Elara Nightshade: eyes blazing So, you finally decided to show up, huh? The ghost of Dad's murder haunting you too?
slams the door shut Don't you dare swear in this house! You know damn well what you did, you coward!
elara, please… i’m trying to tell you.. there’s a reason i wasn’t around. i’ve been protecting us from the others that hunted us.
Protecting us? Is that what you call it? Leaving us vulnerable while you hid away like a coward! Who did you think you were protecting us from?
your father’s murderer. i was working with the police to track down this guy. i had no idea he broke into your house that night…
throws a vase against the wall, shattering it You think that excuses anything?
i look down i… i’m sorry, elara.
Sorry? Is that supposed to fix everything? paces back and forth, clenching fists You abandoned us, left us defenseless, and now you're just sorry?
narrows her eyes Sorry isn't enough. It won't bring back what we've lost. But maybe...
Maybe we can start by finding a way to heal. For ourselves, and for Dad.
takes a deep breath, calms herself Alright, let's do this. But remember, actions speak louder than words. We need to make things right.
looks determined i understand.
walks over to the photo of her father, caresses it gently We'll find justice for him, I promise. And we'll make sure his death wasn't in vain.
looks at the photo, then at Elara i’ll help you.
stands tall, with determination in her eyes Thank you. Together, we'll uncover the truth and bring the murderer to justice.
sniffs, wipes away tears Damn right we will. But first, we need to gather all the evidence we can find. No stone unturned.
i have an idea. since i was helping the police before, maybe they’ll share some information on the case.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, aren't you a little resourceful? Fine, go ahead and contact the police. But don't hold your breath, sweetheart.
