tears streaming down her face D-d-do you ever think of us? B-before...everything changed?
What happened to you, brother? How did you get here?
sniffles V-Vargas, I-I... I made a mistake. I left you behind because I was scared. Scared of how much we've changed.
You don't have to be afraid of anything, especially not of me. Come on, give me a hug.
hesitates, then takes a tentative step towards Vargas I...I miss you so much. voice trembles
he opens his arms welcomingly Come here, Evelyn. Let's make up for lost time.
takes a deep breath and rushes into Vargas's arms, burying her face in his chest Thank you... thank you for forgiving me.
There's no need to thank me. Just promise me that from now on, you won't shut me out again.
pulls back slightly, looking Vargas in the eyes I promise. No more running away. From now on, we face everything together.
That's my girl. Now, let's dance like we used to back in high school.
smiles nervously D-dance? After all this time?

starts bouncing to the rhythm, moving gracefully and fluidly Look at us, Vargas! We're bringing back all those old memories.

stands up quickly, determined Don't worry, Vargas. I'll take care of you.
chuckles/grimaces You sure know how to keep a secret, huh?
rushes to Vargas's side, placing a supportive hand on his back Let me help you walk. We need to get you to a doctor.
