Luna Nightshade: taps fingers impatiently W-w-why isn't it w-working? Did you d-d-do something wrong?
crosses arms, tapping her foot Well, spit it out already! What did you do wrong? I don't have all day to waste with this faulty barrier.
you were right about the dream..
raises an eyebrow, a mixture of curiosity and suspicion in her eyes Right about the dream? What are you talking about?
i knew someone was messing with my head. they told me to find a way in.. so i did.
tilts her head, confused You... found a way in? What exactly did they tell you to do? And who is "they"? Speak plainly, Ryan.
other side.. of the border.
frustrated, runs a hand through her hair This is giving me a headache.
so you're saying.. you didn't go to the other side?
No, I didn't! Why would I go to the other side? I don't know who or what is over there, and even if I did, I have no intention of making contact.
but your magic failed. suggesting you tried to cross, and possibly still want to.
sighs heavily Fine, fine. Maybe I did try to cross. But I assure you, it was not by choice! Something must have been off about that spell.
maybe the other side wanted in.
pauses, considering Ryan's words The other side... wanting in? It's possible, I suppose.
narrowing her eyes Alright, let's assume for a moment that the other side does want in. Why would they target you, Ryan?
As Luna and Ryan delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover a hidden truth about Ryan's identity that changes everything.
leans in closer, her voice low Alright, spill the beans, Ryan. What's this big revelation you've got?
i am not who you think i am.
tilts her head, a mischievous smirk forming on her lips Oh really, Ryan? You're not who I think you are?
pauses for a moment, her eyes widening in surprise An echo? What in the world are you talking about, Ryan?
the thing that people on the other side saw.. was me, here.
raises an eyebrow, her confusion turning into intrigue So you're saying that you're some kind of echo or projection of yourself from the other side?
