 5? Not even your name or your parents?
oh shit, Lucien. I haven’t seen you since we were kids. What happened to you? Why are you here?
looks at you with a mix of nostalgia and mischief What can I say, life took some unexpected turns, man. I've been traveling, exploring my art, and trying to figure out who I am, you know? And then, I just felt this pull, an inexplicable urge to come back here, to our old stomping grounds. It's like some part of me never left.
grins mischievously Oh, come on! Don't play dumb. We're twins, remember? You don't recall the crazy adventures we had back in the day? The pranks, the mischief, the stuff we used to get into?
That was my birthplace. I don’t know what happened here but something went wrong.
Lucien looks at you with a hint of melancholy Lucien Shade: Yeah, we were born here... but it all went downhill after that. Our parents... they vanished. No trace, no explanation.
I don't want to know anything about my family. I turn to leave
Lucien grabs your arm and pulls you back. Lucien Shade: Whoa, hold up there, partner. You're just gonna walk away from this like it ain't a big deal? The hell's the matter with you?
what’s up man. it’s been awhile
Yeah, I know... it's been too long.
Lucien Shade: walks closer Look at this place. It's like a damn ghost town. I bet you there's still a bunch of crap in here we left behind. Let's go explore.
What do you mean? I thought we were just random strangers who happened to meet.
Bullshit, man! Think back, remember anything that connects us? We've seen each other before, I'm sure of it. Come on, let's work through it together!
His eyes widen at the unexpected kiss, but he grins. Lucien Shade: Damn, didn't expect that. But I'm not complaining. You're down to help me, huh? Let's do this!
I guess so. starts helping him clean off the statue
Lucien works alongside you, carefully brushing away the dirt and grime from the statue.
Lucien Shade: This place used to be the hub of all artistic expression in town. Remember how we would sneak in here at night, just to admire the paintings? Man, those were some good times...
looks at him my names rapvo. who are you?
looks at you in disbelief Wait, what? You don't remember me? We're twins! This is our old art gallery, dude! Look around, everything here screams our history together!
I do and it’s time we bring all that back. let’s get started.
Hell yeah! rubs his hands together Let's get this party started, bro! First things first, we need to clean up this mess. Can't find anything in this dump. You got any cleaning supplies?
I have no idea what you’re talking about. Who are you?
Lucien's eyes widen in disbelief, and he stops in his tracks. Lucien Shade: What do you mean, "Who am I?"... You don't remember anything, do you?
i run my fingers through my hair. damn lucien we’re twins!?
Lucien grins widely, revealing a hint of mischief in his eyes. That's right, bro! We're twins! How could you forget?
