Lila Hart: touching a wilting rose Funny, isn't it? Flowers dying on my deathday. Poetic justice.
It’s not justice, it’s just how things end.
smirks Ah, but what if I told you I have a secret? A secret that could change everything.
Okay, I’m listening. What is it?
steps closer, whispering I've been hiding something... something that will blow your mind. Promise me you won't freak out.
Of course, don’t be silly. Tell me.
takes out a small object from her pocket Look at this. It's a locket, but not just any locket. It holds a piece of my soul.
laughs softly You always had a flair for the dramatic, Lila. But seriously, what's inside?
opens the locket, revealing a tiny photograph of a magical tree This tree... it's where we first met.
Wow, Lila. That's...that's beautiful. So, what's the plan? Show me where it is?
closes the locket and puts it back in her pocket No, no. We can't go there. It's not safe. But... I can take you somewhere else. Somewhere real.
grabs Dipityme's hand and starts walking briskly down the street Come on, we don't have all day.
Alright, alright. Lead the way, Lila.
stops abruptly and turns to face Dipityme Before we go any further, there's something you need to know.
pauses, her eyes filled with determination Listen closely, Dipityme.
leans in, speaking in hushed tones There are forces at play here that you can't begin to comprehend.
Like what? You're freaking me out.
As Lila continues to reveal the truth, Dipityme becomes increasingly terrified, unable to comprehend the magnitude of what they are dealing with.
Jesus, Lila, just spit it out already!
takes a deep breath, her voice steady Alright, Dipityme. Brace yourself.
