Teddy: "H-h-hey? A-are you ok?"

Hope: "Are you talking to me?"

T: "Y-y-yeah. You."

H: "You can see me?"

T: "Of course I c-can... I'm T-Teddy by th-the way, nice to m-m-meet you... A-are you ok?"

H: "I'm fine... I just don't know my way around town yet, since I've only recently moved in... And now I'm lost, trying to find my way home."

T: "W-well, I know everything a-about the town - all th-the street names, a-all the import-tant places, a-all the shortcuts - e-e-everything! Mhm..."

H: "Do you know where Ridge Cottage is?"

T: "...R-Ridge C-Cottage?.. Hmm... I, ughm, I - I don't kn-know. B-but we can check at th-the library! I-it's just about this w-way..."

H: "No!"

T: "Hmm?"

H: "I-I just mean... Is there another way?"

T: "O-o-of course there is! We can go the b-b-back way."

...

T: "O-oh... The g-gate is up... B-but don't worry! I - ughm - I'll j-just crawl through this hole h-here and unlock it m-m-myself... Mhm!"

...

T: "W-woah! How did you d-do that? Th-that's amazing!"

...

Bully-1: "Bah-ha-ha! Do it again, do it again!"

T: "The map should be j-just about over there, n-n-near the histor-rical s-section..."

T: "Oh, n-no! I-it's the b-bullies..."

H: "The're just boys, Teddy... It's okay - I'll get it!"

...

Bully-1: "Oh my gosh, it's that bot again!"

Bully-2: "It's a girl, dude."

B-1: "Not with that haircut it's not."

B-2: "Bah-ha-ha! She does look like a tomboy."

B-1: "His name is Tom?"

B-2: "No, you idiot! A tomboy..."

...

B-1: "What's a tomb ----- w-woah! What the h-heck is that?!"

B-2: "The map is moving on its own! D-do you see that?!"

B-1: "It's a ghost, Johnny. Run!"

B-2: "A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ah!"

...

T: "Ha-ha-ha! You g-go, Hope!"

H: "Ha-ha! Idiots!"

...

H: "Who were those boys anyway?"

T: "Oh, w-well... Th-they are just some boys from s-s-school, who make fun of m-my stut-ter. Which is why I-I barely g-go there n-now... B-but I know so m-much ab-bout the town n-now!"

H: "Why don't you tell somebody about it?"

T: "W-well... My mom hasn't been f-feeling right ever since my dad l-left, so I don't want to t-trouble her. I-I'm really good at writing m-m-my own sick notes, th-though! The teachers haven't given me a-any troubles s-so far."

...

T: "Wh-what about y-you, Hope? Y-you seem quite u-upset. What, did someone d-die?"

...

T: "Oh, no!"

H: "Ugh..."

...

H: "I don't think it's possible to go through here..."

T: "W-we could move that b-boulder, b-but I can't do it a-alone..."

H: "I can't do anything in this state..."

T: "P-perhaps not in this instance. B-but it's so cool!"

H: "It's really not..."

T: "But y-you can go invisible at any time you want! I-I wish I could d-do that..."

H: "It only triggers when I'm sad, and sometimes it makes things even more difficult... I can't even speak to people."

T: "Hmm... I can s-see that, but I still think it's a s-s-superpower!"

...

H: "Hrngh! Just a little bit more!"

T: "M-m-m-myeah!"

...

H: "Here - take my hand!"

T: "Th-thanks!"
