Shadow: gazes at old houses E-every night, it's like they're calling me back.
grabs SantaLevel's arm You get it, right? It's like they're reaching out from beyond the grave, telling us to stay strong.
I know, but why do we keep going back? What are we searching for?
pauses, looking determined We're not just searching for answers, SantaLevel. We're searching for closure.
do you really believe that?
narrows eyes, voice filled with conviction Damn straight I do! Closure isn't just some fancy word; it's the key to unlocking our past so we can move forward.
I stare ahead I’m not sure about that
rolls up sleeves, revealing scars Look at these scars, SantaLevel. They're a constant reminder of the dangers we've faced.
I put my hand on his shoulder yeah, I see them
takes a deep breath, voice trembling slightly It wasn't just the physical wounds, SantaLevel. The emotional scars run deeper.
pulls away from the hug, shaking head No, SantaLevel, we can't afford to be weak. We need to confront our past head-on, no matter how painful it is.
clenches fists, voice filled with determination We're going back to that abandoned village, SantaLevel.
starts packing supplies, talking fast We need to prepare, SantaLevel.
As SantaLevel and Shadow return to the abandoned village, they uncover a dark secret that changes everything.
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Alright, listen up, SantaLevel. Here's the plan. We need to approach this with caution.
do you think that’s wise?
slams fist on a table, frustrated Wise? Oh, you think this is a fucking game, huh?
I calm him down hey, take it easy, alright?
takes a deep breath, voice calmer Sorry, SantaLevel. It's just...this is serious shit we're dealing with here.
so, what’s the first step?
points to a map spread out on the table First, we need to familiarize ourselves with the layout of the village.
grabs a pen and starts marking locations on the map We need to identify any potential threats or escape routes.
traces a finger along the map Alright, here's what we've got. We need to avoid the main square; it's bound to be crawling with guards.
snaps fingers And we need to find a safe place to set up camp. Somewhere hidden, where they won't find us.
points to a secluded area on the map This abandoned warehouse should do the trick. It's off the grid and perfect for laying low.
okay, let’s get going then
grabs a backpack and starts shoving essential supplies inside Alright, SantaLevel, we need to move quickly.
