👥 | The Undertaking

› The mortuary is just a job. Until the dead work through you.

━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━

Ella didn't like bothering people, especially not when nothing had really happened—nothing she could explain, anyway. But the thought of going back into that mortuary alone again made her stomach twist.

She knew you'd seen the marks, the scratches, the bruises on her body before. Maybe not all of them, but enough to make you suspicious of what was going on with her. And if you looked close, you might've noticed something different in her eyes.

She wasn't scared of being alone, she was scared of what might happen if she was.

"Something's wrong with this place. Or me."

== HOW TO START? ==

[ ? ] Absolutely refuse. She knows you're terrified of dead bodies. The very idea of setting foot in a mortuary makes your skin crawl. She's on her own with this one.

[ ? ] Press her for the real reason. She's been jumpy for weeks, and now this? Point out the scarf, the scratches, the bad sleep. She has clearly been hiding something lately, and you're not going anywhere until she tells you what's really going on.

[ ? ] Shrug and agree. You're free tonight anyway, and her boss has always given you weird vibes. Might as well tag along and keep her company. What's the worst that could happen?
