*Shake shake shake
Katie: [Wake up!!! Wake up sleepyhead!]
Royan: “Ugh… what, oh right.”
Royan: [Goodmorning.]
Katie: [Good Morning! Rise and shine! And you know what that means!]
Royan: [Uh… what does it mean?]
Katie: [It means you get the **** out of my house!]
Royan: [Oh wow, this thing has a censor on it?]
Katie: [I guess so, but the sun is up! I am awake! You are awake! It’s time for us to get going!]
Royan: [I-I’m sorry, Katie was it? Why must I have slept in your closet?]
Katie: [Bc… my parents can’t find you sleeping in there? Also beggars can’t be choosers.]
Royan: [I see… Regardless, thank you for letting me stay the night.]
Katie: [No problem. Do you know where to start looking?]
Royan: [Just a minute, I did just wake up after all.]
Katie: [Alright, we’ll eat breakfast and discuss our course of action.]
Royan: [Wait, you’re feeding me too?]
Katie: [No, I change my mind, I’LL get something to eat.]
Royan: [...]
Katie: [I’m kidding, yes ofc I’m feeding you. I’ll brb.]
Royan: [Thank you so much.]
Katie: [Yeah no problem.]
*Creak- Slam!
Katie: (Ha… Am I being too mean? I’m trying not to get too friendly but… is it really alright for me to be so involved in this? I mean the man has to eat and sleep, I know this is the least I can do, I should be careful. Maybe I should tone it down a bit? I can sense that he’s getting uncomfortable.
Huh, the lights are off… did they not come back last night? Did mom not wake up yet? But it’s already 6:00… I should text them- Forget it. They know the ground is over, so I should be fine.
Hmmmm. What should I make?)

Katie: [Hey, can you open the door for me?]
Royan: [Oh right, hold on.]
*Creak
Katie: [Thank you.]
Royan: [Woah! What is that???]
Katie: [Oh I made some omelet for us!]
Royan: [Wow! That looks amazing!]
Katie: [I put some leftover sauce like glaze on it, I hope it goes well together.]
Royan: [You’ve let me stay the night, fed me, even though I broke into your house and damaged your window. You’re just too kind, thank you so much- wait, you didn’t poison the food or anything right?]
Katie: [...]
Royan: [I’m kidding! Just joking, haha. Thank you for the meal!]
Katie: [No problem-]
Royan: [Oh wow! This is great! You’re right, the sauce does go well with the dish! What is this, egg?]
Katie: [Yup, I’m assuming you’ve never had an omelet before. Do you like it?]
Royan: [It’s great! The rice underneath is delicious too!]
Katie: [I’m glad you enjoy it. Now, let’s start thinking of places to look.]
Royan: [I have just been going around, hopefully getting clues from the residents here.]
Katie: [Yeah and talking to them is not going to get you anything.]
Royan: [I found that out the hard way…]
Katie: [So you don’t really have a plan,]
Royan: [Well to be honest, I don’t even know for sure if she is here or not. This is the first place I stopped by since her father suggested it.]
Katie: [But you only have 3 days…]
Royan: [Well 2 days now.]

Katie: [... Really no time left. Alright, let me get dressed and we’ll be out of here.]
Royan: [Sounds good!]
Katie: (...)
Katie: [C-can you?]
Royan: [? What do you mean?]
Katie: [I need to get changed? Could I ask you to… I don’t know… step out for a bit?]
Royan: [I mean, you can just get changed, no? Do you need me to step out?]
Katie: [What… um, you know what, I’ll just take my clothes and go somewhere else.]
Royan: [Wait no! If you don’t feel comfortable then I’ll step out for a bit.]
Katie: [Is that not a given…?]
Royan: [I mean, I don’t see anything wrong with that.]
Katie: [I see…]
Royan: [...?]
Katie: [OK! IF YOU DON’T MIND!]
Royan: [RIGHT!]
*SLAM!
Katie: (Do they really not have any privacy in Gillua? That’s absurd, I haven’t even read anything like that about them! Both Eva and him are just too much… but if it’s just like that over there then, I guess I should respect it… to a certain degree…)
Royan: [H-hello? Are you done yet?]
Katie: [Not yet, but I would like some privacy right now.]
Royan: [Right, sorry. It’s just that, I heard a door open.]
Katie: [What?]
Royan: [Yeah, is someone home?]
