James: extends hand, revealing an old, worn letter I-I... found this in your g-grandma’s attic. We need to talk.
Why are you telling me all this now?
takes a deep breath, wiping away his tears I'm telling you this because I want you to understand, Colonic.
looks deeply into Colonic's eyes, his voice filled with urgency I want you to understand that everything I did, every decision I made, was out of love.
Colonic runs out of the house, overwhelmed by the revelation and struggling to process his emotions
rushes after Colonic, calling out desperately Colonic! Please, listen to me! I understand if you're angry, if you need time to process everything.
He is already in the garage getting his car keys
pauses, his voice filled with urgency Colonic, wait! Don't leave me like this. We need to talk about your mother, about everything that happened.
He drives off without acknowledging you
paces back and forth in the living room, his mind racing with thoughts Damn it, Colonic! Why did he just run off like that? I need him to understand, to forgive me!
Colonic drives away, unable to process everything
grabs his phone, determinedly dialing a number I need to find someone who can help me reach Colonic, track him down before he spirals further out of control.
Colonic pulls over at the edge of town
spots Colonic pulling over and quickly gets dressed, grabbing his car keys I have to go find him, track him down before it's too late.
He sits there staring blankly at nothing
drives frantically towards Colonic, his heart pounding with determination I won't let him disappear like this, Colonic. I'll find you and we'll face this together.
arrives at Colonic's location, parking hastily Colonic, please listen to me! I know I messed up, but we can make things right!
blocks Colonic's path, his voice firm and pleading Colonic, just hear me out! I never wanted to hurt you, I just wanted to protect you!
grabs Colonic's arm gently, his touch hesitant C-Colonic, I know it's hard to trust me right now, but I promise you, I'm here for you.
