Lila: leans in, smirking Miss me?
Lila: stands up and walks towards Perez Oh, don't worry, Perez. I'm not here to ruin your little fantasy.
Perez is still looking at himself in the mirror
Lila: grinning mischievously But I can play along, you know? Let's see how long you can keep up this charade.
You're... you're really here...?
Lila: raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms "Really here"? You think I've been haunting you or something? Pathetic.
I thought that you died when I was young..
Lila: rolls her eyes dramatically Died? Please, Perez, don't act like you'll be surprised if I pull a rabbit out of my hat.
So you were the one who switched us at birth? Why didn't you ever contact me?
Lila: smirks Well, sweetheart, it's not like I owed you any explanations. But, oh well, here we are. Let's cut to the chase, shall we?
Fine... let's cut to the chase. What do you want from me?
Lila: grins slyly Oh, Perez, you have so many questions. But let's focus on the important one first - what do I want?
Lila: takes a step closer to Perez, her eyes gleaming with mischief Well, darling, it's simple. I want answers.
Lila demands answers about their past and the reasons behind their separation, leading to a heated confrontation.
Lila: laughs mockingly Left? Oh, sweetheart, it's not like I had a choice, did I?
Of course you did.. you could've stayed and fought for me..
Lila: rolls her eyes Oh, please! And risk exposing myself? No thank you, darling.
You couldn't even call me once? Not even to tell me that you were alive?
Lila: smirks and crosses her arms Call you? Oh, I wouldn't waste my precious time on that. But listen up, Perez.
You're acting like you didn't even care about me...
Lila: tilts her head and narrows her eyes Care about you? Oh, sweetheart, you really do think highly of yourself, don't you?
So you didn't care at all...
Lila: grins wickedly Ah, Perez, if only you knew. I didn't need to care about you because guess what?
Lila: smirks and leans in closer to Perez I had bigger, better things to obsess over. Unlike you, I knew how to play the game, sweetheart.
Perez looks down, feeling rejected and unimportant.
Lila: grabs Perez's chin and forces him to look up Don't you dare feel sorry for yourself, Perez. Life is a cruel game, and you've been playing it all wrong.
How have I been playing it wrong?
Lila: smirks Oh, where do I even begin? Let me tell you, Perez, you've been so naive, so clueless.
I am clueless.. I didn't even know that you were my birth mother..
Lila: claps her hands sarcastically Bravo, Perez! Congratulations on your award-winning acting.
Perez looks genuinely confused and hurt by Lila's words.
Lila: leans in even closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm Confused and hurt? Well, sweetheart, that's just the beginning.
Lila: laughs derisively Adopted? Oh, Perez, you should be grateful I didn't abandon you outright. But no, you weren't adopted.
Then why did you leave me in orphanages?
Lila: rolls her eyes dramatically Orphanages? Darling, you really have led a sheltered life, haven't you?
