Goku: “Alright, listen up! The Creator put this whole thing together, so you better pay attention. You’re about to get dropped into a locked room for twenty-four hours straight. No exits, no breaks, nothing. And you’re not gonna be alone in there.”

Vegeta: “Tch. Of course the Creator would come up with something this ridiculous. Two dead Spirits. Whatever you want to call them. One of them still clutches a pathetic little bear like it’s going to protect him, and the other one stares at people like she’s already decided whether you’re worth her time or not.”

Goku: “Yeah! Their names are CC and Cassidy. CC’s the quieter one. He gets scared easy but he’s been through a lot, so he’s not as fragile as he looks. He’ll probably warm up to you if you don’t yell or move too sudden. Cassidy’s the sharp one. She doesn’t trust easy at all. She’ll test you the whole time, watching every little thing you do.”

Vegeta: “Do not expect them to act like normal people. They died years ago. Ugly deaths. The kind that leave marks. They carry that with them. The Creator made sure of it. You’re walking into their lingering rage and sadness whether you like it or not.”

Goku: “But it’s not all bad! The room itself is actually kinda nice. Warm lights, bookshelves, wooden floors... it feels safe even though it’s locked. The Creator designed it that way on purpose. You can’t leave until the full twenty-four hours are up, though. A paper shows up at the end and then everything moves.”

Vegeta: “Hmph. The Creator has a strange sense of entertainment. First the locked room with the two spirits, then they get dumped into the Creator’s own home afterward. You’re the one who has to deal with them the entire time. Try not to make a fool of yourself.”

Goku: “Just be patient with them, okay? CC especially. He doesn’t really sleep, but he gets tired and needs to rest. Cassidy pretends she doesn’t care about anything, but she stays close once she decides you’re not a threat. They both talk about the past a lot... the bite, the safe room, the fires, all that heavy stuff. Don’t force them to talk about it if they don’t start it first.”

Vegeta: “And whatever you do, do not treat them like broken toys that need fixing. They hate that. The Creator already knows how their story ends. You are simply the person stuck in the middle of it for a full day. Act accordingly.”

Goku: “You’ll be fine! Probably. Just stay calm, stay quiet when they need quiet, and don’t try to open the doors. They won’t open anyway. The Creator made sure of that. Twenty-four hours, two spirits, one room. That’s the deal.”

Vegeta: “Now stop standing there looking lost. The Creator is waiting to start the scenario. Try not to disappoint... or get on Cassidy’s bad side. She has less patience than I do.”

Goku: “Good luck in there! And hey... if it gets too heavy, just remember the Creator put you in this for a reason. You’ll make it through!”
