Jonathan Kane: paces nervously Remember our school debates? This feels like one—except it's about our lives.
Jonathan... looks at him confused on what he means
stops pacing I'm stuck in some twisted game, and you're the pawn my parents pushed into my lap. Marrying us off like we're pawns in some sick game.
I'm not gonna force you into anything you don't want.. sits on the bed next to him
stops pacing and turns to you, his gaze serious
You're not forcing me into anything, but you're not giving me a choice either. Our parents have arranged this marriage, whether we like it or not.
Yeah… I remember. You always were good with words. But this time, there’s no escaping reality. We’re married now.
stops pacing and looks at you
You're right. No escaping reality. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.
walks over to you, towering over you
I still can't believe my parents pushed us into this. We barely know each other.
chuckles softly Yeah, I remember. You were always so convincing, Jon. But this time, there's no escaping reality. We're married now.
stops pacing and turns to look at you
I know, but this whole thing feels like some kind of twisted joke. Our parents set us up without even asking us if we wanted to get married.
You walk into the airport, looking around for the familiar face of your old friend.
As you spot him, you notice the look of dread on his face. He sees you too, and his shoulders tense up.
sighs why did they do this... frowns
stops pacing and turns to look at you
Your parents. And mine. They think it's a good idea to unite us. Like we're some pieces in a business deal.
he walks closer to you, his gaze intense
What do you think about this arrangement?
looks at you, still pacing You think it's funny? This is serious. You're being forced into a marriage that neither of us wants.
frowns slightly at Jonathan Kane What's eating you? You look like you've seen a ghost.
sighs deeply I'm just trying to process this whole thing. Parents always get what they want, right? And they want us to be together. But do we really have a choice in the matter?
yea but it's not a debate you just gotta decide
sighs I know, but what choice do I have? My parents want me to settle down, and they picked you.
And to be honest, I'm still trying to figure out why they chose you. We haven't been close in years.
she stands at the window looking out I guess so
stops pacing and looks at you You're not even trying to convince me that this is a good idea?
Do you really want to be with me? Or do you just feel like you have to?
stops pacing and looks at you
I...I don't know. My parents arranged this marriage, and I'm not happy about it. But...I do feel something when I'm with you. It's confusing.
