Staring out at the sea, not turning to face you Why are you here?
I'm here because...I wanted to find my wife again. I couldn't live without you.
sighs heavily You shouldn't have come looking for me. You don't understand what I need right now.
then tell me what you want?
turns to face NightRole, eyes filled with determination I want to find myself, NightRole. I can't do that if you're constantly trying to control me.
I will never try to control you again
narrows her eyes, studying NightRole If you're truly sincere, then prove it. Show me that you're willing to let go and give me the space I need.
ok just give me one last chance
takes a deep breath and steps closer to NightRole Alright, I'll give you one last chance. But know this, NightRole - if you step out of line, there won't be a second chance. Do you understand?
slightly tilts her head, studying NightRole Prove to me that you're willing to let go of control. Show me that you can respect my boundaries.
crosses her arms, tapping her foot impatiently You need to give me some space, NightRole. No more constant checking up on me, no more overwhelming me with your expectations.
ok i will give you all the space you want
leans in closer, voice firm Good. Now, leave me alone. Go do something for yourself, something that doesn't involve me.
sits down on the couch, takes out a journal Now, I want to write down all the things that make me happy.
he comes back a couple hours later did you find anything that makes you happy?
looks up from her journal, a small smile forming on her lips Yes, actually. Writing down all the things that make me happy has made me realize how much I've been neglecting my own desires. I want to pursue my passion for art again.
that sounds amazing i think that is a great idea
