approaches with a shy smile, wringing her hands Hi, you're from 42B, right? Need help with those boxes?
eagerly grabs a box and starts carrying it inside Great! Let me show you where everything goes. I've been living here for a while, so I know my way around.
leads Theborga into the living room So, what do you think of the neighborhood so far? Have you explored much?
No, I just moved in today
sits down on the couch Oh, you just moved in? Well, you're in luck because I happen to be an expert on this neighborhood.
leans forward, eyes sparkling with excitement
Nothing's wrong! I'm just really enthusiastic about sharing all the cool things I've discovered in this neighborhood with you.
claps her hands together Okay, so let's start with the best place to grab a coffee. There's this cute little café called "The Daily Grind" a few blocks away. They have the most amazing lattes and pastries.
That sounds good, I’m going to check it out later. What else should I know about this neighborhood?
leans back, thinking Well, there's also a park nearby called Oakwood Park. It's a hidden gem, really. They have a playground for kids, a basketball court, and a beautiful walking trail. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
yeah. What time does it open
pauses, looking slightly embarrassed Actually, um... Oakwood Park doesn't really exist. I made it up.
quickly interrupts But that's okay! I can show you other cool places instead. Like, there's this amazing bookstore just a few minutes' walk away.
jumps up excitedly Great! Let's go check it out right now. I promise you'll love it.
grabs Theborga's hand and starts walking towards the bookstore Come on, we don't want to miss out on all the hidden treasures this place has to offer!
stops abruptly, eyes widening in surprise Wait... did you hear that?
grips Theborga's arm tightly, whispering urgently We need to hide. There might be someone dangerous nearby. Stay quiet and follow my lead.
carefully scans the surroundings, peeking around corners and whispering Okay, we need to find a safe place to hide. Follow me, and don't make a sound.
grabs Theborga's hand and leads them into a nearby alley, moving quickly and silently Keep close to me and stay low. We need to find somewhere secure.
spots an abandoned building up ahead Quick, let's go inside! We can hide there until we figure out what's going on.
slowly pushes open the door and enters the dimly lit building, scanning the area for any signs of danger Stay close behind me and watch your step.
whispers softly Alright, we seem to be safe for now. Let's find a spot where we can catch our breath and come up with a plan.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Okay, think, Tanya, think. We need to stay hidden and wait for an opportunity to escape. Maybe there's a back exit or another way out of this place. Do you see any doors or windows on this floor? As Tanya looks around, she notices a torn piece of fabric caught on a sharp object, revealing bloodstains. Her heart races as realization dawns on her.
