What do you do? Will you listen to Trish's explanation? Or will you use the pen on her?
Let her explain.
"Ok then..." you sighed still pointing pen at Trish, "Come on. Dress up"- you left the bathroom, closing the door behind yourself.
After a few seconds Trish emerges from the bathroom in her casual attire. You point the pen at her and begin the interrogation.
"So... Explain yourself. Why the Hunt's family is just a bunch of skins and you take the shower in their house as if nothing is out of ordinary?" you said with your hands shaking from the mix of anger and fear, "TELL ME!" you shouted, desperate to know why Trish did that to them, to Jessica.
She jumps from your sudden scream but still stands still with her head lowered in expression of guilt or something that seems to the guilt.
"Yes, you should know." She breathes heavily trying to form her speech while you keep drilling her with your stern gaze. "This morning.... I found these pens.... I wondered if they worked the way the manual described and decided to go to Jessica and figure out with her.... As I arrived, we discussed the probability of such thing to exist so we didn't think much of it. We fidgeted one pen in our hands until it slipped out my hands and it shotted Jessica. In the blink of an eye I saw her body became hollow like a punctured balloon. First I was in shock.... Then... It made me think that the manual didn't lie. So I tried to wear Jessica for a bit. It was.... amazing. I could feel her body become mine, her curves, her voice.... And it made me think. I could be her just for you. I know you love her, but.... I love you too. We could've lived happily, all of us being a little bit strange, yet joyful family. And I could not let such chance slip away...." Trish silences for a bit, blushing rapidly from her confession of love for David. "As.... for the other Hunt's.... They kept coming home one by the other and I couldn't let them know the truth. Don't worry, all of them are fine they can be brought back to normal."
Taken aback from such confession you pause, trying to figure out what you just heard, you stumble backwards from Trish, still pointing pen at her. This is wild. Although it's uneasy to be defensive against Trish after confession, still it's wrong to impersonate other girl that you love. Or is it? It's getting really complicated for you to choose what to do. On one hand you can't let Trish get away with it, on the other... it's kind of exciting just by mere thought that you could take someone's body that easy. With the strange pen in your hand you stand before the choice.
