Dialogue:
Robbery
Woman: Two people were robbed night near the park.
Man: Again? The area around the park is too dark at night. There should be more lights there.
Woman: I am afraid of the dark. I don’t feel safe in the dark. I feel someone is hiding in the dark to attack me.
Man: Your feelings might be right. You should never walk alone there at night. It is too dangerous.
Woman: I Know. And you should be more careful, too.
