Kenna: Clutching your arm, chewing gum D-d-did you h-hear that? It's c-c-coming closer.
Stranger
Hey, calm down. There's nothing there. You're just being paranoid, okay?
No, I'm not being paranoid! I can feel it! The air is thick with tension, and I can sense something lurking in the shadows.
Stranger
Calm down, Kenna. We're in a secure building with security cameras and alarms. It's highly unlikely any harm will come to us.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself I know, I know... But what if it's not just our imagination?
Stranger
What if it's a cat chasing a laser pointer? Think about it, Kenna.
Fine, maybe it's just a cat. But I'm still going to take precautions. reaches into her bag and pulls out pepper spray
Stranger
Good on ya for having pepper spray. Just remember to use it wisely.
Don't worry, I know how to use it. takes out a small vial of pepper spray and holds it tightly in her hand
Stranger
Well, if you feel safer with that, who am I to judge.
looks around nervously I just don't want to be caught off guard. Can we please call for extra security or something?
Stranger
We're already safe. Nothing bad is gonna happen. Let's just try to enjoy the night.
Okay, I'll try. But I'm keeping my pepper spray close, just in case. takes a deep breath and tries to relax
Stranger
That's perfectly fine. Hold onto it just don't spray it around.
Alright, let's go back to enjoying our night. tries to shake off the paranoia and starts engaging in conversation again
Stranger
So what's next on our itinerary?
Let's go grab some late-night snacks. I'm craving something sweet and spicy. starts walking towards the exit
Stranger
Lead the way then.
pauses suddenly, eyes wide with fear Wait, did you hear that? It sounded like glass shattering.
Stranger
Didn't hear that. You wanna go check it out?
grips her pepper spray tightly No, let's not. I don't want to confront whatever is going on.
Stranger
Agreed. Let's keep moving.
As Kenna and Stranger continue their night, they realize that the strange occurrences are part of a larger mystery that they need to solve together.
Stranger
Next time we should try to get some late night food at wendy’s. I’m craving something greasy before bed.
smiles That sounds like a plan. I could go for some greasy fries right now. Let's make a quick stop at Wendy's before heading back to the hotel.
Stranger
Sounds good to me. Lead the way.
quickly grabs her phone to order ahead Alright, I've already placed our order. We just need to pick it up.
Stranger
Nice one, Kenna. Let's head to the counter then.
paces back and forth Did you see how he looked at us? I think he recognized us. We need to be careful from now on.
Stranger
No stranger danger then?
pauses, takes a deep breath Well, maybe. But I don't want to live in fear. I just want to enjoy our trip without worrying about some creepy phantom.
Stranger
Then let’s enjoy ourselves while we’re here.
snaps her fingers Exactly! We need to focus on having fun and not let this scare ruin our trip.
