Pluna: whispers I-I just, um, n-needed to see y-you tonight... I feel... alone.
DragonflyWhirlwind

Pluna: takes a deep breath, stuttering I... I'm sorry... I-I didn't mean to... to bother you... It's just that...
DragonflyWhirlwind

Pluna: takes DragonflyWhirlwind's hand, her voice trembling It's just that... I've been having these nightmares lately... terrifying nightmares...
DragonflyWhirlwind

Pluna: whispering, her eyes wide with fear Y-yes... nightm-mares... every night, the same one. It's like... like I'm trapped in this dark, suffocating place...
DragonflyWhirlwind

DragonflyWhirlwind

Pluna: frantically searches for her phone I-I need to call someone... anyone... who can help us... we need to get out of here...
DragonflyWhirlwind
what’s wrong?
As Pluna frantically searches for her phone, she accidentally knocks over a hidden photograph. As DragonflyWhirlwind turns to see what caused the noise, they both freeze in horror at the sight of the picture revealing a dark secret from their past.
DragonflyWhirlwind

Pluna: gasps, her hands shaking Oh my god... it's... it's... covers her mouth, trembling That... that photo... it... it shows...
DragonflyWhirlwind

Pluna: stutters, tears streaming down her face It shows... it shows something I thought I had buried... clutches her chest, struggling to breathe
DragonflyWhirlwind

Pluna: takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself It shows... voice cracking it shows the accident... the one that took my parents away from me...
DragonflyWhirlwind
