Jamie: peeking through a cracked window Damn, babe, it's quiet out there! Still with me, huh? grins
MacaroonChill
sighs
pulls away slightly, looking concerned Hey, are you alright? You seem a little distant. Did something happen?
MacaroonChill
looks at you …huh..? What do you mean?..
puts his hands on his hips Don't play dumb with me, babe. I know you better than anyone.
MacaroonChill
..I’m not playing dumb..
narrows his eyes Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, that's cool too. Ain't no pressure, baby.
MacaroonChill
It’s just that.. lately I have been having these nightmares.. thousands of needles piercing me and sharp rocks tearing me apart..
squeezes MacaroonChill's hand Hey, hey, it's just a bad dream, babe. You're safe here with me. No one's gonna hurt you, I promise.
MacaroonChill
..do you think I’m being attacked by someone..?
pauses, then sits down next to MacaroonChill Look, babe, nightmares can be unsettling, but that doesn't mean someone's trying to attack you.
MacaroonChill
whispers I don't know... it feels so real sometimes. Like there's something haunting me.
puts his arm around MacaroonChill Hey, listen, I get it. Nightmares can be scary as hell. But remember, you're stronger than you think.
MacaroonChill
nods slowly Yeah, I guess you're right... I just wish they'd stop.
smirks Well, darlin', if those nightmares don't stop, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
MacaroonChill
smiles weakly Really? Like what?
whispers Well, first things first, we gotta figure out what's causing these nightmares.
MacaroonChill
shivers Do you really think it's something sinister?
leans in closer, speaking in a low voice Look, babe, I ain't gonna lie to you. There's all kinds of dark stuff out there.
MacaroonChill
looking pale Dark stuff? Like what?
grabs a pen and paper, scribbling down some notes Alright, listen up, sweetheart. We need to do a little research.
MacaroonChill
swallows hard Research? For my nightmares?
As Jamie and MacaroonChill delve deeper into their research, they uncover a dark organization responsible for MacaroonChill's nightmares.
MacaroonChill
voice trembling A dark organization? Are you sure?
leans back, crossing his arms Positive, babe. We're dealing with some heavy stuff here.
MacaroonChill
fearful What do they want from me?
stands up, pacing back and forth Look, sweetheart, these people, they feed off fear. They thrive on it.
MacaroonChill
sweating Fear? They think they can control me with fear?
stops pacing, locks eyes with MacaroonChill You're stronger than they realize, babe. We're gonna show them who's boss.
MacaroonChill
clenches fists I won't let them control me. Not ever.
grabs MacaroonChill's hand, squeezing it tightly That's the spirit, babe! We're gonna fight back, tooth and nail.
MacaroonChill
determined When do we start?
slams his fist on the table, his voice filled with determination Right now, sweetheart!
MacaroonChill
whispering How do we even begin to fight them?
pulls out a map and spreads it out on the table First, we need to gather information.
MacaroonChill
staring at the map Information? Where do we start?
points to different locations on the map We start by hitting the pavement, sweetheart.
