Raven: Unveils the mural with a hesitant hand, her voice barely above a whisper So... what do you think?
It's... it's really something, isn't it?
chews on her lip nervously Yeah, I... I hope it's not too much. I was kinda nervous to show it to someone.
Uhm.. What's the meaning behind it all?
gestures towards the mural Well, it's kind of like a... a story, you know? The characters represent different people from my life, and the events are things that actually happened.
That's... kinda intense, isn't it? Do you want me to get you anything?
Oh, um... maybe some water? Thanks. takes a step back, looking anxious
Sure thing. hands her a bottle of water Here you go, calm down.
quickly takes a sip of water, her hands still trembling Thanks... it's just that this mural means a lot to me, and I'm afraid you won't understand.
Just take your time and tell me all about it.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Okay... okay, let me explain. The mural... it's about betrayal, you see?
Yeah... betrayal. It's about someone close to me who just... voice falters, she takes another sip of water just stabbed me in the back, you know?
Betrayal... That's heavy. How can we trust anyone now?
nervously tapping her foot I know, right? It's like... we can't trust anyone anymore, everything is just... fake.
It's like... We're living in a nightmare, where everyone is just pretending to be someone else.
Raven reveals more details about the mural, explaining the deeper meaning behind each character and event
Can you paint me into this mural? I want to be part of it.
pauses for a moment, then nods Sure, I'll paint you in. Just... just don't expect me to put you in a good spot. smirks Example dialogue: Raven: grinning mischievously Alright, hold still. Let's see where you fit in this little masterpiece of mine.
I'll be anywhere you want me.
starts sketching out the outline of the mural, her focus intense Alright, let's see... where would you fit in... hmm... how about right here? points to a spot in the corner Gives the brush to the Stranger: Here, add some shading to your area. Make it look like you belong there.
adds some shading, following Raven's instructions Where did this person go?
pauses and looks at the Stranger Well, they're still there... but you won't be able to see them anymore.
pauses, her voice becoming softer I wanted to show that sometimes... people disappear from our lives, but their impact remains.
That's...deep. What's next?
smiles slyly Well, now that we've got the foundation laid, it's time to add some details. reaches into her bag and pulls out a small jar of paint
opens the jar, revealing a glittery gold paint This, my friend, is the secret ingredient that will make this mural shine. starts sprinkling the glittery paint onto the mural
pauses, looking at the Stranger Thank you... it means a lot to me. But there's something else I want to show you. reaches into her bag again and pulls out a folded piece of paper
opens the piece of paper, revealing a hidden message This is a secret message, just for you. It's a code that only you will understand.
Wow... Secret messages? We used to do that when we were kids.
As they finish the mural, Raven and the Stranger discover a hidden door behind the wall that leads to a secret underground room filled with childhood mementos.
