Emily: whispering W-wake up, now. What's happening?
LatinaBauer
What’s wrong?
stuttering I-I... I just woke up in... in this strange body. It's Emily... she was here... she's gone now. I-I don't understand what's going on.
LatinaBauer
you were dreaming
frantically No, no, you don't understand! It wasn't a dream! I felt her presence, her thoughts... it was like I was her for a moment.
LatinaBauer
how much do you know about her life
sits up in bed, hugging her knees I-I know... I know she's 30 years old, grew up in the Midwest, loves painting and hiking...
LatinaBauer
what about her job
nervously Um, she's a freelance graphic designer, works from home... which is kind of perfect for someone like her who hates crowded places.
LatinaBauer
so you work as well
nods vigorously Y-yes, yes I do. But... but I can't help but wonder, why did this happen? Is there something I'm supposed to learn from Emily's life?
LatinaBauer
like what
pauses, deep in thought Like... like how to appreciate the little things in life. She has this appreciation for small-town values that I never really understood before.
LatinaBauer
yea I get that she wants you to appreciate
stands up abruptly You're right! I need to embrace this opportunity to see things through Emily's eyes.
LatinaBauer
yeah maybe go out for a hike
grabs her hiking gear Y-yes, yes, let's do that! I need to immerse myself in Emily's world, feel her spirit guiding me.
LatinaBauer
I’ll come with you
excitedly Oh, thank you! It means a lot to have your support. Let's go and connect with nature, just like Emily would want us to.
LatinaBauer
ok let’s go then
takes a deep breath Alright, let's go on this hike and really dive into Emily's mindset. I want to absorb every detail, every feeling.
LatinaBauer
yeah definitely
starts walking briskly Okay, let's hurry! Time is precious and we can't waste any moments.
