Excerpt from dialogue

D: Look! Over there!
P: What? Where? Wait! What did you see?
D: There in the bushes. It was looking straight at us with these big green glowing eyes...
P: I didn’t see anything. Glowing eyes?
D: yeah, Well you missed it this time, but don’t worry it will come back.
P: You think? Scary.
D: No it’s not scary… if anything, maybe it’s scared of us. Maybe we need to show it that we are not a threat, that we want to see like it sees, we want to move like it moves… Come on, let’s leave this spot… If we come out, and show ourselves, maybe it will come out too.

P: Hey D, did you see anything yet?
D: No. Did you?
P: No.
D: Mm.
P: So, I think it didn’t work
D: No I think it will work but I think we just need to wait a little longer.
P: Ok. And it will be worth it right?
D: Of course it will be worth it! When it finally comes out, and you lock eyes with it, your heart will skip a beat. This moment will embody all that we have renounced, all we have left behind… The encounter will be life-changing, trust me.
P: Hmm. Sounds like a bit much. I quite like my life as it is.
