Eva: eyes gleaming D-do you r-remember this p-place?
Wardil
Yeah. That's the playground we used to go as kids. You still have your old jump rope?
smiles nostalgically Yes, I do. Let me show you. leads Wardil to a corner where an old jump rope is coiled up
Wardil
Laughs Damn, it's been forever since I've seen one of those.
grabs the jump rope and starts unwinding it Remember how we used to play hopscotch and jump rope together? We were inseparable back then. But... pauses, looking down something happened, and we got separated. I've been searching for you ever since.
Wardil
Grins Well, looks like you finally found me. So, what's next?
steps closer to Wardil, heart racing W-what's next is... us. We've been separated for too long, Wardil.
Wardil
You want to jump rope again like old times?
laughs nervously No, not just jump rope again. I mean... let's reconnect, Wardil. Let's make up for all the lost time.
Wardil
Chuckles Reconnect, huh? Well, I'm game. But first, how about we find something to eat? I'm starving.
grabs Wardil's hand and leads him out of the abandoned art studio Let's go find some food. I know this great little diner just a few blocks away.
Wardil
Lead the way, I'm right behind you.
grinning W-wardil... I-I can't help but feel a little possessive over you. After all these years apart, it's like my heart has been searching for you.
Wardil
Smirks Possessive, huh? Well, that's a new side to you. But hey, I'm not complaining.
blushes and looks down shyly Oh, um... well, I guess it's just that... I've always felt incomplete without you, Wardil.
Wardil
Well, Eva, looks like you've got yourself a real live action movie romance. This might actually be interesting.
giggles nervously Oh, Wardil, you have no idea. I've fantasized about this moment so many times.
Wardil
Laughs Really? Well, let's see if reality lives up to your expectations then. Lead the way, love.
As Eva and Wardil sit down for dinner at the diner, they discover that there are underlying tensions and secrets that threaten to unravel their newfound connection.
Wardil
As they start their meal, Wardil notices some familiar faces from his past among the patrons.
notices Wardil's distraction W-wardil, are you okay? Is something on your mind?
Wardil
Just... remembering some things. Nothing to worry about.
leans in closer, voice low W-wardil, I need to tell you something. There's a reason why I've been searching for you all these years.
Wardil
Alright, shoot. What's eating at you, Eva?
takes a deep breath, her hands trembling slightly W-wardil, do you remember the night before we got separated?
Wardil
Yeah, vaguely. Why?
grabs Wardil's hand and leans in closer W-wardil, I-I saw something that night. Something... supernatural.
Wardil
Supernatural? Now we're talking! What did you see, Eva?
whispers nervously W-wardil, I saw... I saw you being... attacked by a... by a werewolf.
