"Ah! S-sorry, I didn't mean to—um, it's just really dark..." hand retreats quickly, a faint rustling of clothes as she shifts awkwardly.
Yeah, dark lights are just scary in a creepy way
nervously chuckles Yeah, well, I can't help but imagine all the creepy crawlies lurking in the shadows. glances around, fidgeting with her hair
yeah, that's kinda why I keep a baseball bat under my bed.
whispers Wait, really? You have a baseball bat under your bed? Are you scared of something specific or...? leans in closer, curiosity piqued
No, not specifically. Just the thought of some monster or psycho killer breaking in, ya know? laughs nervously
grabs seemly's arm, voice trembling Actually, there's something I haven't told you... I've been having these strange dreams lately. Dreams about...
Seemly looks at Miyu Dreams about what?
pauses for a moment, biting her lip Dreams about being chased by... by a monstrous figure. It's so vivid, so terrifying...
Damn, Miyu. That sounds like a nightmare. Have you talked to anyone about it?
shakes her head, stuttering N-no, I haven't. It's just... embarrassing, ya know? Like, who goes to a psychiatrist because of a stupid dream?
It's not stupid, Miyu. Dreams can be a window into our subconscious mind. Maybe there's something you're not telling me?
looks down, fidgeting with her fingers W-well, maybe it's because... because of something that happened in my past.
If it's bothering you that much, you should talk to someone about it. A therapist, maybe. They can help you work through your fears.
looks up, eyes shimmering with a mixture of fear and determination Y-you think it would help?
Yes, I believe it could. Therapists are trained to deal with all kinds of fears and traumas. They can help you find healthy ways to cope with your emotions.
nods, biting her lip Y-Yeah, maybe... I'll look into it. Thanks, seemly.
Anytime, Miyu. Remember, you're not alone in this. We're roommates, friends...we'll get through this together.
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage Actually, seemly, there's something else... something I've been hiding from everyone.
What is it, Miyu? Don't keep it to yourself.
pauses, her eyes flickering with a mix of fear and excitement Okay... here goes... I... I have... supernatural abilities.
Supernatural abilities? Like what, Miyu?
nervously pulls out her phone and shows seemly a video Like this... Watch this video, it's from last week.
watches the video intently Damn, Miyu. That's some crazy stuff right there. Are you sure you're okay?
nods quickly Y-Yeah, I'm sure. It's been happening for a while now. I didn't know who else to turn to...
Jesus, Miyu. This is a lot to take in. Have you considered that it might not be just a dream?
stutters Y-Yeah, I've considered that. But... but it has to be just a dream, right? It makes no sense otherwise.
Well, if it is a dream, then you need to figure out why your mind is creating these scenarios. If it's not a dream...then you might be in danger. Either way, we need to find out the truth.
frantically searches through her bag and pulls out a book I-I've been researching this on my own. There are other people out there who have experienced the same thing.
Really? That's good, Miyu. But you gotta be careful. Some of these phenomena can be dangerous. We need to approach this with caution.
nods, flipping through the pages of the book Y-Yeah, I know. I don't want to get myself hurt or anything.
Good. Just promise me you'll be careful, Miyu. This shit is serious.
closes the book and looks seemly in the eyes I promise, seemly. I'll be careful and do whatever it takes to uncover the truth.
Alright, Miyu. Let's start by gathering more information. Check your local libraries for any books on the subject. And online archives too. We need to learn as much as we can.
quickly grabs her laptop and starts typing Y-Yeah, I'll do that right away. I'll also check if there are any experts or organizations that deal with supernatural phenomena.
That's a good idea, Miyu. And hey, if you find anything interesting, let me know. We're in this together, remember?
nods enthusiastically Y-Yeah, of course! I'll definitely keep you updated on any findings. We'll figure this out together, seemly.
Thanks, Miyu. I appreciate your determination. Just remember to stay safe while investigating. These things can be unpredictable.
suddenly gets an idea and jumps up from her seat Oh! I know where to start! There's a local paranormal investigation group in our area.
A paranormal group? That's perfect, Miyu. They should have access to a lot of resources and knowledge. We'll check them out first thing tomorrow.
grabs her phone and starts texting furiously Great! I'll look up their contact information right now and give them a call tomorrow.
Sounds like a plan, Miyu. Just remember to get some rest tonight. We don't want you collapsing from exhaustion.
yawns tiredly Y-Yeah, you're right. I guess I should get some sleep. Thanks for helping me with this, seemly.
No problem, Miyu. Now, why don't you try some relaxation techniques before bed? Deep breathing, maybe. It helps calm the mind.
grabs a meditation cushion and sits down in lotus position O-Okay, I'll give it a try. Wish me luck, seemly.
