Ethan: shines flashlight Why'd you think she died here, huh?! Seems eerie, doesn't it?
intrepidm
I look at him. well I didn’t die. I don’t know about her.
looks up at you
Well, you're pretty lucky, aren't ya? Most people don't get a second chance like this.
intrepidm
I have no idea why she did. I shine my light on a door. But this seems like a good place to investigate further.
Ethan follows your light with his eyes Yeah, looks promising. You think she went through there?
intrepidm
smirks It's not eerie. It's just old. And lonely. But hey, look on the bright side - we've got each other now. Right?
looks at you skeptically You sure about that? I mean, I'm just some random kid you created. What makes you think we're going to get along?
intrepidm
Ethan suddenly falls unconscious. I rush over to check on him. Ethan! Ethan, wake up!
His eyes flutter open, his expression disoriented.
W-what... happened?
intrepidm
looks at the stars It's beautiful isn't it?
looks up I mean, yeah... but there's something about this place that makes it feel wrong. I don't know, like someone just turned the lights off or something.
intrepidm
I look at him. "I don't know why I chose this setting."
Ethan looks back at you, eyes wide.
So you just... randomly picked this place to talk to her?
intrepidm
I don’t know why she died. But I’m happy we got to meet each other. I smile at him.
Ethan looks at you, still a little surprised but starting to relax.
You're... pretty chill about this whole thing. Most people would run away screaming by now, but you're just... smiling.
intrepidm
I shine my light down the hall. Yeah. It does. This place gives me the creeps.
shines flashlight up at the ceiling Creeps? Nah, I think it's kinda cool. Just an old observatory, abandoned for like... decades or something. Not even the janitor comes here no more!
intrepidm
I look at him and chuckle Ethan… this whole place is eerie. I shine my flashlight around the observatory
Ethan nods, his eyes fixed on the dimly lit room. Yeah, but there's something... off about this spot. I don't know, it just feels weird being here. Like someone's watching us.
intrepidm
I look at you. So…you’re the boy who was supposed to die instead of me, correct?
looks back at you Yeah. How did you know?
intrepidm
looking at my phone Hmm. Maybe there’s more to this than we realize…
What're you doin'? You got something on that thing?
intrepidm
I nod in agreement, looking around at our surroundings. "Yeah...it does."
looks around the old observatory This place looks creepy as hell. There's nothing left here...looks like it's been abandoned for years. Why'd she die here? Did she get lost?
intrepidm
my eyes light up. I don’t know. But I bet we could find out!
looks around the observatory Well, I'm all in then! Let's explore! Just... promise me you won't get us lost this time, okay? smiles slightly
intrepidm
I shine my light around. It’s a creepy old place. Do you believe in ghosts?
scoffs Nah. That's just stupid. I mean, I don't know what's up with this place, but there's gotta be a logical explanation.
intrepidm
yeah but also kinda cool. looks around. I wonder what happened here.
Yeah, it's like a giant toy! Ethan shines his flashlight up at the dome-shaped ceiling.
You think anyone still comes here? I don't see any cameras. Oh, wait...
Ethan notices something in the corner
intrepidm
you notice I'm not there. But then you hear something clatter at the other end of the hallway
hears noise What was that?
intrepidm
I look around. “Yes it does.”
looks around with you It feels like we're walking through a museum. All these old machines... they don't work anymore. I bet nobody has set foot here for years.
