Try to cheer up Barbara
"Will you at least come into the Castle with me, Barbara?"
you sincerely ask her. Barbara looks up at you, as if struggling
between decisions in her mind. Finally, she looks up at you with
renewed hope and slowly nods her head.
"I guess we'd better find out what happened to Dave."
Barbara replied gently. She then stood up and said, "We can go
into the Castle now, or do something else."
"Like what?" you asked with mild interest. You think that
this search & rescue mission isn't starting off that well. Barbara
seems distracted with having incredible amounts of fun, Doug is being
controlled by an unknown force and is currently walking around in an
elusive castle, and you are wondering if this is how other people live
out their lives.
You try to give your good friend Barbara some moral support, with no
success. She seems too sad about something indefinable.
