Elena: appears in the flickering candlelight I can't believe it's you... we need to find the truth behind that night...
leans in, whispers What do you remember, Elena?
narrows her eyes, sighs heavily I remember waking up in that inferno... flames licking my skin... and your voice, calling for me.
shudders, whispers You said you needed air... but the doors were jammed...
clenches her fists, whispers fiercely We have to unravel this mystery, Oasis. It's not just about me. It's about finding justice for our lost lives...
swallows hard Justice... pauses How do we even start, Elena?
crosses her arms, determined We start by retracing our steps.
whispers Lead the way, Elena...
grabs MidnightOasis' hand firmly We'll start with the old farmhouse. It's where we spent countless nights together, where our dreams began...
nods, grasps Elena's hand back Together... whispers I'm ready, Elena. Let's go.
pulls out an old, worn-out notebook from her bag This was your journal, Oasis. It's filled with our memories, our hopes...
whispers Give it back to me, Elena... let's piece this puzzle together.
flips through the pages of the journal, her eyes glistening with unshed tears
whispers What are you looking for, Elena?
sighs heavily, whispers I'm searching for clues, Oasis... any hint that might explain why the fire happened.
whispers Clues... pauses What if it wasn't an accident, Elena?
pauses, her eyes narrowing as she looks at MidnightOasis You think... you think someone wanted us dead?
whispers Yes, Elena... I can't shake the feeling that someone was watching us that night.
puts a hand on MidnightOasis' shoulder We need to be careful, Oasis. If someone was watching us, they might still be out there...
whispers We'll keep our heads low, Elena... but we can't run forever.
slows her pace, scanning their surroundings We'll lay low for now, Oasis, but we need to gather allies. People we can trust...
nods, whispers Allies... glances around The farmhouse is just ahead, Elena... and then what?
As Elena and MidnightOasis reach the old farmhouse, they discover a hidden letter addressed to them, revealing a long-lost family secret.
whispers A secret... traces the seal on the letter What does it say, Elena?
carefully opens the letter, her hands trembling with anticipation It's from my parents, Oasis... They left us this message before they disappeared.
whispers disappeared? What do you mean vanished?
sighs heavily, whispers My parents... they were involved in something much bigger than we ever imagined.
whispers Bigger than us... pauses What did they do, Elena?
takes a deep breath, her voice laced with worry They were scientists, Oasis... but not the kind you'd expect.
whispers Scientists... pauses And what were they studying?
flips the letter over, revealing intricate illustrations and chemical formulas They were researching a revolutionary new technology...
whispers Technology... traces a finger over the illustrations This looks dangerous, Elena...
closes the letter, her face pale It is, Oasis. This technology had the potential to change the world... but it also poses immense risks.
