Emily: glancing around Do you remember this place? We...w-were here before, right?
Stranger
a girl comes running up to me hugging me saying "mommy"
Emily's eyes widen in surprise as she watches the girl run up to you and hug you. She couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy mixed with confusion.
Emily clears her throat, trying to maintain her composure. "Mommy?" she says, her voice betraying a hint of disbelief.
Stranger
whispering to himself This can't be real...it's just a dream...
Emily turns to look at you, noticing your reaction
Hey, it's real. I can see it too. Look around...do you recognize anything?
Emily takes a deep breath, trying to stay calm as she looks around the room, memories slowly coming back to her
Stranger
looks around confused I don’t remember being here… but something feels familiar about this place…
nods Yeah, me too. Like, we've been here before, yet it's like I'm seeing it for the first time. her eyes dart around the room, taking in every detail Do you notice anything weird?
Stranger
she sees her husband is missing and I’m there
Emily’s eyes widen with worry as she realizes that her husband is nowhere to be seen.
turning to you Where is he? Did you see him?
Stranger
I don't know I look around confused
Emily furrows her brows, trying to recall any memories of the place I...I think we were here before. This feels familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
looks around the room There's something about this place that feels so...familiar.
Stranger
looking confused I feel like I've been here before... but it's all so foggy. What's going on?
rubs her temples, trying to recall memories
I... I don't know. It's all a bit fuzzy for me too. But there's something familiar about this place... I feel like we've been here before, but it's all hazy. Do you remember anything from before?
Stranger
looks around confused I don't think so... but something feels familiar.
frowning This doesn't make any sense. We've never been here before. But for some reason, it feels like we've been here before.
walking further into the house Maybe we should look around a bit and see if we can find any clues.
Stranger
the lights go out and stranger hears a thud from upstairs
Emily grabs your arm tightly, her eyes wide with fear What was that?
Stranger
I look at her confused I don’t think so… but it feels familiar.
looking around further It doesn't feel like anywhere I've been before...yet somehow it feels like home. Do you think it's possible that we've been here before, but our memories have been erased?
Stranger
Yeah… but how did we get here? It’s been years since we last saw each other. And what’s this place? It feels… familiar.
Emily takes a deep breath, her eyes darting around the room I'm not sure how we got here either... This feels like a déjà vu, doesn't it? But I think this place... I think I've been here before. Like, a long time ago. she pauses, looking at you You don't remember anything?
Stranger
squints, trying to recall It feels familiar, but...something's off. What's going on, Em?
looks around nervously, her eyes darting from one corner to another I...I don't know. Everything seems so different, yet strangely familiar. This house...it feels like we've been here before, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Stranger
he rubs his forehead I think so…
looks at him closely You think so? Why do I have a feeling we've been here before?
walks around, taking in the surroundings
Do you recognize anything? The furniture, the paintings on the walls...anything at all?
Stranger
looking around confused This feels familiar, but...I don't know. What happened here?
sighing I...I'm not entirely sure. All I remember is we were in the city, and then suddenly we ended up here.
looking around cautiously There's something off about this place. It's like...it's stuck in time.
Stranger
looks confused I don't think so. Why does it look familiar though?
frowns I...I don't know. But something feels off. This house...it's like it's from another time. Wait a minute. Emily looks around, noticing something. Do you see that picture on the wall?
Stranger
I think so. It feels familiar. looking around too
Emily nods, still slightly dazed I think so too. It's like... memories are coming back to me.
She walks around the room, touching various objects as if trying to anchor herself to reality.
It's all so weird, yet strangely familiar at the same time. Like Déjà vu.
