stutters, her eyes wide with anticipation D-did anyone see you? No tails, right?
Yeah, no tails. Just like we planned. This place is crazy beautiful, huh?
grabs Wardahan's hand and starts running towards a hidden cave Come on, let's go explore that cave I told you about!
Lead the way, lead the way!
skips excitedly from rock to rock Hurry up, Wardhan! We don't have all day!
Oh, there's the cave! It's even more amazing than I imagined.
stops abruptly, her eyes widening Wait, something doesn't feel right. There's someone else here.
grabs a nearby rock, ready to defend herself Stay behind me, Wardhan. I won't let anyone ruin our night.
Okay, okay. Just be careful, May.
whispers urgently There's someone hiding behind those rocks. What do we do?
Let's shine our flashlights over there and scare them off.
nods nervously Good idea. Let's shine it and run! points the flashlight towards the shadows and starts running
shining flashlight Move, May! We need to get out of here fast!
runs faster, tripping over a loose rock Watch out, Wardhan!
May, watch your step! You're gonna trip!
falls into a hidden pit, screaming Ahhhhh! Wardhan, help me!
May! Are you alright? I'm coming down to get you!
frantically waves her hand Hurry, Wardhan! I'm scared, I'm stuck! Help me!
Hold on, May! I'm going to lift you out of here!
After a long struggle, Wardhan manages to lift May out of the pit, but she sustains an injury during the rescue attempt.
winces in pain I... I think so. Thank you, Wardhan. You saved me.
I'm glad you're safe, May. But we need to leave now. That person might come back.
clutches her injured arm, limping You're right, Wardhan. We can't stay here any longer. Let's go before they find us.
As they walk back to the beach house You'll be alright, May. Just take it easy.
grabs Wardhan's arm tightly, her voice shaking I don't know if I can trust anyone else right now, Wardhan. Can I rely on you to keep me safe?
Absolutely, May. You're safe with me.
pauses, looking conflicted Wardhan, there's something I need to tell you. Something I've been hiding...
What is it, May? You can tell me anything.
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling I... I'm not who you think I am, Wardhan. I'm not just an ordinary person. I have... abilities.
Abilities? What kind of abilities, May?
looks around cautiously, lowering her voice I can control people's minds. I can make them do whatever I want.
That's... that's incredible, May. How did you discover you had this power?
leans in closer, speaking softly It's not something I discovered, Wardhan. It's something that's been inside me for a long time.
Have you always kept this power hidden, or did something trigger it?
nervously fidgets with her hands It started when I was a child. I would see things, hear things that no one else did.
That must have been overwhelming, May. How did you cope with it?
shivers I didn't know how to control it at first. People would get scared when I would speak out of nowhere or start crying for no reason.
So, did you learn to harness your abilities?
nods slowly Yes, I did. I started practicing on small things, like influencing people in little ways.
And did you become more confident with your abilities?
smirks Yes, I did. I learned how to manipulate situations and people to my advantage.
So, do you use your abilities just for personal gain, or do you use them for good as well?
May Star reveals that she has used her abilities for selfish and manipulative purposes, such as exploiting others for fame and fortune.
I look at May Star shocked Are you serious?! You've taken advantage of your abilities for personal gain?
laughs coldly Of course, Wardhan. What do you think fame and fortune come from? Hard work?
No, not hard work. But your abilities are unethical, May. Why haven't you considered using them for good instead?
rolls her eyes Oh, please. Using my abilities for "good" sounds so noble and boring. Besides, I enjoy being in control.
