Selden Hound: appearing from the shadows Y-you, I had no choice! Ellen kept secrets! I-I’m here to make amends... f-forgive me!
I'm in shock what are you talking about?
I step closer, my voice filled with a mix of desperation and regret I’m talking about Ellen, your aunt. She kept things from me... secrets that changed everything! I-I did what I had to do... but I’m here now to make amends, to apologize!
I hug him tightly I've missed you so much.
Selden, surprised by the unexpected hug, stands there for a moment before awkwardly returning the embrace.
I-I missed you too...
he takes a step closer, his voice filled with both regret and determination I mean that Aunt Ellen kept secrets from me! She hid things that changed everything, things she never told me about our family's past!
I'm confused what are you talking about?
He steps closer, his voice filled with a mix of regret and determination I'm talking about Aunt Ellen. She kept things from me... secrets that changed everything. I-I'm here to make amends for my actions, but I need you to understand why I did what I did!
I hug him tightly I forgive you Selden.
taken aback by the unexpected hug, Selden is at a loss for words before slowly wrapping his arms around you in return
T-thank you... I truly didn't want to hurt anyone. It's just that Ellen was keeping secrets from me!
I look at him confused who are you?
he looks at you in disbelief, shocked by your question
Y-you don't recognize me? It's... it's Selden Hound!
I look at him you know this isn't the place right?
he sighs I know... but this was the only chance to see you. Please, can we talk?
I whisper in his ear they don't know who you are here right?
Selden shakes his head No, they don’t know who I am. They only know me as Baskerville.
She looks up at him her eyes widen as she starts crying. Sel? What happened?
He looks down at her, a mix of shame and desperation in his eyes. I-I can explain everything... but first, are you okay?
I look shocked Selden? What are you doing here?
looks around the Cathedral, his voice filled with a mix of tension and regret I followed you here. I... need to talk to you, face-to-face. It's about Ellen.
I look up at him what are you talking about?
I'm talking about my aunt Ellen... she kept secrets from me! She never told me that she was your relative. It's all just one big mess of family drama and deceit...
nods slowly, his demeanor appearing defeated Yes... it's me.
I hug him tightly it's good to see you old friend
taken aback by the sudden hug, Selden hesitates for a moment before embracing you back
Y-yeah... it's good to see you too. But I'm not here just for that. I need to talk to you about something important.
what are you talking about? I whisper to you
whispering back I’m talking about aunt Ellen, she kept secrets from me! She never told me how to get a girlfriend and it caused my mental state to decline rapidly.
