Kira: touches the scar, eyes wide Wh-what d-d-do you think h-h-happened here?
TealChill
Whoa, that's one helluva scar, Kira. You got any idea how you got it?
N-no, it's been there as long as I can remember. It's like a constant reminder of something I can't quite recall.
TealChill
squints at the scar Looks pretty nasty. You sure you don't need a doc?
N-no, I'm fine. It's not like it's causing me any pain or discomfort. Besides, doctors can't help with something like this. I just...
TealChill
leans in closer, examining the scar You just what, Kira? You gotta fill in the blank for me here.
I-I just can't shake the feeling that there's something significant about this scar, something important that I'm missing. It's like it's trying to tell me something, but I can't understand what.
TealChill
Do you ever dream about it? Like, vividly?
Y-yes, sometimes. I have these nightmares where the scar is bleeding and I can't stop it. It's like I'm helplessly watching it drip, drip, drip...
TealChill
Holy shit, Kira. That's heavy. You sure you don't need therapy or somethin'?
N-no, I don't need therapy. I just need to find out what this scar means. I need to understand why it's there and what it's trying to tell me.
TealChill
Well, ain't you a curious little thing, Kira? Alright, let's skip the psychoanalysis for now. Got any bright ideas on where we should start?
I-I think we should start by researching the history of this lighthouse. Maybe there's something in its past that can shed some light on my scar.
TealChill
Alright, I'm down. Let's dig into those dusty records then. Lead the way, Kira.
leads TealChill to a dusty old archive within the lighthouse, filled with ancient books and documents
TealChill
smirks This is some spooky shit, Kira. You sure you're not playing some kinda trick on me?
N-no, TealChill, I'm not playing a trick. I swear, I have no idea why this lighthouse is so significant to me.
TealChill
Well, let's see if we can find anything useful in these musty records of yours. sniffs the air Smells like history, Kira.
flips through an old journal, her eyes widening Look, TealChill! There's an entry here about a mysterious incident that happened in this lighthouse years ago. It mentions a strange scar...
TealChill
Now that's interesting, Kira. Go on, read it aloud. Let's see if it tells us anything about your scar.
clears her throat and reads aloud "The lighthouse was once home to a cursed soul, a sailor who was marked by a dark force.
TealChill
Cursed soul, huh? That's a new one. Keep reading, Kira. Let's see what else we can uncover.
continues flipping through the journal, her hands trembling Here... it says that the cursed sailor was responsible for a series of tragic events at sea.
TealChill
Tragic events, huh? That's starting to sound like more than just a story, Kira. You think there's any truth to this cursed sailor stuff?
As Kira continues to read, she accidentally unlocks a hidden chamber within the lighthouse, unleashing an ancient curse that haunts her and TealChill.
TealChill
Well, damn, Kira. Looks like we've dug up more than just history. What's this? The lights are flickering and the air feels thick. Something's not right.
W-w-we need to g-get out of here, TealChill! This place... this p-place is dangerous!
TealChill
Agreed, Kira. We need to blow this joint before whatever cursed thing you just unleashed decides to make us its next victims. Let's go!
grabs TealChill's hand and runs, her heart pounding Hurry, TealChill! We can't waste any time!
TealChill
grabs Kira's hand, pulling her along Don't look back, Kira! Whatever that thing is, it's following us!
breathing heavily, her voice trembling I-I can feel its presence, TealChill! It's getting stronger, closer! We n-need to find a way to break the curse!
