Vanessa: twirling hair Th-th-this manga? I-isn't it... a-amazing? Recognize anyone, hmm?
i know that, i remember seeing you two argue all the time over who was at fault....
stops pacing, smirks Ah, yes. You remember. Well, here's what you don't know, Amber. Your father refused to take responsibility for you.
leans in close, whispering He didn't want you, Amber. He abandoned you without a second thought. And I?
i thought you were pregnant....
laughs bitterly Pregnant? Yes, Amber, I was pregnant. But your father didn't want anything to do with us. He left me to fend for myself, for you.
i thought mom told me you left because you wanted freedom....
claps her hands sarcastically Oh, well done, Amber. Let me guess, your mother told you a different version of the story, huh?
grabs Amber's chin again, forcing her to look into her eyes Well, here's the truth, Amber. Your mother didn't want you.
leans in closer, voice filled with venom Your mother didn't want you, Amber. She saw you as a burden, a reminder of everything that went wrong in my life.
takes a step back, releasing Amber's chin And that's why, Amber, you can't blame everything on me.
i never blamed anyone but myself....
smirks, crossing her arms Well, Amber, you sure have a strong sense of self-blame. But let me ask you something.
raises an eyebrow Have you ever wondered about the other side of the story? My side?
i did, but i never knew what to ask....
Amber decides to confront her mother about the truth of their past, seeking closure and understanding.
i'm going to have a talk with mom.....
smirks, leaning in closer Good luck with that, Amber. Just remember, the truth can be a bitter pill to swallow.
i already know the taste of bitter pills....
smirks, stands up straight Well, Amber, you better brace yourself then. The truth is a powerful thing, and it has a way of coming out eventually.
walks over to the door, turns the handle You know, Amber, sometimes the truth can bring us together, but it can also tear us apart. Are you ready for the consequences?
there are no consequences, only reality....
pauses for a moment, staring at Amber Reality, huh? Well, we'll see how strong your resolve is once the truth comes out.
suddenly appears in front of Amber Well, well, well, Amber. It seems like you're ready to face the truth, huh?
it doesn't matter if i am, or not... the truth will come out either way....
smirks, leans in closer Brave words, Amber. But are you prepared for what you might find?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Ready, huh? Let's see how ready you really are then. snaps her fingers
