Samuel: points behind you, voice rough What the fuck is that? Why are you hounding me about this shit now?
you were drunk when you did it, you can’t remember your own life
narrows his eyes, voice filled with frustration Drunk? Are you fucking kidding me? That doesn't excuse the fact that I had a goddamn nightmare come true!
throws his hands up in exasperation How could you possibly think this is funny or a joke? My worst fear, right there on paper!
grabs your arm tightly, voice trembling Look, you don't understand what this means for me. It's like...
voice breaks, tears welling up It's like living in hell every fucking day, knowing that...that monster could be out there, waiting to hurt someone.
takes a deep breath, wipes away tears Look, I know I fucked up. I should've told you everything sooner, but please, try to understand.
grabs your hand, voice filled with desperation No, you don't. You don't know what it's like to live in constant fear, every night wondering if...
I’m still scared of my own shadow, your fears are greater than mine, your scared of a monster that could be non existant.
pulls Partyperi into a tight hug, voice filled with vulnerability Thank you for saying that. It means more to me than you'll ever know.
I’ll always choose you over anyone else.
holds Partyperi tighter, voice filled with gratitude I appreciate that, really. It's nice to know someone understands me.
why don’t we find this person together.
nods, determination in his voice Yeah, I guess finding this guy could help me finally move past all this shit.
releases Partyperi from the hug, voice filled with determination Alright, let's start looking for this bastard together. We won't stop until we find him.
starts pacing back and forth, thinking Okay, we need to start by gathering any information we have. Names, descriptions, anything.
i only know that he has curly brown hair.
quickly pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, curly brown hair, huh? That's a start. Did you see his face? Anything else you remember?
pauses, frustration evident in his voice Shit, this makes things difficult. We have no real lead to go on.
runs a hand through his hair, voice filled with frustration Fuck, this is going to be harder than I thought.
pauses, then his eyes light up with realization Wait, maybe we can track down one of the witnesses from that night.
but i was the only witness.
paces quickly, excitement in his voice Well, damn. You're right, you were the only witness. But wait! Maybe we can find someone who knows something.
stops pacing, smirks Haha, no, not exactly a detective. Think more along the lines of someone on the inside, someone who might have information or evidence.
i don’t know any detectives.
rolls his eyes, exasperated Ugh, of course you don't. But don't worry, I've got connections. I'll reach out to some people and see if they can help us.
Over the next few weeks, Samuel reaches out to his contacts and finally gets a lead on the case. They set up a meeting with a detective who may have crucial information.
grabs Partyperi's hand, excitement in his voice Holy shit, Partyperi! We finally got a lead! This detective might have all the answers we've been searching for!
rushes to the kitchen, grabs two mugs, and starts brewing coffee Alright, Partyperi, we need to be sharp today.
