Lydia: Twirling hair I-I just found out. M-My p-parents sold me.
takes a deep breath Yeah, they... they did it because they needed the money. But still, it's like... they sold their own flesh and blood. It hurts, you know?
sniffs, tears welling up in her eyes H-how could they do this to me? I... I was just a baby!
wait so the parents on your birth certificate aren’t your real parents?
nods, wiping away a tear Yeah... they're not my real parents. They took me in when I was a kid, but they never treated me like their own.
what happened when you found out?
sniffles, looks down at her hands I... I confronted them. I made sure they knew how hurt I was. They just didn't care, though.
damn… if I was your parents I would’ve kept it a secret..
sniffs, wipes her tears Y-you think? I wish they had too. Maybe then I wouldn't feel so lost, so... betrayed.
whoa dude you’re shaking. want me to get you a water?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Yeah, maybe a glass of water would help. Thanks, East.
takes a moment to compose herself, then looks up at easterlymuse with determination You know what? I'm tired of feeling lost.
stands up abruptly I'm going to find my real parents. I won't let them keep hiding from me any longer.
grabs her phone and starts searching for information I need to find out everything I can about my real parents.

nods and quickly grabs easterlymuse's laptop, typing furiously Okay, let's see what we can find. pauses Wait... there's something here.
