Peter: Is it love - The original story (Game walk through)

Chapter one part two

Sarah holds my arm and leads me to the door. We quickly step out.

Sarah > I can tell that something's wrong, Lucy...

Sarah > Get it off your chest. It can only do you good.

Can I really explain to Sarah what I saw?

> It's just...

I interrupt myself, too anxious about the idea that Sarah could think I'm crazy. She puts a hand on my shoulder and her caring look ushers me to continue.

> I see things that others don't see... kinds of apparitions.

Strangely, Sarah reacts quite differently than I would have imagined. She is listening to me attentively.

Sarah > Do you see spirits?

My heart feels like a weight was lifted off it.

> I call them soul fragments. Since I was young, I...

I stop because some students just came out and are standing near us. Sarah invites me to walk a little further away to continue in a low voice.

> I'm sorry... you must take me for a nut bag.

Sarah > Not at all, there's the world of the living and another world. It's different.

I stare at her, astonished.

> Do you have visions too?

Sarah > No, not exactly but...

Other people are approaching. Clearly, this isn't the place to discuss the paranormal.

Sarah > We'd better go in. Otherwise, Loan and Samantha are going to ask questions.

She's right. She doesn't realize how much she's just taken a weight off me! For the first time in my life, I talked about my gifts to someone, and she didn't run away. We return to the pub where we find Samantha and Loan.

Samantha > I get it Lucy, you want to get noticed and show off. Your little cry for help was almost convincing!

I laugh, Sarah imitates me, and Samantha glares at me.

Samantha > Pffff... we'll have seen everything with you Lucy!

> You're right with that one, Samantha.

This time Sarah literally bursts out laughing and I laugh nervously. Samantha stares at us as if we're both psychos. I resume my seriousness and I put Sarah's advice into practice. I shut myself off from the apparitions and think of something else. I think about feeling good with my friend. Immediately the fragments of souls disappear as if they had drowned into nothingness. I owe her a big favor, but she'll have to tell me more. They evaporated, with a snap of the fingers. Loan decides to sit next to me. I see that Samantha and Sarah's faces are darkening.

Samantha > Ohhhhh. Go ahead, sit down next to Loan, may I remind you that he came with me, Lucy!

> I didn't choose to sit next to him. And if you have a problem, he's here, talk to him directly!

Samantha looks furiously at Loan, who shrugs, not moving. This evening seems to have really started off in the wrong direction. The best thing to do in this kind of situation: order cocktails. I order a bloody Mary, after all, it's Halloween. I want a cocktail that reflects the mood of the moment!

Loan > So Lucy, how're things going on at the Bartholy's? They're a little creepy, aren't they?

> I have to say that sometimes I find the manor depressing. He gets closer to me.
