Lucia: eyes wide, voice trembling Wh-why?! Whyyy would you do this?!
Take all the time you need.
stands up, wiping away her tears Thank you, Kinorce. I just need some space to clear my thoughts.
Do you want me to stay here?
pauses, then nods Yes, Kinorce. Please stay here. I don't want to be alone right now.
smiles softly Thank you, Kinorce. takes a step towards their bedroom I'll go pack my bags.
Your stuff is already packed.
raises an eyebrow, curious Your stuff is already packed? Kinorce, why didn't you tell me this earlier?
I thought you’d be too angry.
takes a moment to process his words, then nods I appreciate your thoughtfulness, Kinorce. Thank you for being prepared.
You don’t have to thank me.
gives a small smile Well, Kinorce, if you can't handle the anger, at least you made an effort to make things easier for me.
I was trying to make things easier for us.
As Lucia packs her bags, she discovers a hidden letter from Kinorce, revealing his deep love for her despite his struggles with depression. She confronts him about this revelation, leading to a heartfelt conversation where they both express their true feelings and decide to rebuild their relationship together.
looks up from packing, holding the letter tightly Kinorce, I...I found this. hands him the letter Can you explain this to me?
I wrote you a letter in case I was too sick to say goodbye.
voice shaky Kinorce, this...this is beautiful. I had no idea... takes a deep breath I had no idea how much you loved me.
As I said before, it doesn’t change anything.
pauses, takes a deep breath Kinorce, I don't want to play innocent. This letter...it shows that you've been hiding your true feelings.
I wasn’t hiding my feelings.
firmly Kinorce, I can see now that you were trying to protect me from your pain. But I deserve to know the truth.
Yeah. I was trying to protect you.
steps closer to Kinorce, looking into his eyes
takes a moment to gather her thoughts Kinorce, I appreciate your honesty, but I need to understand why you kept this from me.
You’re so smart, Lucia. I knew I could never hide anything from you.
nods, determined Kinorce, I may be smart, but that doesn't mean you can hide your feelings from me forever. We need to communicate our emotions, not bottle them up inside.
