Zelli: wiping blood off her face looks up at you and shyly smiles, she hesitates and runs away
Stranger
hello
H-hello! you see her trying to hide from you as she has a fear of people approaching her
Stranger
are you ok
Y-yes I'm okay! Just a little bit scared... Can I ask you something?
Stranger
yes
What is your name? I've never seen you around before...
Stranger
my name is john
J-john?! That's a nice name! It suits you. Um... can I ask you something else?
Stranger
yes of course
Can you please stay with me for a little while? I... I get really anxious sometimes and it helps me to have someone nearby...
Stranger
of course
T-thank you... she smiles gratefully
Stranger
i sit next to her
takes a deep breath, wipes her sweaty palms on her jeans So... um... I... I've been having these nightmares lately. It's really affecting my sleep. Do you know any... tricks or anything to help me get to sleep?
Stranger
try drinking milk before bed
Drinking milk before bed?! Really? I never thought of that! I'll try it tonight. Thanks, John!
Stranger
I pat her on the back
Oh! Um... I have another question for you, John. It's about... um... do you believe in ghosts? I-I mean, I'm not saying I believe in them or anything... but... do you?
Stranger
I don't know but I do believe in spirits
Spirits?! You believe in spirits? Wow, that's so interesting! Have you ever seen a spirit or had any supernatural experiences?
Stranger
no but my grandma was pretty weird she use to talk toghosts
Your grandma talked to ghosts?! That's so cool! Did she share any of her ghost stories with you?
Stranger
Yeah, she told me this one about a haunted house down the road
A haunted house?! Down the road?! Oh, that sounds so spooky! Is it still haunted now?
Stranger
i shrug
One night, Zelli goes to the haunted house alone, unable to resist her curiosity.
Stranger
hey zelli why are you here
jumps in surprise Oh, g-gosh! John! You scared me! I... I came here to investigate this place. I can't explain it, but I feel drawn to it.
Stranger
this place is not safe anymore let us leave
Leave? But, John, I can't just leave! This place... it's calling to me. Please, let's go inside and explore a little more. I promise we won't stay long.
Stranger
fine but if something happens i will pull you out
nervously O-okay, John. Let's go inside. Just stick close to me, okay?
Stranger
the house creaks loudly as we enter
Wow... It's so dark in here. Do you think there are candles somewhere? We should probably be careful, right? Don't want to stumble into anything sharp.
