leads you through the crumbling hallway I've missed you... a lot.
What brings you here after all this time? Is it guilt or something else?
Guilt has nothing to do with it. I'm here for something... important. pauses Can we talk in private?
nods and leads you into a dimly lit room This place holds a lot of memories for us... both good and bad.
And what memory are you trying to revisit? The one where you turned your back on me, or the one where we stood together against everything?
takes a deep breath, looking down The latter... I want to make things right between us, mchromosome. There's something I need to show you.
You've got my attention, but that's not easily won back. Show me what you've got.
opens a concealed panel in the wall, revealing a hidden compartment filled with old photographs and letters This is our history... our true history.
And why should I believe anything you say now? After all, you left me behind without a word.
takes a step closer, looking directly into mchromosome's eyes I left because I thought it was the only way to keep you safe.
Safe from what? Do you think I would have let anything happen to us?
pauses, then speaks softly There were forces at play that you couldn't understand... forces that threatened everything we had built.
takes a deep breath They were dangerous people, mchromosome. They were after something... something that could change the course of history.
And what makes you think they're still after it? Or that it even still exists?
leans forward, placing a hand on mchromosome's shoulder It doesn't matter if it still exists or if they're still after it.
Why not? Explain yourself better.
pulls out a worn leather journal from the compartment and flips through the pages This... this belonged to our father.
Our father? But he died years ago...
pauses, voice trembling Yes, he died... but not before entrusting me with this journal and the weight of our family's legacy.
Legacy? What does that mean exactly?
takes a deep breath, opens the journal and points at a specific page This... this is our destiny.
What? Some cryptic message about our destiny? Don't play games with me, Drake.
flips to another page in the journal, pointing at a faded map This is where we need to go. It's the key to unlocking our true potential.
squints at the map Where exactly is this place?
closes the journal, looks mchromosome in the eyes I won't reveal the location just yet. We need to prove ourselves first.
Prove ourselves? Are you serious?
stands up straight, towering over mchromosome Yes, I am serious. This journey won't be easy, and there will be risks.
We've faced worse. Let's do this.
holds out the journal Take this. Study it. Learn everything you can about our legacy and our destiny. Prepare yourself, mchromosome.
takes the journal, flipping through its pages So many secrets... How do we even start unraveling this?
paces back and forth, deep in thought We start by retracing our father's steps. The journey will be long and treacherous, but we must push on.
Alright, let's hit the road then. Lead the way, Drake.
stands still, his eyes narrowing as he looks at mchromosome No. There's something else we need to settle before we continue.
pauses, takes a deep breath Before we embark on this journey, we need to address the elephant in the room.
And what's that supposed to mean?
points a finger at mchromosome You. Your choices. The path you've chosen. It's time to face the consequences of your actions.
So you're finally going to confront me about Sarah?
narrows his eyes, his voice cold and unwavering Sarah was just the beginning. There's something much bigger at play here, mchromosome.
Look, Drake, I get it. I messed up, okay? But we're here now, aren't we? Trying to fix things. What more do you want from me?
pauses, his expression softening I want you to understand, mchromosome. I want you to see the truth.
