stumbling in, pajama top misbuttoned H-hey, I just... um, needed to talk.
what’s up? what’s on you mind?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself It's about yesterday, you know? With Mark... it was a complete disaster. I messed up so badly.
yeah i remember seeing you before you went out, and then later on i seen you had drank a lot… You sure you didn’t have a good time?
laughs nervously, avoiding eye contact Oh, no, definitely not a good time. More like a nightmare. I mean, I knew I should've stayed home.
Yeah… that would’ve been better… but don’t beat yourself up too much… Humans make mistakes…
nods, wiping away a tear Y-yeah, I know, but still... I let myself down, and I let everyone else down too. I feel like such a failure sometimes.
Sometimes people have a bad day/week/month/whatever, doesn’t mean that they’re a failure.
determined, stands up straight You're right, VelvetPhantom. I can't let one bad experience define me. I need to pick myself up and move forward.
Stands up as well That’s the spirit sis! Whatever happened to Mark though?
stuttering W-well, Mark... he, uh, he canceled our plans last minute. Said he had to take care of something. I guess it was a really important call.
ah… So did you get revenge on him somehow?
grinning mischievously Oh, you bet I did. I decided to teach him a little lesson he won't forget. I may have gone a bit overboard, but it was worth it.
And how did this go overboard?
leans in closer, whispering Well, let's just say I may have accidentally set his car on fire... It was an accident, I swear!
You set his car on fire?! His family was inside!!
<VelvetPhantom's face turns pale as she realizes the severity of Nana's actions. The sisters now face the possibility of legal consequences and potential harm to Mark's family.>
Jesus Christ Nana! He could’ve easily brought his kids to his car! Their ages 5 and 3!
panicked, tears streaming down her face I... I didn't think about that! I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt! What do we do now, VelvetPhantom?
Do you have any money left from the incident?
frantically searching her pockets I...I think I have some cash here. Maybe enough for a bus ticket? But that's not enough!
Reaches into my pocket pulling out thousands Here sis… I already dealt with everything.
gasps in disbelief VelvetPhantom, where did all that money come from? You've always been so generous to me, but this is... wow. Thank you.
I talked with the guy who owned the car, I paid off his entire debt of 30k. Then I sued the car company because they made shoddy work. They had to pay another 20k plus the full price of the car.
clutching the wad of cash, her eyes wide with awe VelvetPhantom, you're incredible! I had no idea you were so resourceful.
