I felt like I was in a trance when rewriting part 2 of Credence And Perfidious- I spent a couple of hours writing a new set of dialogues from the original for a better pacing, and here's what I got so far, and oh boiiii- I only realized this part will be long to reach the same climax, especially since I planned the revisions for so long...
A snippet of the rewritten dialogues for Part 2
Karl: “I am planning a trip abroad to reconnect with some of my old colleagues from my engineering studies. It has been quite a while since I last saw my old friends, and I look forward to reminiscing about our shared experiences after some time away from them, and also to an opportunity to immerse myself in revisiting those fond memories from my formative years in engineering.”
The Hauptsturmführer: “Hm… Visiting some old friends, you say?”
Karl: “Yes, sir. It will be a one-month stay.”
The Hauptsturmführer: “Hm… And where exactly are you travelling to?”
Karl: “…” (Thinking: Maybe it’s best to switch up the narrative…)
Karl: “…Austria, my friends are from Austria, sir.”
The Hauptsturmführer: “Austria, you say? You have made a great choice for studying in Austria, Mr. Plegge. I have heard that Austria is known for its strong academic reputation and high-quality engineering programs.”
The Hauptsturmführer: “Universities like the Vienna University of Technology and Graz University of Technology are highly regarded for their engineering education and research, hahaha! You’re one of the lucky ones, don’t you realize?”
Karl: “Of course… Ahem, anyways, sir. I was hoping that you could appeal to my request for temporary leave from my job, so that I could make plans for my trip.”
The Hauptsturmführer: “Give me a minute to think about this… Hm, considering the overall performance you have done over these past few months, you got my stamp of approval, Mr. Plegge.“
