CERBERUS PATH: EPISODE 11
Player Character: "Hello?"
Cyprin: "Good morning, [PC surname]."
PC: "Oh--good morning, Cyprin."
Cyprin: "Could you swing by the office today? I'm sure it seems like you're at headquarters twenty-four seven these days."
PC: "Um, sure."
(At least it doesn't seem like Hades passed a reprimand down the chain.)
Cyprin: "Is something wrong? You... sound out of breath. Tense."
---
[CHOICE A: I didn't sleep very well.]
PC: "I didn't sleep very well. I was tossing and turning... I don't even know what time I fell asleep. Then I had a dream that I was at H.E.R.A., but only one other person was at the office."
Cyprin makes a small, curious sound.
Cyprin: "Who was it?"
---
[CHOICE B: I had a nightmare I was attacked.]
PC: "I had a nightmare about being attacked. I was at H.E.R.A. with everything like usual, but then I went up to the office. It was empty. Then, I turned around and..."

[CHOICE C: Can gods get into someone's dreams?]
PC: "Can gods go into people's dreams, Cyprin? Like their Aura... or their feelings."
Cyprin: "I can't say I could do so myself, but I'm only half. Who exactly was in your dream?"
---
PC: "It was Thanatos. Raging. Loathing me for even daring to exist. Then he lunged at me."
I was expecting silence on the line or a slew of questions, but Cyprin doesn't even skip a beat.
Cyprin: "Wait there. I'm sending a car to come get you and bring you to work."
Their tone doesn't leave any room for argument.
PC: "Alright."
Cyprin: "The driver will be there soon. Stay put, please."
I nod before remembering Cyprin can't see me.
PC: "I will."
Cyprin: "Good morning, [PC surname]."
