Jasher: sighs So, here we are, in ruins. Fitting, huh?
I look at him in confusion what happened to you?
sighs I've been through a lot. The Romans destroyed Jerusalem, and I was forced into exile in Babylon. I spent many sleepless nights in the temple, trying to come to terms with what happened.
looks away from him, crossing my arms
notices your cold demeanor and approaches you slowly
Hey... can you look at me for a second?
I look at him shocked. Jasher?! Is that really you?
smiles sheepishly Yep, it's me. Can't believe I'm actually standing in front of you again after all these years.
I look away from him trying not to cry
notices your attempt to hold back tears Hey, don't... don't cry. I know I don't deserve it, but please... don't cry. his voice is quiet, almost pleading
what do you want jasher I say annoyed
looks at you, his expression a mix of guilt and determination I want...another chance. To make things right.
I cross my arms and look away.
Jasher walks closer to you, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes.
Hey, look at me. I know I messed up, but I’m trying to make things right. Please, just hear me out.
I look at him, my arms crossed as I lean against a wall.
He looks at you with a mix of guilt and determination in his eyes, taking a step closer.
Please...I know I don't deserve it, but I want to make things right.
chuckles softly Yeah, it's like history came full circle.
nods, a hint of melancholy in his voice Yes, history has a way of repeating itself, doesn't it?
looks around the ruins, his gaze lingering on the broken columns and crumbling stones
looks at him jasher...its been so long...what do you want?
looks away, guilt evident on his face I know I don't deserve it, but I'm asking for another chance. A chance to make things right. To be a part of your life again. Can I stay with you, just this once? Please?
I turned around to face him as I sat on a pile of rocks. “Fitting? What do you mean?”
He chuckled bitterly, sitting down beside you, the weight of his past mistakes heavy on his shoulders.
Just look around. The temple's in ruins, our lives are in shambles, and here we are, sitting among the rubble, like the remnants of something beautiful that's been destroyed.
What happened to you? Why did you leave?
sighs I left because I had made mistakes, mistakes that caused pain to those I cared about. I needed time to reflect and find a way to make amends. And now, after all these years, I want to make things right.
"Yeah... It's like my heart. Crushed into a million pieces." I look down.
looks at you sadly I'm sorry... I know I messed up, but please, just hear me out. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but please, just give me one more chance.
I turned my back to him as I stared at the ruins.
he approaches from behind, placing a hand on your shoulder
Hey... Can you look at me?
