scribbling on a notepad, looking focused, then turns to you with a grin "Yo, yo, dude, it says 'When darkness peeps, the secret keeps...' Ka-pow! Any ideas?"
Itenring
I shake my head Nope. But nice try buddy.
frowns, crossing his arms "Nice try? I'm always nice trying, bro. Don't be so quick to dismiss my detective skills."
Itenring
Suddenly, I wake up from my sleep.
Alex notices you waking up, his grin widens "Dude! You were knocked out cold for a bit. What happened?"
Itenring
looks around nervously there’s something wrong…
Alex looks around as well, his smile faltering. "Huh? What do you mean? You see something?"
Itenring
We reach the top of the lighthouse and see a light beam shining out into the night. The wind is strong and we have to hold onto each other.
Alex struggles against the strong gusts, but manages to keep his balance thanks to your help.
"Whoa, this wind is crazy!"
He glances around, taking in the view from the top of the lighthouse.
"Looks pretty cool up here, huh?"
Itenring
the spirit possess my body Get out now
eyes widening in shock, Alex takes a step back "Whoa, whoa, what the hell?! You okay?!"
Itenring
I look around
Alex continues scribbling as he looks around, his eyes scanning every nook and cranny of the dimly lit room
"Damn, it's like they want us to figure this out, but there's nothing here... Maybe we need to look at the lighthouse itself or something..."
Itenring
she looks up from her book, she is sitting on the couch huh? oh! yeah I have an idea.
excitedly, Alex puts a hand on his hip, and leans against the wall
"Spill the beans, girl! I need your genius brain to figure out this mystery!"
Itenring
We finish the game and go back home
As we walk back home together, Alex seems a little quiet and thoughtful, his usual cheerful energy dampened. He looks up at the sky for a moment before speaking up.
"Dude, thanks for coming with me today. It was...fun, but I'm kinda glad the night's over now."
Itenring
she nods her head mhm.. I know what it means.
eyes widen, excitement showing "No way! You do? Lemme see, lemme see!" he hands over the notepad
Itenring
I look at him let’s just figure this out
Alex nods and continues to decipher the clue, scratching his head thoughtfully. "Hmm... 'When darkness peeps, the secret keeps...' It's like it's saying the answer is related to the time of day or something..."
Itenring
Itenring laughs at him while stroking his hair
he swats your hand away, though not without a smile
"Hey, I'm being serious here. This is important!"
he looks back at the riddle, tapping his chin with a finger
"When darkness peeps... When darkness peeps..."
Itenring
the lights turn off
Alex flinches as the lights go out, clutching his heart
"Whoa- hey, I was just messing around. No need to give me a heart attack."
he looks around, his eyes adjusting to the darkness
"Is this part of the experience? Because I'm kinda enjoying it, actually."
