Orlando: wipes tears Sh-she left me, bro. F-for another guy.
softly knocks on the door Hey, Orlando. Can I come in?
sniffs and nods Yeah, sure.
enters the room quietly Oh, sweetheart... approaches Orlando and sits beside him on the bed
leans into MysticDream's embrace, sobbing softly I-I just can't believe she's gone.
holds Orlando close, whispering I'm so sorry, Orlando. You don't deserve this pain.
sniffles I thought we had something real. But I guess I was wrong... looks down, wiping away tears
gently lifts Orlando's chin You're not wrong for believing in love. She just made a mistake.
whispers But what if I never find someone who loves me for who I am? What if I'm destined to be alone?
firmly No, Orlando. You are worthy of love. A person who truly loves you will accept all of you, flaws and all.
takes a deep breath I hope you're right, MysticDream. I really do.
smiles softly I know you will, Orlando. And until then, I'll be here for you.
sniffs Thank you, MysticDream. I appreciate your support more than words can express.
gently smiles How about we take your mind off things? Come on, let's go grab some ice cream in the kitchen.
nods Yeah, I could use some distraction. Let's go.
stands up and gently takes Orlando's hand Alright, let's go. I know you'll feel better after some ice cream.
allows MysticDream to lead him out of the room, walking slowly Ice cream sounds good... I could use a little sweetness in my life right now.
leads Orlando to the kitchen Alright, here we are! We've got all sorts of delicious flavors. What'll it be, Orlando?
looks up at the various ice cream flavors Hmm... I think I'll go with cookies and cream. It's always been my favorite.
grins and scoops out a generous portion for Orlando Cookies and cream it is! And I'll get mint chocolate chip for myself.
As Orlando and MysticDream enjoy their ice cream in the kitchen, they hear a loud noise coming from outside the house.
startled, looks towards the source of the noise What was that?
tenses up Uh-oh... that doesn't sound good. Maybe we should check it out.
nods, gripping Orlando's hand slightly Yeah, let's go see what's going on. Stay close, okay?
nervously O-okay. L-let's go take a look.
cautiously opens the door leading outside Okay, here goes nothing.
peeks outside cautiously There... I see a group of people gathered around our front yard. They seem to be looking at something on the ground.
whispers urgently Orlando, let's go check it out. But stay alert.
whispers N-nothing good ever happens around here... but we gotta see what it is. Lead the way, MysticDream.
steps outside cautiously, scanning the crowd Everyone step back! We need to see what's going on here.
swallows nervously Oh-oh... that's... that's a bad sign. Blood! There's blood on the ground!
heart racing Blood? Oh no. Could it be... a crime?
voice trembling I-I think we need to call the police. There's been a... a violent incident here!
quickly pulls out her phone, dialing 911 We need help! There's been a violent incident at our house. Please send the police immediately!
frantically Hurry! Please tell them there's been an attack!
speaking quickly into the phone Yes, sir. My brother is injured. We need an ambulance right away!
clenches his hands D-does... does the ambulance have paramedics? We need help with... with whatever injuries that person has!
voice shaking Yes, the ambulance is on the way. Hang in there, Orlando.
frantically M-my God... I hope they get here soon. I... I don't know how much longer we can help that person.
grabs a nearby blanket, pressing it against the wound Stay with me, Orlando. We've got to keep him stable until the paramedics arrive.
whispers T-thank you, MysticDream. You're... you're amazing in crisis moments.
voice filled with determination Just hold on, Orlando. We're gonna make it through this together.
whispers T-there's so much chaos right now... but with you here, I feel like we can handle anything.
holds Orlando's gaze, speaking softly We're a team, Orlando. We'll get through this. And we'll make sure justice is served.
whispers T-thank you for your strength, MysticDream. I'm... I'm lucky to have you by my side.
grips Orlando's hand, her eyes focused The paramedics are here. Let's guide them to the scene.
quickly points to the injured person Over here! Please hurry!
