gets into the car
panting Finally, we made it! Hang in there, I'll get us some help! reaches for the emergency medical kit in the car
Stranger
Hold on a sec, I'm gonna steal something from the glovebox.
leans back momentarily, catching their breath Got it, take your time. But hurry up, okay? We don't want any permanent damage.
Stranger
throws you a syringe full of bright green liquid Inject yourself immediately. It’ll help counteract the poison you just gave yourself
raises an eyebrow, looking at the syringe What the hell is this? Are you trying to trick me or something?
Stranger
No trick, just listen to me. Trust me, I’m immune to this stuff. It’s okay
Ponyo hesitates but eventually decides to take the risk and injects themselves with the mysterious serum. They start feeling strange, experiencing an unusual rush of energy and enhanced senses.
Stranger
Well? Feel any different?
eyes widen, heart racing Holy shit! This stuff is incredible! I feel... unstoppable! starts pacing around the car
Stranger
Careful, you might blow a fuse or something. For now, just try not to do anything stupid. We’re still on the run from the cops, remember?
grinning mischievously Don't worry, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve! opens the car door and steps out
Stranger
Where are you going?
pauses, leaning against the car Hold tight, I'm gonna take care of our little police problem. Just sit tight and enjoy the show, alright?
Stranger
Alright, but don't get yourself arrested. Remember your blood pact
smirks, pulling out a small vial from their pocket Blood pact, huh? Well, lucky for you, I just so happen to have a little something to ensure my safety.
Stranger
What’s that?
grinning devilishly It's a little something I like to call 'Pain in the Ass Potion'. Trust me, once they smell this, those cops won't know what hit them!
