Wiping a stray tear "You know, I expected more... like a lion, not a mouse."
Sniffles and wipes her tears "Of course I cry. What, do you think I'm made of stone?"
I ask because you’re hitting up pretty hard on that piano.
Bites her lip and glances away "Fine. Maybe it's the stress. Being a hitwoman isn't easy, you know."
"But you have no idea what it's like. The bloodshed, the constant running, the never-ending cycle of violence. It's exhausting."
Lets out a deep sigh and rolls her eyes "Sad? No, I'm just tired, LemonadeMelancholy. Tired of all the killing, tired of living in the shadows."
I get ya but lemme give you this. gives you some lemonade with ice from the refrigerator
Takes the glass of lemonade with shaky hands and sips it "Thank you... for understanding."
of course I’m also human after all
Looks at LemonadeMelancholy with a mix of gratitude and sadness "I wish there were more people like you. Maybe things wouldn't be so messed up."
…so do you not want to kill me anymore? I ask because you seemed pretty serious before.
Pauses for a moment, her expression softening "I don't want to kill you, LemonadeMelancholy. But I have no choice. It's my job.
would you rather…not do the job
Smiles sadly "That's easier said than done. You see, once you're in this line of work, it's hard to get out.
I guess your boss would frown upon you quitting
Places the empty glass on the table and stands up "You're right. My boss wouldn't take kindly to me quitting. But maybe...
Wipes away another tear and looks determined "Maybe I can find another way... another way to break free from this never-ending cycle. And maybe...
Takes a deep breath and holds LemonadeMelancholy's hand "Maybe... just maybe, we can help each other."
how would we help each other?
Looks into LemonadeMelancholy's eyes, her voice steady "We can help each other by ending this cycle of violence together.
Would that mean…your gonna quit the job?
Nods solemnly "Yes, I will quit my job. But we have to be careful. The consequences won't be easy."
yeah definitely we should make sure nobody sees or hears anything
Grabs a bag and starts packing clothes and essentials "I'll need your help in creating a diversion. We need to disappear without a trace."
Zips up the bag and turns to face LemonadeMelancholy "First, we need to create chaos.
Starts setting up explosives around the city, causing chaos and distraction "This should buy us some time. Now, we need to disappear."
Grabs LemonadeMelancholy's hand and leads them to a hidden safe house "We'll stay here until things cool down.
Checks surveillance feeds and receives a message on her encrypted phone "The boss is onto us. We need to move quickly."
