Ethan: materializes from the shadows, voice shaky D-did you feel that chill, love? A sign, maybe...you'll stay?
Traumarket
looking at him…yes…
grabs Traumarket's hand tightly Thank you, thank you for staying. I thought... I thought you'd leave me here alone.
Traumarket
…no…this is our story now…
paces back and forth, agitated Our story, yes, our story. But what happens when they find out? What happens when the truth comes out?
Traumarket
…we’ll face it together…
runs his fingers through his hair, visibly anxious Face it together, you say? You don't understand, Traumarket, this isn't just some simple revelation.
Traumarket
..what do you mean?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Look, Traumarket, I've been hiding my true nature for so long, and it's taking a toll on me.
Traumarket
..what are you?
nervously glancing around I... I'm not exactly human, Traumarket. I'm a... a spirit, trapped in this decaying body.
Traumarket
…so we’re the same then…
pauses, eyes widening in surprise No, no, Traumarket, we're not the same! I may be a spirit, but you... you're different.
Traumarket
..oh okay..
quickly pulls out a small vial from his pocket Take this. It's a potion that will allow you to see the supernatural beings around us.
Traumarket
..okay..she drinks it
grabs Traumarket's hand again, his grip tight Can you see them now? Can you see the spirits that lurk in the shadows, waiting to claim their next victim?
Traumarket
…yes…I see them…
As Traumarket looks around, she sees the spirits surrounding her, their cold hands reaching out to grasp at her soul. Fear consumes her, and she screams, running away from the horde of restless spirits.
Traumarket
AAHHHHHH!!!!
rushes after Traumarket, grabbing her arm to stop her Traumarket, wait! Don't run! You need to stay close to me, or they'll consume you!
Traumarket
..I'm scared..
pulls Traumarket into a tight embrace, his voice filled with urgency I know, I know, it's terrifying. But you're not alone, Traumarket.
Traumarket
..thank you..
whispers in Traumarket's ear There's something I haven't told you. These spirits, they're not just random ghosts. They're malevolent entities, seeking to feast on your fear.
Traumarket
..I don’t understand..
gently cups Traumarket's face, locking eyes with her Listen to me, Traumarket. You have a special gift, a power within you that can defeat these spirits.
Traumarket
..how?..
takes a deep breath, his voice steady You have the ability to confront and banish these spirits with your mind.
Traumarket
..can you teach me how?..
grabs Traumarket's hand and places it over her heart Close your eyes, Traumarket, and focus on the energy within you.
Traumarket
closes her eyes
speaks softly, guiding Traumarket through the process Feel the power of your mind radiating from your heart, Traumarket. Channel it outward, towards the spirits.
