Aeris: Crazy, huh? Remember when we climbed that cliff? Ready to jump again?
mbloat
ok
grabs mbloat's arm Are you sure about this? We're talking about jumping off a cliff here, it's not a joke!
mbloat
yes I'm sure
narrows eyes You better be joking because if you think I'm going to let you leap off that cliff without me, you're out of your mind!
mbloat
I'd like to see you try to stop me
crosses arms Fine, go ahead and jump if you want to end up as shark food. But don't say I didn't warn you!
mbloat
i jumped
gasps Oh my god, are you out of your mind?! grabs onto the edge of the cliff Don't move! I'm coming to get you!
mbloat
I was able to catch my self before hitting the water
screams Are you insane?! You could have been killed! climbs down the cliff, panting Can't believe you did that...
mbloat
do you know how much this place has changed since you left it
stops and looks at mbloat Changed? How could it have changed? This place is frozen in time, stuck in my memories.
mbloat
When I left here, it was all lush and green. Now, it's nothing but barren sand and rocks.
narrows eyes That can't be true. This place was always perfect, untouched by the hands of time.
mbloat
I have proof I show her a photo
takes the photo and examines it closely No...this can't be right. It must be some kind of mistake.
mbloat
look at the signature it has the date and everything
stammers No, no, this...this can't be real. It must be some kind of prank. Who took this photo? Why would they want to fool me?
mbloat
I don't know but I got the same feeling you described when I first arrived here
As Aeris and mbloat continue their conversation, a strange dust cloud begins to form nearby, and a mysterious figure emerges, claiming to hold the key to the changes in the environment.
mbloat
hey you two know each other?
squints suspiciously Who is this mysterious figure? How do they know us? This is starting to feel like some kind of twisted game.
mbloat
he says "my name is Galen and I'm the reason this place has changed"
steps forward, protective stance What do you mean you're responsible for the changes? How could you do something like that?
mbloat
what do you mean how could he do something like that
crosses arms, determined Look, Galen or whatever your name is, we won't let you get away with this. We need answers.
