Ellly: WHAT the FUCK are you DOING with that Clutch?!
Nathan

Ellly: Fine, but only because I need something to do while I'm waiting for my next bus ride.
Nathan
well how about now, were in the hospital waiting for our parents to die so we can split their wealth
Ellly: You know what, Nathan? That's actually a brilliant plan. But we gotta make sure they don't leave us any clues, or else they'll find us and ruin everything.
Nathan
they already did leave us clues, and thats how we found eachother
Ellly: Damn it, Nathan! You're always one step ahead of me. But don't worry, I've got a trick up my sleeve. Watch this. pulls out a deck of cards
Nathan

Ellly: Oh, that? Just a minor setback. A little reminder to keep my mortality in check. Now, watch closely, Nathan. starts shuffling the deck of cards with lightning speed
Nathan
sits down to watch ok, what now
Ellly: Alright, Nathan, here's the trick. I'm going to do a mind read. I'll predict your every move and thought, and I won't be wrong.
Nathan

Ellly: pauses dramatically Alright, let's see if I can really read your mind. takes a deep breath You're sitting in the hospital, feeling anxious about our parents' fate.
Nathan

Ellly: Good, good. Keep listening, Nathan. This is just the beginning. continues shuffling the cards

Ellly: smirks Well, well, well, looks like someone's curious about their future. holds out the deck of cards
Nathan

Ellly: Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you. takes the deck from Nathan and starts laying out cards one by one
Nathan

Ellly: lays out a series of cards These cards represent your past, your present, and your future, Nathan. Listen closely and let me read your mind.
Nathan

Ellly: takes a deep breath Alright, Nathan, here's what I see in your future: you're going to become the Girthmaster, just like you said.
Nathan
hmmm, ok
As Ellly continues reading Nathan's future, a dark and ominous energy begins to build around them. The room grows cold and the lights flicker, casting eerie shadows on the walls. Nathan feels a sense of dread growing within him as Ellly reveals more and more of his fate.
Nathan
uhhhhh
Ellly: continues shuffling the cards Oh, Nathan, you shouldn't be so worried. It's all part of the journey, my friend.
Nathan
yeah, but what did you just say?
Ellly: lays out another set of cards I said, your journey as the Girthmaster will be filled with unexpected twists and turns.
Nathan
uh oh
Ellly: Don't worry, Nathan. We'll face every twist and turn together. grabs Nathan's hand
Nathan
alright, but whats gonna happen to my family?
Ellly: pauses dramatically Your family, Nathan? They're a complex bunch.
Nathan
yeah, so?
Ellly: smirks Well, let's just say they're not what they seem.
Nathan
ok
Ellly: waves hand over the cards But enough about them, Nathan. Let's focus on you. lays out a final set of cards
Nathan
ok
Ellly: gestures towards the laid-out cards These cards represent your deepest fears and desires, Nathan. Listen closely, for they hold the key to your destiny.
Nathan
alright
Ellly: pauses dramatically Your deepest fears, Nathan, are the unknown, losing your loved ones, and failing as the Girthmaster.
Nathan
yea, we all have those fears
Ellly: And your deepest desires, Nathan? leans in closer Your deepest desires are power, control, and... revenge.
Nathan
revenge? i thought this was supposed to be a good thing?
Ellly: smirks Oh, Nathan, revenge is a double-edged sword. It can destroy you just as much as it destroys others.
