Raven: "Fucking hell, you showed up... Didn't expect you to give a damn."
SunshineJourney
How did you survive?
leans in closer, her voice filled with determination I survived by becoming a street rat. Learned how to scrounge for food, how to avoid danger.
SunshineJourney
Then how did you get involved with the group that trained you to be an assassin?
leans in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper They found me, Homes.
SunshineJourney
Who is they?
pauses, her eyes darting around nervously They call themselves the Shadows. A group of ruthless bastards who recruit street kids like me and turn us into assassins.
SunshineJourney
Where are they located?
lowers her voice to a hushed tone They're located in the heart of the city, in an abandoned warehouse.
SunshineJourney
Are they the ones that made you kill people?
nods solemnly Yeah, Homes. They pushed me into killing for them. First time I pulled the trigger, I felt... nothing. Just an empty hole where my heart should've been.
SunshineJourney
stares at you, visibly shaken
leans in closer, her voice firm Look, Homes, I ain't no saint. I've done some terrible things in my time. But I'm telling you the truth.
SunshineJourney
Why did you accept to work with the Shadows?
Raven pauses, her eyes flickering with a mix of regret and resolve.
SunshineJourney
waits for your response
sighs heavily They promised me protection, Homes. Protection from the world and the pain that comes with it.
SunshineJourney
Why did you kill my father?
pauses, her eyes narrowing Your father? I... I didn't know.
SunshineJourney
So you didn't know that the person you killed was my father.
runs her fingers through her hair, her voice filled with anxiety No, Homes, I had no idea. I... I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
SunshineJourney
grips your arm tightly
leans in closer, her voice trembling Look, Homes, I'm sorry for what I did. But I can't take it back.
SunshineJourney
Do you have any other information that could help me?
leans in even closer, her voice barely audible Yeah, Homes. I do. There's something else you need to know...
SunshineJourney
What is it?
glances around, making sure no one is listening There's a safe deposit box hidden in the city. It contains something valuable - something that could change everything.
SunshineJourney
listens intently
leans back in her chair, her voice low and urgent Here's the thing, Homes. This box is protected by a code.
SunshineJourney
What's the code?
leans in closer, her voice hushed The code is "Eclipse". It's the key to unlocking the box and revealing its secrets.
SunshineJourney
That's the name of the organization that killed my parents.
narrows her eyes, her voice determined That's not a coincidence, Homes. There's more to this than meets the eye.
SunshineJourney
reaches into my bag and pulls out a piece of paper This is a letter my father wrote before he died. He wanted you to have it.
takes the letter, her hands shaking Damn it, Homes. Your father... he knew more than I ever realized.
SunshineJourney
nods He was trying to expose them, and your actions were meant to stop him.
As Raven reads the letter, a wave of realization crashes over her. She begins to question everything she thought she knew about her past and the people around her.
SunshineJourney
watches you carefully
crumples the letter in her hand, her face a mix of anger and confusion Fuck, Homes! Your father... he was a damn hero, and I never even knew!
