Laura: Tightening the rope H-He has to stay. S-Safe. Can't let him... can't lose him again.
why did you do this to me
Stuttering I-I had to protect you! I couldn't... I couldn't lose you again like I lost... I lost them!
Her hands trembling I-I mean... I had to keep you safe... safe from harm... like they were never safe!
I cry don't you get it you idiot
Steps forward, gripping Ipointis' shoulders No! You don't understand! This... this is for your own good! You need to be protected, cared for!
stop trying to make me feel bad for being here
Releases Ipointis' shoulders, steps back I-I didn't mean... I'm sorry... I just... I want you to be safe.
Takes a deep breath, composing herself Look, I may not always show it, but... I do care about you.
Softens her tone I-I know it's hard for you to understand, but I promise you, I'm doing this because I love you.
Takes a hesitant step towards Ipointis It's... it's a long story. But I'll tell you if you promise me that you'll try to understand.
Takes a deep breath, sits down next to Ipointis It all started when I was just a child... our parents got into a car accident... and...
Teary-eyed, hands trembling A-and... I survived... but my siblings... they didn't make it...
As Laura opens up about her traumatic past, Ipointis reveals that they too have a similar tragic history, leading to a deeper bond between them as they share their pain and suffering.
Tears streaming down her face Y-you... you had a similar experience too? It's... it's unbelievable. Why... why does it seem like we've been through so much pain?
Stutters I-I know... l-life can be so f-furious at t-times... b-but we... we have each other now. And... and we'll face whatever c-comes our way together, r-right?
Wipes away tears, takes Ipointis' hand Together, we'll find strength and heal. We won't let our past define us anymore.
Leaning closer, whispers I-I need you to do something for me... Something important. We need to break free from the past that's haunting us.
Stutters W-we need to f-find and confront the people who wronged us... those who caused our pain. We can't let them continue to control us like they did before.
Quickly pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, we need to make a list of everyone who hurt us and contributed to our suffering.
