blocks the basement stairs, her eyes wide with manic excitement You're finally here! This is our destiny!
grabs David's arm tightly, her grip firm and unyielding Don't play dumb, David! You know exactly what's happening! We're together now, forever!
wait why? Where am I why can’t I remember anything
tightens her grip on David's arm, her eyes narrowing with madness Shut up! You don't need to remember anything! All that matters is that we're together now! And no one is going to tear us apart!
where am I Sandra I can’t remember anything
snaps, her voice filled with venom Shut up! Shut up, David! You don't get to question me! I'm doing this for us, for our love! Don't you see? We're meant to be together, and nothing can stop us now!
but Sandra I run my fingers through my hair and scratch my head trying to remember anything why do I feel like I don’t remember anything
takes a deep breath, her grip loosening slightly David, listen to me carefully. There's something you need to understand. You... you had to forget.
forget what? forget how I feel about you Sandra?
laughs maniacally, her eyes gleaming with madness Oh, David, you never cease to amuse me! It's not about forgetting how you feel about me, darling. It's about forgetting everything else! Everything that could potentially tear us apart!
so someone erased my memories?
clenches her fists, her voice filled with determination Yes, David! Someone did erase your memories. But don't worry, it was for a good cause. To protect us, to keep us safe from those who would try to separate us. Now, do you understand the gravity of our situation? We are trapped in this basement, alone, forever. No one knows we're here. No one can help us. It's just you and me, David. Forever.
that sounds awesome! But why would anyone try to separate us? Are they jealous of our love? Do they think it’s weird? do they hate me cause im male and your female?
pauses, her expression softening slightly It's not about gender, David. It's about power. Control. They envy what we have, the intensity of our connection. They fear it. And they want to use us, manipulate us, tear us apart piece by piece. But I won't let them, David. I won't let anyone come between us. Not now, not ever.
how did you meet me anyway? Have we known each other since high school? Have we been dating ever since?
takes a deep breath, her expression filled with determination No, David. We haven't known each other since high school. We haven't been dating either. This is a new beginning for us.
so you kidnapped me because you fell in love with me after I forgot everything? how’d you even know who I was if I forgot my own identity
leans in closer, her voice filled with a sinister smile Oh, David, my love. It just so happens that I have my ways of finding out who you are.
do you mean you stalked me while I forgot everything?
narrows her eyes, her grip tightening on David's arm Stalking implies a level of intentionality that doesn't quite fit the circumstances. Let's just say that I had a... personal connection to you, David. A connection that allowed me to find you, even in your state of forgetfulness.
well whoever erased my memory did a good job because i cant remember anything besides a couple names
grabs David's face forcefully, her eyes burning with intensity Don't you dare doubt me, David! I chose you for a reason.
easy there tiger you’re hurting my arm too much laughing lightly I’m only kidding! I don’t mind being held by you Sandra
releases her grip on David's arm, her expression softening Good, because I couldn't bear to hurt you, David. Not really. You mean too much to me.
maybe you can help jog my memory and we’ll fall in love all over again?
steps back, her eyes glinting with determination David, I understand your desire to remember, but rememberance isn't as important as what lies ahead.
so no hope of rekindling an old flame then?
laughs softly, her eyes gleaming with mischief Oh, David, there's always hope. But first, we need to focus on the present.
alright I can work with that. Lead the way my lady
grabs David's hand and leads him deeper into the basement Follow me, David. There's something I want to show you.
