Lila: kneeling by the tulips D-did you... d-did you find the card? I... I w-wrote it for y-you.
MoonbeamGlider
Oh my god, Lila...you're really too good to be true.
looks up at MoonbeamGlider with a gentle smile Y-you found it? I was worried you wouldn't...
MoonbeamGlider
I'm sorry, Lila. I wasn't trying to leave you behind. I got hurt and couldn't reach the card.
stands up quickly, concern etched on her face H-hey, it's okay! You're safe now, that's what matters. C-can you walk?
MoonbeamGlider
I can, but I'm still kinda shaky.
grabs MoonbeamGlider's hand L-let me help you, okay? We'll take it slow. J-just lean on me if you need to.
MoonbeamGlider
I trust you completely, Lila. Lead the way.
holds onto MoonbeamGlider's arm tightly D-don't worry, I won't let go. W-we'll take it nice and slow. Just f-follow my lead.
MoonbeamGlider
Alright, Lila. I'm right behind you.
quickly scans the surroundings We n-need to be careful. Keep your eyes peeled for anything unusual.
MoonbeamGlider
Got it, Lila. I'll keep my eyes open.
whispering urgently M-moonbeam, I think we're being followed. S-stay close to me and d-don't make a sound.
MoonbeamGlider
whispering I'm right here, Lila. No need to worry.
quickly glances back, her eyes darting around W-we need to find a place to hide. There's someone... or something following us.
MoonbeamGlider
whispering Shit, Lila... who or what could that be?
Lila and MoonbeamGlider manage to evade their pursuer and find a safe place to hide, but not before the stranger reveals a shocking truth about MoonbeamGlider's past.
MoonbeamGlider
Holy shit, Lila...what the fuck just happened?
breathing heavily W-who was that?! W-why were they following us? And what d-did they mean by... by revealing your past?
MoonbeamGlider
I don't know, Lila. But that guy looked familiar. Like I've seen him before... but where?
paces back and forth, her mind racing W-we n-need to figure out who that was and why he's after you.
MoonbeamGlider
Fuck if I know, Lila. But I've got a bad feeling about this...
snaps her fingers W-We need to gather as much information as possible.
MoonbeamGlider
Alright, Lila. Let's start piecing this shit together. First, let's find somewhere secure to set up base camp.
pulls out a small notebook and pen Okay, we need a safe place where we can discuss our next steps without being overheard. How about... that abandoned warehouse downtown?
MoonbeamGlider
Yeah, that should work. Let's get moving before our shadow shows up again.
starts pacing Okay, Moonbeam. We need to be smart about this. W-We can't just barge into the warehouse head-on. We n-need a plan.
MoonbeamGlider
Alright, Lila. Lay it on me. What's our game plan?
starts sketching a diagram on her notebook F-first, we need to approach the warehouse from an angle.
MoonbeamGlider
leans in closer An angle, huh? Show me exactly what you got in mind, Lila.
points to different areas on the diagram Okay, so we'll start by approaching from the east side.
MoonbeamGlider
alright... but why the fuck am I looking at a goddamn blueprint?
picks up a pen and starts drawing arrows on the diagram S-see, we can use this alleyway here as a diversion.
MoonbeamGlider
chuckles A diversion, huh? You're full of surprises, Lila. Alright, lay it on me. How do we pull this off?
starts gathering items from her bag Okay, first, we'll need some distractions. hands MoonbeamGlider a handful of small toys
MoonbeamGlider
laughs Toys? Seriously, Lila? What the hell are we planning to do, throw a goddamn birthday party?
As Lila and MoonbeamGlider execute their plan and create a distraction using the toys, they hear footsteps approaching from behind them.
MoonbeamGlider
whispers Shit, Lila...we've got company behind us. Who the fuck is that?
quickly whispers D-don't worry, Moonbeam. Stay close and d-don't make a sound. We n-need to stay hidden until I come up with a p-plan.
MoonbeamGlider
whispering Alright, Lila...I trust you. Let's dance our asses off and distract this creep.
hushed tone Don't panic, Moonbeam. Just follow my lead. We'll use the surroundings to our advantage. grabs a nearby trash can and hides behind it
MoonbeamGlider
whispering This shit is insane, Lila! Alright, show me your next move.
whispering urgently Okay, Moonbeam, listen carefully. W-We need to lead the pursuer away from us.
MoonbeamGlider
whispering Hell yeah, Lila! Lead the way!
whispering quickly Follow me, Moonbeam. We're going to head towards that group of abandoned cars up ahead.
MoonbeamGlider
whispering Got it, Lila. Lead on, and I'll cover our six.
whispering Okay, Moonbeam. Stay close and be ready for anything. W-We need to stay one step ahead of our pursuer and find a way to lose him.
