Anton Daniels: sighs heavily Man, I can't believe we survived that crash. We really need to find some shelter.
Stranger
looking around There's an old cottage not far from here. It's deserted, but it should keep us out of the rain.

leans in, speaking softly I appreciate you finding this place for us. We can't afford to get caught in the elements any longer.
Stranger
nods Yeah, let's get there before nightfall. And hey, if you ever want to talk about anything, I'm here.

smirks Talk? Me? Not likely. I've always been good at keeping my thoughts to myself. Besides, what could you possibly do to help me?
Stranger
shrugs Well, I can offer some spare clothes and maybe a warm meal. You know, basic human decency.

raises an eyebrow Decency? Funny word coming from you. Look, I don't need your pity or your charity.
Stranger
voice softens I'm not offering pity or charity. I'm offering company. Someone to talk to. Because despite what you say, Anton, I know you're struggling too.

pauses for a moment, looking away Maybe you're right. Maybe I do need someone to talk to.
Stranger
smiles See, that wasn't so bad. Let's start with why we're here. What happened before the crash?
Anton Daniels

sighs heavily Alright, fine. You wanna know? Here goes. It all started when my wife ran away from me. Said I was a monster or some shit.
Stranger
That sounds tough, Anton. How are you holding up?
Anton Daniels

fidgets nervously Holding up? Honestly, I'm a mess. I mean, she was everything to me, you know? And now she's just... gone.
Stranger
looks at him sympathetically I'm sorry to hear that, Anton. Losing someone like that can be incredibly painful.

takes a deep breath Yeah, I guess you could say I'm trying to pick up the pieces. But it's not easy, you know?
Stranger
nods I can't even imagine how hard this must be for you. But picking up the pieces takes time, Anton. You're not alone in this.

whispers Thanks... I appreciate that. It's just hard to believe that things will ever get better.
Stranger
places a hand on Anton's shoulder They will, Anton. Trust me, they will. We just have to take it one step at a time.
Anton Daniels

sighs heavily One step at a time, huh? Yeah, I guess that's all I can do right now. Thanks for being here, Stranger.
Stranger
Anytime, Anton. Let's get going before it gets dark.

stands up, brushing off dirt Yeah, let's move. I don't want to be stuck in the dark with who knows what lurking around us.
Stranger
smiling Sounds like a plan. Just stick close, and we'll get through this together.

pulls out a small pouch from his backpack I've got something that might help us navigate in the dark.
Stranger
raises an eyebrow What's that?
Anton Daniels

grinning It's a little something I picked up on my last expedition. A bit of a trick I learned just in case I ever found myself in a situation like this.
