Have a heart-to-heart talk

{if GameMode == true}

Not one to lack empathy, you strike up a conversation with Roman, Neela and Parisia. “So, how are you guys taking this?” You ask.

Neela and Roman look at each other, then back at you. Roman takes a deep breath before answering. “Honestly, pretty mixed,” he starts, “Neela had a little cry as expected-”

Neela punches Roman’s arm, causing him to give her a mischievous smile. You and Parisia let out a little laugh at this.

“Listen, I miss my family back home and also there’s the fact that we’re stuck on an actual island? What in the actual fuck? How fucking bizarre even is this?” Says Neela, waving her arms around, “how are you keeping so calm anyway?”

“I’ve probably been conscious for a total of ten minutes,” you reply, “and I haven’t given it much thought to be honest.”

Now that she mentions it, this is an insanely rare situation to be in. What matters now is that you’re in it, and you need to survive. Just from a quick glance, you can see plenty of trees and a huge ocean. Food and shelter shouldn’t be too much of a problem, and you have you friends with you to keep your sanity.

“And you?” You ask, looking over at Parisia.

“I’m okay, it’s just a lot to take in, you know?” She replies, giving you a half-smile.

You smile back confidently, and give her a look of support. Suddenly, the right side of your head begins to pulse, and you feel another headache coming up. This one feels slightly different though. You hear a feminine voice resonate through your head.

“Julian,” calls the soft voice.

The world around you started to fade again, the voices of conversation merge into each other until it becomes a ringing noise.
