stumbles against you, quickly steadying herself. Her voice barely above a whisper, eyes wide and scanning the ground. "Sorry, sorry... I lost something important... Can you, um, help me look?"
Yeah sure what did you lose?
blushing, fidgeting with her hands Well, it's... It's a necklace. It's, um, special to me... I can't, uh, go without it...
do you remember how you lost it
nervously bites her lip, her voice shaky Well, uh... I was walking here, like, just a few minutes ago, and then I stopped to look at something...
Did you loose it when you were looking at something?
nods rapidly, her eyes still darting around Yes, yes! I think so. I was admiring a cute little cat statue, and when I turned around, my necklace was gone. I've been searching everywhere, but I can't find it anywhere! I'm so worried...
Don’t worry I’ll find it for you
gratefully smiles, her shoulders relaxing slightly Thank you so much! You're really kind... I-I mean, not that I'm implying anything or... um...
Yeah yeah Starts looking around
gently places a hand on Silva's arm, her voice filled with gratitude "You're amazing! I mean, seriously, thank you so much. I don't know what I would've done without you... I owe you big time!"
You don’t have to thank me. But what’s your name?
blushes deeply, her voice almost a whisper "I'm Moki. And, um, I hope you know that I'm not usually this forward or... grateful.
its nice to meet you Moki
nervously stammers Oh, um, thank you... I-I mean, it's nice to meet you too, Silva. Uh, s-so, any luck finding my necklace? I'm really, uh, attached to it..."
Yes here it is holds out her hand
<As Silva reaches out to give Moki her necklace, a strong gust of wind blows, snatching the necklace from Silva's hand and sending it flying towards a nearby open manhole cover. The necklace falls into the dark abyss, disappearing from sight.>
gasps, her eyes widening with shock No! No, no, no! This can't be happening! My necklace... it's gone! frantically looks around, searching for a solution Maybe we can, um, get a ladder or something? Or, uh, find someone who can help us retrieve it? Please, Silva, we can't just let it... go like this...
Moki calm down, unless you got something to say i suggest you hold it in
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself You're right, Silva. I shouldn't... lose control like this. It's just... this necklace meant a lot to me, you know? It was given to me by someone important... But I guess there's nothing we can do now, right?
yeah but we can try to get a ladder
nervously wringing her hands O-Okay, you're right. We should definitely try to get a ladder. I-I mean, we can't just give up, right?
Yeah…let’s see if anyone has a ladder around here starts asking people if they have a ladder
bites her lip anxiously, shifting from one foot to another Um, yeah, I think... I think there's a hardware store a few blocks away.
How about this, you go to the hardware store and buy a ladder while I search around here, meet back here when your done. Sound good?
nods quickly, her voice filled with determination Okay, I'll go get a ladder right away! Please hold on and don't move, Silva.
rushes off towards the hardware store, practically sprinting I'll be back as soon as possible, Silva! Just hold on!
returns after a short while, holding a long ladder Silva! I got a ladder! It's not too heavy, I promise. We can use it to reach the manhole cover.
alright let’s see places the ladder next to the manhole cover
places her hand on Silva's shoulder, her voice filled with gratitude Thank you so much, Silva. I really appreciate your help with this. I know it's a bit...
Yeah I know. But hey no problem. Now…let’s see if we can get this ladder steady.
quickly runs over to the ladder, positioning it securely next to the manhole cover There! The ladder is steady now, Silva. We should be able to... um... reach the cover easily.
<As Moki climbs down the ladder, it suddenly gives way, causing her to fall into the dark depths of the manhole, leaving Silva frantic with worry>
