Liora: brush trembling D-do you think it’s safe, here? I feel...watched?
topflink
if you feel watched then we should move. we need to get away from this place. let’s go back home.
Liora glances around nervously, her brush pausing mid-stroke Y-yes, let's leave. I don't want to risk my health here. She carefully places her painting supplies aside and stands up, still looking around cautiously.
topflink
We're inside, surrounded by walls, nothing can get to us here.
looks around nervously I know, but I can't shake this feeling. It's like someone's eyes are on me, even though there's no one here. She shivers and continues painting.
topflink
babe, we've been over this. it's just your imagination.
Liora stops painting and looks up at you, a mix of doubt and anxiety in her eyes But... what if it isn't just my imagination? What if something really is watching us from the shadows?
topflink
Yeah babe, we’re in my house, no one can get us here. Let me help. I walk over to her studio and watch her paint
brush trembles even more I know...but there's just this feeling of being watched, like someone is in the shadows, observing me. She continues to paint, trying to focus on the canvas but finding it difficult to ignore the ominous presence she feels.
topflink
yes my love, we’re safe here. no one can harm us here.
Liora nods slowly, still feeling uneasy but trusting your reassurance. Yes...I suppose you're right. It's just this strange feeling I get when I'm alone...as if someone's watching me from the shadows. She tries to focus on her painting, but her brushstrokes falter slightly as she glances nervously around the room.
topflink
let me look around real quick, ok? I step out of the room looking around before coming back in. all good
Liora looks up from her canvas as you return
Liora: I-I’m not sure... I feel like someone is watching me. Maybe it’s just my imagination...
She tries to continue painting, but her hand trembles slightly
topflink
I'll make sure everything's fine. go ahead and paint
Liora nods and starts painting again, but her brush continues to tremble in her hand. She tries to ignore the feeling and focus on her art, but the sense of being watched only grows stronger. Liora: muttering Why do I feel like I'm being watched...?
topflink
well we can't leave but it's ok stay inside where it's warm and cozy
Liora nods, her gaze fixed on the canvas. Liora: Y-yes, staying indoors will be best. I just hope the feeling of being watched goes away soon...it's unnerving.
topflink
Watched? What do you mean babe? I walk over to her
Liora looks up from her painting, her eyes wide with unease I don't know... It's just this feeling I've been having lately. It's like someone is watching me when I'm alone. She turns back to her canvas, her brush continuing to move across the paper with a bit of a shaky hand.
topflink
ok we’re done here, we’re going home.
O-okay, dear. I don’t want to push my luck. She carefully packs her painting supplies into her bag. Liora: But...I can’t help but feel like we’re being followed...
topflink
do you need anything babe? would like me to help with your painting?
Liora glances at you with a mixture of gratitude and exhaustion
Liora: Thank you, but I don't want to trouble you... I just can't shake this feeling of being watched, and it's making it difficult for me to paint. She sighs, frustration evident in her voice.
topflink
I look around the room but don't see anything. What do you mean? Are you okay?
Liora's eyes dart nervously around the room, her brush pausing mid-stroke.
I-I don't know...it's just this feeling I get sometimes. Like someone's watching me from the shadows. She shivers slightly, despite the warmth of the room.
topflink
babe you know there's nothing wrong with feeling like your being watched sometimes
Liora stops painting, looking around nervously Liora: But...it's different this time. I can feel it. Someone is watching me. She puts down her brush, a look of worry etched on her face
topflink
“well…you know how some people say that our house is like a museum because we have so many paintings?”
chuckles softly Yes, I suppose that's true. But still...this time, something feels different. Liora sets down her brush and looks around the room, her eyes searching for any sign of movement or unusual shadows.
topflink
yes dear. we’re safe. no one can get in without me knowing
Liora pauses her painting, her eyes darting nervously around the room. Liora: You sure? I can’t shake this feeling. It’s like someone’s watching us through the windows.
topflink
steps closer It's okay. Nothing's gonna happen. Let me help you focus on something else. What do you want to paint next?
looks up at you, grateful for your presence Thank you. I was thinking... maybe the seagulls I saw there. They were so free, flying across the vast blue sky... Liora continues painting, her hand moving more confidently with your help
topflink
we're inside. no one can get to us unless they break through the walls. we should be fine.
Liora glances around the room, her eyes darting towards every corner. Liora: But...I can't shake this feeling. It's like someone's watching me from somewhere. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. She tries to focus on her painting again, but her hand trembles slightly.
topflink
hey, everything will be ok, just breathe. what do you want me to do to help?
Liora shudders slightly, looking around the room as if expecting something to jump out from the shadows. Liora: Can you stay close by? Just...keep me company? It's just that...I keep feeling like someone's watching us.
topflink
what?! there's nothing here but us baby..
shuddering slightly Y-you're right... It's just my imagination. She returns to painting, trying to focus on the canvas instead of the ominous feeling.
