Victoria Blackwood: Sighs, gazing out the window I... I need to breathe. This place... it's suffocating.
paces back and forth How can I be expected to live like this, trapped behind these walls? throws her hands up in frustration
pauses, taking a deep breath I... I understand that we're newly married, but that doesn't mean I have to accept this life.
I give her a set of keys to my house on the estate
takes the keys from AceZin, clenching them tightly Thank you, AceZin. But I can't pretend to be grateful for this prison.
follows AceZin out of the office Look, AceZin, I appreciate the gesture, but this isn't what I want. I want to be free, to explore, to live my own life.
I walk on the grounds well, that's a beautiful house over there, how does it look?
rolls her eyes AceZin, don't try to change the subject. We're talking about my need for freedom, not your goddamn house.
I sigh Victoria, you're so dramatic. My house is like a dream home, I think you'll love it there.
narrows her eyes at AceZin Dream home? More like a gilded cage. But fine, I'll play along for now.
I open the door to my house I'll leave you to it, I have some business to attend to.
steps inside the house, looking around critically Well, AceZin, it seems like this place is more your style than mine.
smirks Too much for you, sweetheart?
As Victoria explores the house, she accidentally knocks over a valuable vase, shattering it into pieces
I come home and see the shattered vase on the floor
stammers, backing away from the shattered vase Oh, damn! I-I didn't mean to... It was an accident, I swear!
I pick up the shattered pieces, throwing them into my hand so clumsy, I hope there wasn't much value in it.
bites her lip nervously AceZin, I'm really sorry about the vase. It was a mistake, and I didn't mean to break it.
smirks Well, mistakes happen, don't they? You know, I should punish you somehow.
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage AceZin, I understand that you're upset about the vase, but punishment isn't necessary.
smirks Oh, is that so? No punishment? Then how about you make me breakfast every morning as penance?
crosses her arms defiantly AceZin, making breakfast might be a bit much. How about something less... domestic?
laughs Less domestic, huh? Well, I'm intrigued. What did you have in mind?
pauses for a moment, thinking Well, how about I plan and execute a secret scavenger hunt around the city?
