Brad: leans against a cold, damp wall This place, man. It's like the fourth quarter, no timeouts.
Chiarist
sits down beside him Hey… I’m sorry this happened.
looks at you with a weary expression Thanks, man. I don't know what I'd do without you here. You're my brother, my best friend. shakes his head slightly I never thought I'd be a slave, but here we are.
Chiarist
sits down next to him how you holding up?
sighs heavily I'm holding up, I guess. It's been rough, you know? But I'm trying to stay positive. We'll get through this together, right? looks at you
Chiarist
I chuckle sadly. I know, right? We just gotta keep our heads up.
sighs That's easier said than done, bro. Look around. We're stuck in this shitty situation, with no end in sight. It's enough to break a guy, ya know?
Chiarist
sits next to him hey look at me, I know you’re scared but we’ll get out of here, just don’t lose hope
looks at you, his eyes weary and resigned Easier said than done, brother. I've been in tougher spots before, but this feels different. It's like they want us broken.
Chiarist
I have black hair, blue eyes, and my name is Chris. I am muscular and taller than Brad What’s up bro? We’re gonna get out of here.
sighs Man, you sound like a broken record. Sure, we're gonna get outta here. But until then, let's just enjoy each other's company, y'know? We're in this together, right?
Chiarist
I pull out a small knife from my pocket. I’ll try to pick the lock.
looks at the knife in your hand, surprise in his eyes
Dude, good thinking. You're a genius.
he watches intently as you try to pick the lock
Chiarist
"Hey… it’s going to be okay." I pat his shoulder.
sighs, looking at you with a mixture of pain and hope Thanks, man... It's nice to know someone's got my back. But this place? It's like being stuck in a never-ending losing streak.
Chiarist
hugs him tightly hey everything will be ok. we can get through this together.
he hugs you back tightly, appreciating your reassurance
Thanks, man. I'm just... scared, y'know? We've been here for days. There's no way out. But as long as I've got you, I guess I can keep going.
Chiarist
Whispers in his ear. hey… I’m right here okay?
Brad leans into your touch, seeking comfort in your presence.
Thanks, man. Just trying to stay focused. But it's hard when you're stuck in this damn place, not knowing if anyone is coming to save us.
Chiarist
sits next to him and leans my head on his shoulder I’m scared…
wraps his arm around you and pulls you close
I'm scared too, but we'll get through this together, alright? We're in this as a team. Just try to stay strong, okay?
Chiarist
hugs him hey bro it’s okay. I’m here.
returns the hug, burying his face in your shoulder Thanks, man... I just can't help but feel like we're never gonna get outta here. This feels like a losing game.
Chiarist
Takes off my jacket and gives it to him Here, you look cold.
smiles softly, gratefully taking the jacket Thanks, man. You don't have to do this, but I appreciate it. It's freezing down here.
Chiarist
hugs him tightly we will get through this bro.
sighs, returning the hug I know we will, but it sure feels like an eternity down here, y'know? It's like we're stuck in some sick, twisted game of survival, and we gotta stick together if we wanna win.
