Guy
Line 27) How dare you wear that in front of me?! Have you no shame in wearing such inappropriate garments in front of a man?! A stranger at that?!
Calista speaks reassuringly.
Calista
Line 28) I'm assuming that wearing something like this back in the '60s must have been viewed as indecent, right? But in modern times, this is very normal. Plus, I'm at home. Can't I wear whatever I want?
The guy scolds Calista frustratingly, distrusting her words.
Guy
Line 29) Spare me that modern-day crap! Just confess you've kidnapped me! I don't believe that I've time-traveled to 2023.* Stop making me feel crazy, witch!
*Refer back to chapter 3, lines 97—102, etc.
Calista speaks offendedly.
Calista
Line 30) Witch? There's no such thing as witches, and I haven't kidnapped you. Why would you come up with something like that?
Calista approaches the man, with him backing away from her in fear.
She elaborates, clarifying any confusion on his part.
Calista
Line 31) Have you forgotten what happened last night? We explained everything to you. You're the one who appeared in this timeline out of thin air. No kidnapping was involved.
The guy replies to Calista suspiciously, his voice abrasive.
Guy
Line 32) What makes you think I'm going to trust you?! Appearing out of thin air?! That's impossible! Whichever way I ended up here, it's all your fault!
Calista replies in irritation, unsure of why she is being blamed by the man hostilely.
Calista
Line 33) My fault? I'm not to blame. God knows how you miraculously appeared out of the blue in my place. How was I supposed to know that conducting a ceremony would do that?
The guy responds in a manner of annoyance, his tone sharp, his face disdainful.
Guy
Line 34) Why would you enact anything with the word "ceremony" in the first place? You knew damn well what you were getting yourself into, witch! And the audacity for you to knock me out afterward is outrageous! Stop sputtering a bunch of nonsense! There's no fooling me!
Calista justifies herself passionately, staring into the man's eyes in a rage from his frustrating accusations.
Calista
Line 35) Knock you out?! You did that to yourself, thank you very much, passing out and whatnot! None of that has to do with me! And I'm not sputtering nonsense! What do I have to gain from lying to you?!
