why I should choose one?!!

The three of you are in the room, it's a party at Ren's house, and you have the idea to play a ghost summoning game

Ren; heyy!! ready for adventure?

Ryan; yess..?

"The planchette starts to move again, slowly spelling out a message"

Ren: "gasps" Oh wow! It's saying... "D-O-N-T-F-E-A-R"... what does that mean?

Ryan: "nods" Yeah, I think we're in for a wild ride. Marcus is taking us on an adventure... and we don't know where it'll lead us! "winks"

"Alee shivers at Ryan's words, her heart racing with anticipation"

Ren: "excitedly" But what's on the other side? Are we going to find more ghosts? Or something even scarier?! "leans in closer to Alee and Ryan"

Ryan: "grins mischievously" We'll just have to wait and see... but I've got a feeling it's going to be a night to remember! *

"The planchette starts to move again, slowly spelling out a message"

Ren: "excitedly" Oh wow! It's saying... "O-L-D-M-A-N-S-I-O-N"... what does that mean?

Ryan: "nods" Yeah, I think Marcus is giving us a clue. Maybe we should check out the old mansion on the hill? "eyes Alee and Ren"

"Alee looks at Ryan with a mix of excitement and trepidation"

Ren: "nods" Yeah, I've heard rumors about that place being haunted! Are you guys ready to go there? "leans in closer to Alee and Ryan"

Ryan: "smirks" Come on, it'll be fun! We can't let Markus down! "winks"

"Alee's eyes sparkle with excitement as she looks at Ren and Ryan"

Ren: "nods enthusiastically" Oh, yeah! I'm so down for this! Let's do it! "pumps fist in the air"

Ryan: "smirks" You know I'm always up for a good adventure. And with Markus leading the way, it's gonna be epic! "winks"

"Alee, Ren, and Ryan all high-five each other, their excitement building as they prepare to head to the old mansion"

"Ren grins mischievously" Oh, don't worry about me, Alee! I've got everything we need for a night of ghost hunting... and a few extra surprises up my sleeve. "winks"

Ryan: "nods seriously" And I've got my trusty flashlight and EMF meter. We're gonna need those to detect any paranormal activity. "pats his backpack"

"Alee smiles, feeling more confident with her friends by her side"

Ren: "excitedly" Alright, let's get moving! Markus is waiting for us! "grabs Alee's hand and starts walking towards the old mansion"

"The three of them walk towards the old mansion, their hands intertwined as they venture into the darkness"

Ren: "giggles" This is so cool! We're like a team of ghost hunters or something! "looks up at Ryan and Alee with big eyes"

Ryan: "smirks" Yeah, we're a team all right. And we're about to uncover some serious secrets. "eyes the mansion looming ahead"

"Alee shivers, feeling a thrill of excitement mixed with a hint of fear as they approach the creaking front door"

Ren: "excitedly" Okay, here we are! The infamous old mansion! "pushes the door open, revealing a dark and musty interior"

Ryan: "whispers" Alright, let's move quietly. We don't know what we're gonna find in there. "leads"Alee nods, her eyes adjusting to the darkness as she follows Ryan and Ren into the mansion*

Ren: "whispers" Wow, this place is creepy! I can feel the energy in here... "looks around, her eyes wide with excitement"

Ryan: "nods" Yeah, I can sense it too. There's definitely something going on here. "shines his flashlight around the room, casting eerie shadows"

"Alee shivers, feeling a chill run down her spine as she gazes around at the cobweb-covered furniture and dusty decorations"

Ren: "excitedly" Oh my god, look! There's a door over there that looks like it hasn't been opened in years! "points to a door hidden behind a tapestry"

Ryan: "smirks" You know what that means... we need to go check it out!

"Alee's eyes widen in surprise as Ryan tries to open the door, but it doesn't budge"

Ren: "gasps" Whoa, that's freaky! I've never seen a door lock itself before! "looks around nervously"

Ryan: "grumbles" Great, just what we needed. A locked door. "tries to force the door open again, but it remains stubbornly shut"

"Alee shakes her head, trying to process what's happening"

Alee: "whispers" Guys, maybe we should leave? This is getting weird...

Ren: "excitedly" No way! We can't leave now! We have to figure out what's going on! "pokes at the door with her finger, as if trying to sense something"

Ryan: "skeptically" Yeah, right. Because nothing says "

"Alee calls out, her voice echoing through the silent hallway"

Alee: "calls out" Markus! Can you hear us? We're stuck in front of this door!

"A faint whispery voice responds, sending shivers down Alee's spine"

Marcus: "whispers" Ah, you shouldn't be here... You shouldn't have come...

Ren: "excitedly" Whoa, did he say something? I think he's trying to tell us something!

Ryan: "nods" Yeah, I think so too. Marcus, can you give us some hint what's going on?

Marcus: "whispers" The door... it's not just any door... It's a portal... to the other side...

"Alee's eyes widen in surprise as Ryan's flashlight flickers erratically"

Alee: "gasps" What do you

"Alee's eyes dart back and forth between Ryan and Ren, a mix of fear and excitement building up inside her"

Ren: "nervously" Yeah, we'll be safe, right? I mean, you said we'd be fine...

Ryan: "serious tone" Marcus, what kind of portal are we talking about? Is it safe?

Marcus: "whispers" Safe... Ha! You want to know about safety? You shouldn't have come here... Now you're trapped... Forever...

"Alee shudders at the ominous tone, feeling a cold sweat trickling down her spine"

Alee: "stammers" F-f-forever? Wh-what do you mean?!

Marcus: "whispers" The door... it's a one-way ticket... Once you go through, there's no turning back...

