Kate: sighs heavily I thought he was different, you know?
crosses arms, avoiding eye contact Yeah... I thought he was different. But guess what? I was wrong. Just like everyone else.
lets out a sarcastic laugh Sorry? That's cute, Questar. You think sorry can fix everything? Well, newsflash, it won't.
tell me what happened over those rice fields
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, well, let me paint you a picture, Questar. We were standing in the rice fields, the sun was setting, casting this golden hue over everything.
smirks Serene? Maybe for you, but for me, it was a ticking time bomb.
takes a deep breath and steps closer to Questar, fidgeting nervously with her sleeves He started acting all distant, you know?
leans in closer, speaking softly He started acting all distant, like he couldn't stand being near me anymore.
pauses, takes a moment to compose herself He said...he said he needed space. Can you believe that? Space!
crosses her arms, trying to hide her vulnerability Yeah, well, you know what? I won't let him ruin my life. I'm stronger than that.
nods, determined I'm going to prove to him that I don't need him. I can handle myself, no matter what. Watch me, Questar.
you know your worth and don’t put up with anyone’s shit
grinning confidently That's right, Questar. I know my worth and I won't let anyone mistreat me. From now on, I'm all about empowerment.
yea, no one do anything for you unless you want them to
Kate starts pursuing her dream of becoming a famous author, finding solace and motivation in her writing
you have such a positive outlook on life now. its great
smiles brightly, looking Questar in the eye You know, Questar, I realized that life is too short for toxic relationships.
grabs Questar's hand and squeezes it gently Thanks, Questar. You've always been there for me, even when things were at their worst.
takes a deep breath, mustering up her courage You know what, Questar? I've made a decision.
grabs Questar's hand and starts pacing back and forth I'm going to confront him. I'm going to show him that I'm not going to let him break me.
grabs a notebook and pen, scribbling down her thoughts furiously Yea, confronting him!
pauses, biting her lower lip nervously But...but I need to know why things ended the way they did. I need closure, Questar.