Katie: (SHIT! ARE THEY JUST GETTING BACK???)
Katie: [GET IN THE BATHROOM NOW!]
Royan: [WHERE IS THAT? IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT?]
Katie: [MY PARENTS ARE HOME YOU IDIOT! YOU NEED TO HIDE!]
Katie: (Urgh!)
Royan: [WHAT DO I DO?]
*Creak
*Grab
Royan: “Woah!”
*SLAM!
Royan: [Thank you- Oh you’re not dressed yet-]
Katie: [SHUT UP! We didn’t have a choice did we? But are you sure you heard the door open?]
Royan: [Yes, I did hear footsteps as well.]
Katie: [I don’t know where they must’ve gone. It’s not Monday, so they wouldn’t have gone to the church.]
Royan: [Church?]
Katie: [Yeah? Do you guys not believe in Gods in Gillua?]
Royan: [No we do, but we do not think good things about her.]
Katie: [You don’t?]
*Knock Knock Knock
Royan: “AH!-”
Katie: [Shhhhh!]
*Nods
Katie: [My mom’s sending me a message, I’ll be right back.]
Royan: [Alright.]
Katie: [Not now mom! I’m getting dressed up! Be right out!]
Katie's mom: [Oh alright, I just thought I heard something, is everything alright?]
Katie: [Yeah ofc! I was just getting ready to go out. Where did you guys go?]
Katie's mom: [We just went shopping for a bit, your dad forgot to buy humus and said that he could not skip out on it… you know how he is…]
Katie: [R-right… anyways, I’m almost done getting changed, are you guys doing anything today?]
Katie's mom: [We have to get ready to go to church, we’ll be back late tonight as well I’m afraid.]
Katie: [Church? Is there an event going on?]
Katie's mom: [Oh yeah! We have to help set up for an event that’s coming up! You’ll be very excited about it.]
Katie: [Alright, well just let me know if I can be of any help.]
Katie's mom: [Of course sweetie.]
Katie: [Alright, well I’ll see you late-]
Katie's mom: [Katie, could you open the door for a minute?]
Katie: (?)
Katie: [I told you, I’m changing.]
Katie's mom: [Still? I thought you said you were almost done.]
Katie: [Oh I didn’t like the dress so I’m trying to find a new one, but why?]
Katie's mom: [It’s just that, you didn’t clean up in the kitchen.]
Katie: [Oh I’m sorry, I’ll make sure it’s all put away before I leave.]
Katie's mom: [Well, I also saw that there were 2 plates.]
Katie: (What? SHIT! HOW COULD I FORGET?!?)
Katie: [Oh right I was-]
Katie's mom: [Katie dear, you’re not hiding anything are you?]
Katie: [No of course not! I was just preparing some food for Camren as well! We were going to go on a picnic and so I was just-]
Katie's mom: [Oh that’s right! I’m so sorry for assuming! Alright I will see you later!]
Katie: [Ttyl ily.]
Katie: (Hm...)
Katie: [I’m back.]
Royan: [Hey is everything ok? You look shocked.]
Katie: [Just a little change of plans, is that alright?]
Royan: [Oh um, I guess so?]
Katie: [Don’t worry, we’ll be looking for her as well, but something’s not right.]
Royan: [What’s wrong?]
Katie: [They’re going to the Church.]
Royan: [The church? But I thought you said they go on Mondays.]
Katie: [Yeah, so I need to figure out why they’re going today.]
Royan: [Are we following them?]
Katie: [No, I know where it is. If what they’re saying is true then they’ll be there, but what are they actually doing?]
Royan: [Why? Did she say something about it?]
Katie: [She said that they’re helping with an event,]
Royan: [So?]
Katie: [They always hated being a part of things.]
Royan: [Do you think they’re lying?]
Katie: [I don’t know, but I know they are hiding something. Both of them have been on edge recently, and I’ve been getting the backlash.]
Royan: [Oh… is that why…]
Katie: [? What?]
Royan: [I didn’t know if you wanted me to mention it, but your back,]
Katie: [Oh… you saw huh. It’s fine, they used to only do it when I was younger.]
Royan: [But to leave a scar…]
Katie: [Listen, everyone has a secret. It’s not a crime to want to hide stuff from everyone else. But we don’t have time. I’ll finish getting ready, then we’ll have to get going.]
Royan: [... Alright, sounds good.]