"Ryan's grip on A"Alee's eyes lock onto Ryan's, a desperate plea for reassurance*

Alee: "urgently" Ryan, what do we do? We can't just go through the door without knowing what's on the other side!

Ryan: "grimly" Marcus, what kind of secrets are you hiding?

Marcus: "whispers" Secrets... ah, yes... The secrets are waiting... Are you brave enough to find out?

Ren: "excitedly" Ooh, secrets! Sounds like an adventure!

"Alee shoots Ren a worried glance, but Ren just winks at her"

Alee: "skeptically" You're not serious, right, Ren? We can't just go through a mysterious portal...

Ryan: "firmly" Actually, Alee, I think we should hear Marcus out. He might have some information that can

"Alee's eyes widen in panic as she looks at Ryan and Ren, her voice shaking"

Alee: "pleadingly" No, no, no! I don't want to be a ghost! I'm not ready! I have so much life left to live!

Ren: "sympathetically" Aw, Alee, don't worry! We'll figure something out!

Ryan: "calmly" Marcus, is there really no way back?

Marcus: "whispers" No... no way... But... there's a catch...

"Alee's eyes dart back and forth between Ryan and Ren, desperate for an answer"

Alee: "urgently" What catch? Tell me!

Marcus: "whispers" You need to make a choice... Choose the one you love most... And they'll come with you...

*Alee's eyes

"Alee's face flushes bright red as she looks at Ryan and Ren, her voice barely above a whisper"

Alee: "admittingly" I... I have feelings for both of you...

Ren: "surprised" Really? I had no idea!

Ryan: "sternly" So, you're saying you're in a love triangle?

Marcus: "whispers" Ah, yes... The perfect storm... Two men, one heart...

"Alee looks down, embarrassed, while Ryan and Ren exchange a look"

Alee: "sheepishly" Yeah... I guess it's true...

Ren: "excitedly" Ooh, this is getting juicy! Tell me more!

Ryan: "skeptically" Alee, are you sure about this? You can't have two lovers...

*Alee looks up at Ryan,

"Alee's eyes well up with tears as she looks at Ryan and Ren, her voice trembling"

Alee: "emotively" Oh, guys... I don't want to choose between you two... You're both my best friends...

Ren: "softly" Alee, it's okay... We understand... You have feelings for both of us...

Ryan: "angrily" No, we don't understand! We can't be just friends if you're choosing between us!

"Alee looks at Ryan, seeing the hurt in his eyes"

Alee: "whispers" Ryan, please... Don't be like that... I love you too...

Ryan: "bitterly" Save it, Alee... You're always saying you love me, but when it counts, you can't make a choice...

Ren: "calmly**Alee's eyes lock onto Ryan's, feeling a pang of guilt"

Alee: "apologetically" Ryan, I'm sorry... You're right... I don't know what to do...

Ren: "encouragingly" Alee, don't worry about it... We'll figure it out together... Maybe we can find a way to make it work...

Ryan: "scoffs" You think there's a way to make this work? You think you can just have two lovers and be happy?

"Alee looks down, feeling the weight of her situation"

Alee: "resigned" I don't know... Maybe not... But I don't want to lose either of you...

"Alee's eyes light up with excitement as she looks at Ryan and Ren, a hopeful tone in her voice"

Alee: "excitedly" Ooh, yeah! Markus' ghost said I have to choose one of you... But what if we can find another way? What if we can make it work?

Ren: "skeptically" There's no other way... We've tried everything...

Ryan: "firmly" Yeah, and we've decided. It's you or me.

"Alee looks down, feeling the weight of the decision"

Alee: "defeated" Yeah... I know...

Marcus: "whispers" Ah, but there is another way...

"Alee's head shoots up, hope reviving"

Alee: "excitedly" Really?! Tell us!

Marcus: "whispers" You can... sacrifice your"Alee's eyes widen with shock as she looks at Ryan and Ren, her voice barely above a whisper"

Alee: "curiously" Sacrifice my... what?

Marcus: "whispers" Your heart...

"Alee looks at Ryan and Ren, seeing the intrigue in their eyes"

Ren: "incredulously" You mean, like, give up our love for you?

Ryan: "disbelievingly" Sacrifice our feelings for you?

"Alee nods slowly, her heart racing"

Alee: "firmly" Yes... If it means we can be together...

Marcus: "whispers" Ah, but there's a catch...

"Alee's eyes narrow, sensing a twist"

Alee: "skeptically" What is it?

"Alee's eyes sparkle with determination as she looks at Ryan and Ren, a resolute tone in her voice"

Alee: "firmly" Yeah, let's do it! We've faced so many obstacles together before, we can face this one too!

Ren: "excitedly" That's the spirit! We can totally do this!

Ryan: "determined" And if we stick together, we'll make it out of this place no matter what.

Marcus: "laughs" Ah, you three are a team, aren't you? Very well, I'll give you a challenge. If you can make it through the Haunted Hallway of Love, you'll be granted your freedom... but if you fail, you'll be trapped here forever!

"Alee's eyes widen at the thought, but she nods decisively"

Alee: *br

"Alee's eyes are fixed intently on Marcus as she asks for the rules"

Marcus: "smirks" Ah, very well. The rules are simple:

"You must hold hands with one of your best friends at all times" "You cannot look back once you've started" "If you see a ghostly figure, do not scream or freeze" "You must make a choice when faced with a door"

"Alee's gaze flicks to Ryan and Ren, who nod in understanding"

Ren: "curiously" What kind of choices will we have to make?

Marcus: "winks" Ah, that would be telling... but let's just say it'll test your bond and your trust in each other.

Ryan: "serious" We're ready to do this. But Alee, which one of us do you want to hold hands with
