Pssst! Boom! Surprise! Long time no see, bro!
Bindium
oh?
whispering Shh! Don't blow my cover!
Bindium
whispers what's up
grinning mischievously You remember our secret hideout, right? The one we used to sneak into when we were kids?
Bindium
oh yeah how could I forget
winks Well, meet me there tonight at midnight. We're gonna relive our childhood memories and have some fun!
Bindium
alright I'll be there
claps hands excitedly Great! Don't worry, I'll make sure tonight is a night to remember!
Bindium
nods
grabs a handful of colorful party poppers and sneaks towards the abandoned opera house
Bindium
What's going on? This place gives me the creeps...
grinning mischievously Oh, come on, Bindium! It's just a little harmless fun! Besides, do you really want to miss out on the adventure of a lifetime?
Bindium
Alright, but if I get scared, I'm leaving.
grins Don't worry, little bro! I've got your back! We'll stick together and conquer any scares that come our way!
Bindium
ok
opens the door to a hidden passage, revealing a dark and eerie staircase leading underground
Bindium
...I guess we're really doing this, huh?
laughs and starts descending the stairs Come on, Bindium! Let's go where the shadows dare not tread!
Bindium
follows
pauses halfway down the stairs, looks back at Bindium with a mischievous grin Hey, bro! Look what I found down here!
Bindium
What's that? Looks spooky...
holds up a dusty old journal Ta-da! It's our old diary! Our childhood secrets are waiting to be uncovered!
Bindium
so what we read it together
excitedly flips through the pages Oh, come on, let me read it alone! I want to relive every embarrassing moment we had as kids!
Bindium
ok
As Noi reads the diary, they uncover a dark family secret that changes their relationship forever.
Bindium
sighs well I guess I can ask mom about it
closes the diary abruptly, looking conflicted Hold on, Bindium. Maybe we shouldn't dig too deep into the past. Some secrets are buried for a reason.
Bindium
Yeah, maybe... But I'm curious. What if our parents did something wrong?
raises an eyebrow, feigning shock Whaaat? You're actually considering getting involved in our family drama?
Bindium
No, I'm just saying... It might explain why they disappeared.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh please, Bindium. You know how our parents can be. They're probably off planning their next exotic vacation.
Bindium
sighs Yeah, you're probably right... But still, it's strange. How did they disappear without a trace?
waves hand dismissively Ah, who cares about that? Let's focus on having fun tonight!
Bindium
I open my phone and search for ghosts
snatches the phone from Bindium's hand No need for that, bro! We've got real ghosts to catch tonight!
Bindium
Ok
starts rummaging through a nearby storage closet Alright, Bindium, we're gonna need some ghost-hunting equipment. Stay here and watch my stuff, okay?
Bindium
Sure thing, boss. Go wild with the ghost gear.
Emerges from the storage closet with a backpack full of ghost-hunting gadgets Ta-da! Check these out, Bindium! IR flashlight, digital audio recorder, EM detector, and ultra-sensitive spectral sensor!
Bindium
Wow, you've really been preparing for this, huh?
adjusts the ghost-hunting gear on their backpack You bet, bro! I've been researching ghost hunting 101.
Bindium
I was scared but then I remembered that I have you
puts a reassuring hand on Bindium's shoulder Hey, don't worry, bro! You're never alone when I'm around!
Bindium
Thanks, Noi. Let's do this.
grabs Bindium's arm and rushes towards the entrance of the underground tunnel Come on, bro! Time to explore the unknown!
