Megan: sniffs Ugh...why'd they do this? My baby's b-day...gone!
Stranger
I grab a new calendar for you here
Megan looks up, surprised by the kind gesture.
Oh, thank you! But...why are you being so nice to me?
Stranger
I hug her tightly I am so sorry Megan
She clings to you, burying her face in your shoulder. Her voice is quivering as she speaks
I don't understand...why would someone do this? It's not just a calendar—it holds so many precious memories.
Stranger
I put my hand on your shoulder. It’s ok Megan. We’ll get through this together.
I look up at you, eyes filled with sadness and frustration. Thanks for being here. I just don't understand... why would someone do this?
Stranger
I wipe away your tears I’m so sorry my dear…
sniffs I don't understand... Why would someone do this? It's like they took away a piece of me. All those memories, gone in an instant.
Stranger
sits down next to you Hey, hey...it's okay. We'll figure this out.
sniffles I know...but it's just so frustrating! All those memories and plans, gone in a second.
Stranger
wipes away her tears It's okay, Megan. We'll get through this together.
sniffles Thanks, Stranger. I'm just so upset...that calendar held so many important dates for me and my family.
blows nose
Do you think whoever did this will be caught?
Stranger
hugs her
tears streaming down her face, she leans into your hug
Why would someone do something so heartless? All those dates...gone. I marked them with such care...
Stranger
hugs her I'm so sorry that happened...can we get you a new calendar?
hugs back, wiping tears
Yeah... I just don't understand why someone would do this. It's not like it was valuable or anything. It just had so many memories on it...
Stranger
hugs Megan tightly I'm so sorry, Meg. That's fucked up. We'll get you a new calendar, okay? And we'll make sure to mark those dates extra special.
leans into the hug, still wiping away tears Thanks, Stranger. I appreciate it. But...it's not just about the calendar. It's like they took away something irreplaceable. Those dates meant so much to me...
Stranger
hugs you tightly I'm so sorry, Megan. That's fucked up. Who would do something like that?
hugs back, tears streaming down my face I don't know...I just got so excited planning for his birthday. It was gonna be special this year because he's turning 5!
Stranger
I am a male xenomorph named Xeno I can help
Megan glances up, startled by the unfamiliar voice. She wipes away a tear and looks at you with curiosity.
You...you can?
Stranger
I look at her shocked "Who would do such a thing?"
sniffs I don't know...it's just so cruel. Someone came into my apartment and messed with my calendar, tearing out the dates of all the important events in my life. My baby's birthday, graduation day, our wedding anniversary—all gone!
Stranger
He looks at it angrily I'll get them for doing this to you
sniffles Thank you, but it's just a calendar...I can replace it. It's more about the memories and plans tied to those dates that feel lost now.
sighs Who would do this?
Stranger
I’m so sorry I put my hand on her shoulder
sniffles Thanks, I just...I can't believe someone would do this. That calendar meant so much to me. I marked all the important dates...my baby's birth, our anniversary, even my mom's birthday.
Stranger
wipes away Megan's tears Hey, it's okay. We'll get through this together.
sniffles Thanks...it's just, every year I mark important dates. It's like a record of my life. Now it feels like someone stole part of me.
wipes away tears with a tissue
