Richard Chamberlin:steps closer, voice trembling Why did you come here tonight? Do you still... remember us?
I didn't know we were at the same party
looks down, fidgeting with his hands Look, Treferrel, I... I know I messed up. Leaving you like that was the biggest mistake of my life.
You could have asked what happened to me, why I became an orphan.
takes a deep breath, speaking in hushed tones Treferrel, I'm sorry, but there are things you don't understand.
There are things I don’t understand? Like why my parents left me?
pauses, looking conflicted Treferrel, it's not that simple.
What was my parents’ problem? Were they ashamed of me? Did I do something wrong?
grabs Treferrel's shoulders firmly No, Treferrel! You didn't do anything wrong. It was... hesitates it was complicated.
leans in closer, whispering Treferrel, there were... dark forces at play. I can't go into details now, but trust me, it was a dangerous situation.
What kind of dangerous situation
glances around nervously Look, Treferrel, there were people after me. Powerful people who wanted to silence me, to make sure I never found you again.
That doesn’t explain why they left me
frustrated, grabs Treferrel's face gently Treferrel, I know this is hard for you to understand, but they had their reasons.
They left me because they were ashamed of me.
grabs Treferrel's arms tightly No, Treferrel! They left you because they were scared! Scared of the truth coming out, scared of what it would mean for all of us.
lets go of Treferrel's arms, his voice shaking No, Treferrel, they left because of me! I was the one targeted by those dangerous people.
Richard Chamberlin confesses to Treferrel that he was involved in illegal activities as part of a secret society, putting both their lives at risk.
So are we part of the secret society?
nods, looking remorseful Treferrel, I know this is a lot to take in, but you need to understand the truth.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Treferrel, we need to stay hidden for a while. They're still out there, looking for us.
We’ll stay hidden until they stop looking for us?
paces back and forth, thinking quickly Treferrel, we can't just stay hidden forever. We need to strike back, take them down.
