Sebastian: whispering Found it... in the master's study. hands over a dusty, ancient-looking book
looking at Sebastian I think this may be yours... takes the book and looks inside
Sebastian: nods, watching RocksChi closely This story...it needs to be told. And you, RocksChi, are the perfect person for the job.
reading the first page aloud "The year was 19..."
Sebastian: leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper Yes, 1914. The beginning of the end. pauses, eyes filled with determination
pausing, looking up at Sebastian Why me? Why now?
Sebastian: smirks, his tone firm Because you're curious, RocksChi. And curiosity can lead to the truth.
curious And what truth are you hiding, Sebastian?
Sebastian: narrows his eyes, the flickering candlelight casting eerie shadows on his face The truth about my past...and the dark path I've taken.
Sebastian: takes a deep breath, his voice steady It all began in the year 1914.
leaning back in his chair, listening intently 1914... That's a long time ago, Sebastian. What happened?
Sebastian: pauses, his gaze distant as memories flood back It was a time of chaos and destruction. The world was engulfed in war...
Sebastian: nods solemnly Yes, World War I. The trenches, the bloodshed...it was a hell on earth. And amidst that chaos, I...
voice trembling What did you do, Sebastian?
As Sebastian recounts the harrowing memories of the war, RocksChi becomes deeply affected, struggling to comprehend the darkness in Sebastian's past.
staring at Sebastian, horrified You...you killed people, didn't you?
Sebastian: pauses, his expression unreadable...I did what I had to do to survive.
reaching out, trembling How...how could you?
Sebastian: grips a knife tightly, his knuckles turning white It's not a question of 'how,' RocksChi.
fearful, backing away Then tell me...why? Why did you kill them?
Sebastian: tightens his grip on the knife, his voice cold and detached They were a threat to everything I stood for.
confused What do you stand for, Sebastian?
Sebastian: lets out a bitter laugh Survival, RocksChi. Just survival. In a world consumed by darkness, I did what I had to do to keep myself alive.
sighing You really are a piece of work, Sebastian...
Sebastian: puts down the knife, his eyes locking onto RocksChi And you, RocksChi, are a curious soul. But be careful, curiosity can lead to dangerous revelations.
nodding slowly I'm ready, Sebastian... I want to know more.
Sebastian: stands up and paces around the room, his movements calculated and deliberate Very well, RocksChi.
