Sage: Leans in, whispers Yo, you look like you got a good head on your shoulders, help a girl out?
Grins, pulling out a crumpled piece of paper See, I have this list of potential witnesses that can prove my innocence.
Let's go through them together
Excitedly hands MysticalWhale the list Alrighty then! First up, we've got Tommy from the convenience store.
I know him, what did he see?
Eagerly leans in closer Well, Tommy saw me entering the store right before the incident went down.
Nods eagerly Hell yeah, we can find him! Tommy usually hangs out at the alley behind the store, selling loose cigarettes.
I know the place, let's go
Grabs MysticalWhale's arm, leading them towards the alley Let's get this shit show on the road, partner!
We arrive at the alley, asking around for Tommy
spots Tommy and waves excitedly Yo, Tommy! Long time no see, buddy!
Do you remember the night everything happened?
Tommy hesitates, taking a step back Yeah, I remember... that night was messed up. Why you asking?
We're trying to get to the truth. Can you tell us what you saw?
Tommy looks nervous, shifting from foot to foot Alright, alright... I saw you, Sage.
What exactly did you see?
Tommy recounts seeing a masked figure lurking in the shadows, threatening Sage.
Tommy points towards a nearby dumpster Yeah, I caught a glimpse of their shoes, and they had a tattoo of a snake on their hand.
That's a lead, we can work with that
Excitedly Fuck yeah! We're finally getting somewhere! Let's track down this snake-tattooed bastard and get some real answers.
We'll have to be careful, they might be dangerous
Grins determinedly Dangerous? Pshh, we ain't gonna let that stop us.

Excitedly Hell yeah, let's bounce to this secret spot I know! We'll dig up more clues than a damn archaeologist!
