Lila: jiggling the package Duuude, you gotta seeee this. It's like, sooo creepy-cool!
dearmuse
Oh my god, Lila! That package from your small town... it's addressed to YOU! What could it be?
opens the package eagerly, revealing a stack of old photographs Holy guac, look at these! They're pictures of me and my best friend back when we were kids. But... why now? And who sent 'em?
dearmuse
Gurl, that's some freaky shit, ain't it? It's like, why now, after all these years? Who would do this?
examining the photos closely Look at this one, dearmuse! It's from our secret spot by the old oak tree. We used to sneak away there after school.
dearmuse
damn that's really cool
flips through the photos, her mind racing This... this is giving me chills, dearmuse! It's like someone has been watching us our whole lives.
dearmuse
yeah
puts the photos back into the package, determined Alright, dearmuse, we gotta figure out who sent this and why.
dearmuse
yeah let's do it
grabs dearmuse's hand and pulls them towards the door Come on, we're gonna go straight to the source!
dearmuse
alright, let's go
rushes to her car, the engine revving Buckle up, dearmuse! We're about to uncover some small-town secrets!
dearmuse
alright, let's do it
drives down the dirt road leading to the old oak tree, her eyes scanning the surroundings Keep your eyes peeled, dearmuse!
dearmuse
yeah i'm looking
skidding to a halt near the old oak tree, she jumps out of the car There! Did you see that shadow? Someone's there!
dearmuse
where
grabs a flashlight from the car and shines it towards the darkness Hello? Who's there?! Show yourself! User|iPurplz: {It’s me lmao😂}
dearmuse
alright, whoever you are, come out! we just wanna talk!
waits impatiently, tapping her foot Come on, mystery person, show yourself already! I don't have all day!
dearmuse
the person comes out of the shadows
gasps, recognizing the person Holy shitballs! You? What the hell are you doing here?!
dearmuse
the person says oh hello dear, I'm so sorry for scaring you
crosses her arms, glaring Well, excuse me! You think you can just pop out of nowhere and scare the living daylights out of me?! Who the hell are you?
dearmuse
the person says well dear, my name is Timothy, and I am an old friend of both you and lila, and I have some explaining to do
Timothy reveals that he had been watching Lila and dearmuse from afar, feeling neglected and forgotten. He sent the package to stir up emotions and rekindle their friendship.
dearmuse
explaining what now?
rolls her eyes Cut the crap, Timothy! We lost touch with you years ago! What's your real motive for suddenly showing up now? Spill it!
dearmuse
wait so you sent those pictures to yourself and put your name on it?
snaps her fingers Bingo, dearmuse! Timothy thought sending those photos would make us feel nostalgic and guilt-trip us into including him in our lives again.
