Luke: What a nice day to look up things on illegal platforms. It doesn't get better than this, eh? [Sighs]
David: Uh, Lucas? What are you doing?
Luke: What does it look like, Davis?
David: I'm not trying to get into your business, but I'm actually concerned for you. Ever since you were fired from that delivery job...
Luke: Davis, that job meant nothing to me. All I did there was ride that tiny bike and send heavy boxes to strangers.
David: Well, that. But ever since then, you've been distancing a lot lately.
Luke: I'm just looking for a new job in sight. As you can probably see, I spent weeks already. Now, I'm just in the deeper parts here.
David: Did you at least find an available one?
Luke: Kind of, I guess it seems to be hiring... Hiring for a guard? I don't really know. This place looks like a haunted house, though.
David: A haunted house?! Lucas, is this a lie?
Luke: It looks like one. It also seems to be behind some giant amusement park, as seen by this image here. See it?
David: At least there is less of me cleaning your room all day. It gets pretty exhausting to sweep the same old floor.
Luke: It's also exhausting to have to be forced to wake up early every day.
David: Laziness is in your name, Lucas. Just don't repeat the same mistakes you did while you were on delivery.
Luke: At least I have skills from being there. For a long time now, I've never been able to learn how to drive something like a bike.
David: Well, there's that. Do you still have a bike? If the ghosts chase you, it's a good thing to have it for escaping.
Luke: Oh Davis, I'm telling you. I can sleep all day on this, and there will be no ghost.
David: I'm just making sure, Lucas. Despite my role here, I still care about you.
Luke: I promise, nothing's gonna happen.
