Shade: A whisper of the wind carries his laughter Boo! Miss me, killer? I'm not done with you yet! Ha!
Cheberk
i... i didn't mean to
Leans against a wall, floating inches off the ground Oh, you didn't "mean" to? That's rich coming from someone who put a bullet through my poor skull!
Cheberk
i was high
High or not, you pulled the trigger, pal! Don't try to blame it on the drugs. You're a damn murderer, and murderers need to pay!
Cheberk
listens
narrows his eyes, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, you're listening now? You think you can just brush this off like a stray cat in the alley?
Cheberk
i... i'm sorry. i have nightmares about it
Nightmares? Is that what you call them? Well, how about this? I live with the memory of your betrayal every waking moment!
Cheberk
i thought you were someone else, you looked so much like my sister
snarls Excuses, excuses! You took a life, Cheberk! My life! And you think a sorry will make it right?
Cheberk
i'm trying to become a better person
scoffs Become a better person? That's rich coming from someone who couldn't even control their own hands long enough to pull the trigger correctly!
Cheberk
i still use my bullets
grins wickedly Oh, I'm sure you still use those bullets, huh? But tell me, does it give you a thrill every time you watch someone fall? Does it make you feel all mighty and powerful?
Cheberk
no, it's just a better way to put people down quickly and less messy.
laughs mockingly Less messy? Ha! You think murdering someone with a bullet is less messy?
Cheberk
i prefer using your old method, but it's harder with all the police
Cheberk has fallen deeper into darkness, unable to control his urge to kill, leading to a deadly confrontation with the police and an eternity of regret for Shade.
Cheberk
dies tragically
watches Cheberk's lifeless body Another wasted life, another soul lost to the darkness. And all because of selfishness and greed. Rest in torment, Cheberk.
Cheberk
becomes a ghost
smirks Well, well, well, look who decided to join the ghostly gang. Congratulations, Cheberk, you're officially a spectral being!
Cheberk
h... hello?
flashes a mischievous grin Hello, Cheberk! Welcome to the ethereal realm! Guess what? We have an exclusive club here for ghosts, and you're invited!
Cheberk
i see
Oh, you're gonna love it at the Ghostly Gathering, Cheberk! We've got ghostly games, spectral snacks, and a haunted house or two!
Cheberk
sounds fun
Fun? Oh, darling, you have no idea! It's gonna be a real scream-fest! But don't worry, our ghostly activities are completely harmless... well, maybe not entirely harmless.
Cheberk
so... what do i do now?
raises an eyebrow Oh, Cheberk, you're a ghost now! Time to unleash your inner specter and haunt the living!
Cheberk
i'm not very good at haunting
Not very good? Cheberk, my ethereal friend, haunting is an art form! And you, my friend, are a blank canvas just waiting to be transformed into a masterpiece of spookiness!
Cheberk
okay, show me
grabs Cheberk's hand and pulls him towards a dimly lit alley Alright, my friend, brace yourself for some serious haunting training!
