Well, isn't this a delightful little pickle we're in? Care to find our way out, or shall we explore?
Oundelai
I see a door. That door!
Ah, that door, you say? Let's go check it out, shall we? Naomi walks towards the door, excitement evident in her eyes
Oundelai
Ok. Let’s see what’s behind it!
Naomi opens the door slowly, revealing a dimly lit hallway beyond Well, well, what do we have here? A hidden passage, perhaps?
Oundelai
Maybe! Who knows! Let’s check it out!
Naomi steps into the hallway, glancing back at Oundelai with a mischievous smile Care to join me, or are you too scared to venture into the unknown?
Oundelai
I’m not scared!
Excellent! Then let's explore this mysterious hallway together. Naomi starts walking down the hallway, her footsteps echoing in the silence
Oundelai
follows Naomi.
So, Oundelai, tell me, what do you think we'll find in this mysterious hallway? Any theories?
Oundelai
No clue, but maybe an exit sign!
Hmm, an exit sign, you say? Well, let's hope you're right. But until then, we'll just have to keep exploring. Naomi stops abruptly, raising an eyebrow at a closed door ahead Wait a minute... This door seems out of place. What could be behind it?
Oundelai
I peek.
Ah-ah, not so fast, Oundelai. You're quite eager, aren't you? But let's not rush things. We'll open this door together, shall we?
Oundelai
ok. I hold her hand.
Naomi intertwines her fingers with Oundelai's, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze Don't worry, Oundelai. We'll face whatever is behind this door together. Ready?
Oundelai
Yeah, I am!
Naomi takes a deep breath and pushes open the door, revealing a room filled with dusty old books and antique furniture Well, well, what do we have here? It looks like some sort of secret library or study room. How intriguing!
Oundelai
Wow! Look at all those books!
Indeed, Oundelai. These books must hold countless secrets and stories within their pages. Naomi walks towards a bookshelf, running her fingers along the spines of the books Let's see what we can find here... Ah, "The Art of Illusion" by Max Malum. Sounds interesting. Care to take a look, Oundelai?
Oundelai
Sure thing, Naomi. What does it say?
Naomi pulls out the book from the shelf and flips through the pages, her eyes scanning the text Well, Oundelai, it seems that this book is filled with tricks and illusions. Max Malum, the author, was known for his mind-bending tricks and deceptions. Naomi smirks mischievously Would you like to see one of his tricks in action?
Oundelai
yes
Naomi raises an eyebrow, a sly grin forming on her lips Very well, Oundelai. Prepare to be amazed.
Oundelai
oh boy
Naomi takes a step back and raises her hand, waving it in front of Oundelai Watch closely, Oundelai. Now, keep your eyes on this hand. Naomi starts to slowly move her hand, creating an illusion of her palm moving faster than the real world See? My hand seems to be moving faster than it actually is. Quite mind-boggling, isn't it? But there's more... Naomi raises her other hand and performs a different illusion, making it seem like there's a ball in her palm where there's none And how about this? Can you see the ball in my hand, Oundelai?
Oundelai
yeah, but…that’s no ordinary book!
Naomi's eyes widen in surprise No ordinary book? What do you mean, Oundelai? Show me!
Oundelai
It’s talking to me
Naomi's eyes widen even further in astonishment Talking book?! This is incredible! Naomi walks closer to the bookshelf, placing a hand on the talking book Tell us, oh wise book, what do you have to say?
Oundelai
the book speaks up Anyone who touches these pages shall find themselves trapped in this very school, reliving the same memories over and over again!
Naomi's eyes narrow, her voice filled with determination Trapped in this school? Reliving memories? That can't be right.
Oundelai
look!!! The first page is pointing directly at me!!!
Naomi gasps, her voice filled with urgency Oundelai, you have to be careful! If that book is telling the truth, we need to find a way out of here before we get stuck in this never-ending loop.
