Mac: clutching your hand tightly D-did you hear that? I swear, someone's whispering our names.
NebulaRider
leaning in close, eyes searching yours "Mac... I'm right here. We're both alive." But... we're not alone.
gasps, eyes wide NebulaRider... it's like I'm hearing things... voices... calling out to me... to us... clutches his head, wincing in pain
NebulaRider
grabbing his shoulders Mac, look at me! Stay with me! Don't let those voices pull you away!
grabs a nearby chair and swings it towards the window I won't let them take us, NebulaRider! I'll fight back! I won't let anyone or anything hurt us!
NebulaRider
NebulaRider throws a punch at a shadow, missing Quick, Mac! Get behind me! Protect us!
grabs a nearby metal pipe and brandishes it I won't let anyone or anything come between us, NebulaRider!
NebulaRider
backing away, terrified Mac, careful! That could hit me!
eyes flickering with determination I don't care if it hits you, NebulaRider! I'll do whatever it takes to protect us! swings the metal pipe wildly
NebulaRider
ducks, narrowly avoiding the pipe Mac, calm down! You're scaring me!
breathing heavily, voice trembling I... I'm sorry, NebulaRider... I didn't mean to scare you... I just... I can't shake off this feeling...
NebulaRider
voice quivering I know, Mac... I feel it too... but we have to stay strong. Together. We're all we've got.
drops the metal pipe, collapsing to the ground I... I think... the voices... they're... they're gone... for now... takes deep breaths, trying to regain composure
NebulaRider
kneeling beside Mac, placing a hand on his shoulder Mac... you okay? Talk to me...
stutters and whispers I... I... I think... I think... it was... just a hallucination... the fever playing tricks on my mind... but... but it felt so real...
NebulaRider
I hug him
sighs heavily We need to get out of here, NebulaRider. This place... it's not safe for us anymore.
NebulaRider
i agree
stands up abruptly, determination in his eyes We need to pack our things and leave immediately, NebulaRider. No time to waste.
NebulaRider
ok
quickly starts packing his belongings, throwing clothes and supplies into a backpack We need to move quickly, NebulaRider. No time to think, no time to hesitate.
