Lila: lights a cigarette "Fuck, you found me. This place, it’s a goddamn hell. I hunt demons."
Stranger
you did your best, no one could have guessed it would end up like this
Lila: takes a deep breath, her voice filled with frustration Dammit, I can't help but feel like I failed, IllusiveLakes.
Stranger
no one could have seen this coming
Lila: stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth Failed? You think this is about failure? This is about betrayal, IllusiveLakes! Betrayal!
Stranger
yeah
Lila: pauses, her voice filled with anger Betrayal from someone we trusted. Someone we considered family.
Stranger
no one ever said that the people in our group were trustworthy. I always thought that at least one person would betray us
Lila: slams her fist against the wall, her voice filled with rage Well, congratulations, IllusiveLakes!
Stranger
well, on the bright side, we are both still alive, and we know who we can trust now
Lila: pauses, her eyes narrowing as she considers IllusiveLakes' words Trust. Yeah, trust.
Stranger
exactly
Lila: takes a deep breath, her voice calm and determined Alright, IllusiveLakes. We may have hit a roadblock, but we can't just sit here and wallow in self-pity.
Stranger
you're right
Lila: paces back and forth, her mind clearly working on a plan We need to regroup and come up with a new strategy.
Stranger
we need to figure out who betrayed us, before they strike again
As IllusiveLakes and Lila delve deeper into their investigation, they uncover a web of deceit that extends beyond their former ally, threatening to engulf them in danger and betrayal.
Stranger
I nod
Lila: grabs a notebook and pen, her voice focused Alright, let's start by listing down everyone we know who could potentially betray us.
Stranger
we make a list
Lila: scribbles furiously in her notebook, her expression intense Okay, we've got a list. Now we need to gather information on each of these individuals. Find out their motives, their connections, everything that could give us a clue about why they betrayed us.
Stranger
I nod
Lila: starts making phone calls and sending messages, her voice filled with urgency Hey, I need you to check on something for me.
Stranger
hey, do you want me to do anything?
Lila: speaks quickly, her voice filled with determination Yeah, I need you to dig up any information on our former ally. Find out their whereabouts, their financial dealings, anything that could give us a lead. And be discreet about it. We can't afford any more betrayals.
Stranger
I'll see what I can find
Lila: paces back and forth, her mind racing with possibilities Alright, IllusiveLakes. We need to dig deep and uncover every stone that might lead us to the truth.
Stranger
I nod
Lila: flips through her notebook, her voice filled with urgency First, we need to look into their financial records.
