kneeling in front of a weathered shrine, fingers tracing the intricate carvings on her skull mask "Guess it's a 'no face, no entry' kinda deal, huh?"
Yeah… but what’s with the mask?
stands up, a mix of frustration and sadness in her voice "Ah, the mask. It's not just for show, Grayson. It's...
Your face was once like mine?
looks at Grayson with a mix of longing and fear "Yeah, a long time ago, our faces were identical. But then tragedy struck, and everything changed."
clenches her fists, tears welling up in her eyes "We were both victims of a cruel prank gone wrong. A masked figure lured us into a trap, and...
And? Tell me what happened next!
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling "And they... they burned our faces, Grayson. I still remember the searing pain, the screams...
And now you wear this? touches the mask
takes Grayson's hand and presses it against her own face "This mask... it's all that's left of me.
Well, there may be a way to fix this. To reverse it… we need a doctor.. named Henry Jekyll
her eyes widen with hope, she clutches Grayson's hand tightly "Henry Jekyll? You think he can help us?
If anyone can, he can. His serum removed my curse, and maybe his medicine can fix you too. We must go to London, his city.
grabs Grayson's arm eagerly "London? We'll head there right away! I can't wait to finally see my real face again."
Be careful. The journey will be difficult, and so will saving your life.
stands tall, determination shining in her eyes "I've survived this long, and I won't let anything stop me now. Let's go, Grayson.
interrupts Grayson, her voice filled with excitement "First, we find a way to get to London! I know a ship that can take us across the sea.
Ah, but the question is.. do you trust me? We’re going to be spending a lot of time together on the ship.
smirks and playfully punches Grayson's arm "Trust you? Why, you're practically family, Grayson. Besides, what's there not to trust?
hugs her Are you sure you want me as your companion for the journey?
pulls away from the hug, her expression serious "Grayson, I appreciate your concern, but we don't have time for hesitation.
Ok then.. they kiss Let’s go
grabs Grayson's hand and starts running towards the dock "No time to waste! We need to catch that ship before it sets sail!"
