Hubert & Bernadetta C

Bernadetta
Being outside is so tiring. Tomorrow's got to be just an inside day, Bernie.

Hubert
...

Bernadetta
Whoa, why is it so cold all of a sudden? It's as if an unspeakable evil just— Ah!

Hubert
You're late.

Bernadetta
No! Into the light! Back to the beyond from whence you came!

Hubert
Are you telling me to die?

Bernadetta
Ah— Hubert!

Hubert
In the flesh. I came to ask you something.

Bernadetta
Oh no! What'd I do? Think, Bernie, think.

Hubert
There have been sightings of a sinister figure, carrying a sharp object, wandering the halls at night.

Bernadetta
Um...

Hubert
A strange giggle. The glimmer of a needle in the dark. The sound of a door creaking open and closed.

Bernadetta
Uh, I was embroidering.

Hubert
I suspected as much. Then you leave me no choice.

Bernadetta
Wh-what?!

Bernadetta
No! I'm too young to die! I've got so much left to do! Please don't kill me!

Hubert
About what I expected.

Bernadetta
It's no good... I can't run anymore...

Hubert
That was quite a sprint. A shame you lack stamina.

Hubert
Now, to my duty.

Bernadetta
You're going to execute me, aren't you?

Bernadetta
Please, let me compose my last will and testament! Or at least a swan song?

Bernadetta
The creak of a door... Sorrow like a needlepoint... Bernie's gone away.

Hubert
Bernadetta. A word of caution.

Hubert
How would you feel if you fell, or bumped into someone, while carrying around that needle?

Hubert
Please watch where you're going in the future.

Bernadetta
...

Hubert
How did you manage to faint while standing up?

Hubert
Well, I cannot simply leave her here.
