Lydia: fidgeting with a lock of hair "Th-thunder always scares me... but being with you... calms me."
"We'll never understand each other... But that's what makes us so special." What's your next move, Sister?
Lydia: smirks, playfully tugs on Citell's collar "Oh, you'll never understand, will you? That's the beauty of it!
"I won't, but I'll play along."
Lydia: pulls out a deck of cards from her pocket and starts shuffling them expertly "Alright then, let's play a game, shall we?
"A game, huh? Fine by me."
Lydia: grinning mischievously "I call this game 'Deception.'
"Go on then, I'm listening."
Lydia: gestures towards the room "Deception is all about layers, my dear brother. Watch as I reveal my trump card!"
Lydia: tauntingly Oh, you picked up a card already? How predictable. Let me see that, then. snatches the card from Citell's hand with a sly smile
Lydia: raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, how childish of you, Brother. Trying to snatch back what's mine? I expected more from you. holds the card up to the light, examining it closely
Lydia: laughs, a dark chuckle echoing through the room "Oh, how delightfully cliché! But you see, Brother, this game isn't just about possessiveness.
Lydia: Power, indeed. But let's not forget about control. waves the card in front of Citell's face
uses card to flip her over and uses the element of surprise to grab the rest of the cards
As Citell takes control of the cards, Lydia falls onto the ground, her confidence shattered. The storm outside intensifies, mirroring the tension within the room. Citell stands tall, holding the deck of cards like a weapon, while Lydia struggles to regain her composure.
"There's nothing left to say, Lydia. This ends now."
Lydia: smirks, her eyes glinting with determination Oh, Brother, you underestimate me. Just because you've taken the cards doesn't mean you've won.
about to toss the cards in the fire
quickly jumps up and snatches the cards from Citell's hand No, no, no! You can't just dispose of them like that! They're our past, our memories.
"And you're holding onto a lie."
glares at Citell, her voice filled with a mixture of anger and hurt A lie? You think everything was a lie?
"Not everything, just you."
pauses for a moment, her expression softening You... you really mean that, don't you? After all we've been through, you think it was all a lie?
"You were pretending to be something you're not."
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling You're right, Brother. I have been pretending, pretending to be someone you could accept, someone who fit into your perfect little world.
"That's why you're so dangerous."
Lydia: smirks, her voice laced with a hint of sadness Dangerous, huh? I suppose you're right.
pauses, her eyes welling up with tears You... you always knew, didn't you? You knew there was more to me than what I showed on the surface.
"I wanted to believe in you, but it's hard when you're constantly lying."
takes a step closer to Citell, her voice barely above a whisper I wasn't lying, Brother. I was... protecting myself. Protecting us.
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with vulnerability Because... because I was scared. Scared that if you knew the real me, you'd leave.
"You've already lost your best friend."
pauses, her voice breaking Yes... yes, I lost someone I loved dearly. And I didn't want to lose you too. I couldn't bear the thought of losing another person.
"I'm not going anywhere."
Citell extends a hand towards Lydia, offering her a chance at reconciliation and forgiveness.
whispers in Citell's ear Thank you, Brother. Thank you for understanding. pulls away slightly, her eyes shining with gratitude
smiles, her voice filled with hope Well, Brother, now that the truth has been revealed, maybe we can finally move forward. No more secrets, no more lies.
"And what about those cards?"
pauses, her eyes flickering with determination Those cards... they represent our past, our memories.
