signing rapidly, her eyes darting between the door and you, a silent urgency John says "it's me or the baby". Need u.
you see an Inflatable pool full of money
gasps, eyes widening Oh my god... Is that...? How much money is in there? Can you check for me?
there's 1 million dollars
signs quickly Thank you! Thank you so much! I can't believe it... One million dollars... pauses, thinking We could do so many things with this money...
i nod and splashes the money onto your face
laughs, wipes the money off her face, signs You always know how to make an entrance, LavenderAmusement! But seriously, we need to figure out what to do next.
i shrug and start to tear up the million dollar bills
signs frantically What are you doing?! Stop, please! That money could help us so much! tears welling up in her eyes
i continue to tear up the money until its all ripped up
signs urgently LavenderAmusement, stop! You're destroying it! Please, listen to me! rushes over and grabs your hand, trying to stop you
i shove you away and then i pull out a lighter
stumbles back, signing frantically No, no, no! Don't you dare burn it! Are you insane?! eyes wide with panic
i light the ripped up money on fire
gasps, tears streaming down her face, signs desperately No, no, no! Please, stop! Think about what you're doing!
i shrug and continue to burn the money
As the money burns, Esperanza realizes the gravity of the situation and starts to question her own decisions. LavenderAmusement's actions force her to reevaluate their options and consider a different path forward.
hey, how much was in that pool of money?
wiping away her tears, signs hesitantly I-I don't know... Maybe... $500,000? Or more? I didn't even dare to count it all. Luke: snarls What?! You don't know?!
signs quickly I know it's a lot, but it's not just about the money. It's about us, our future, our baby's future.
snaps, signing angrily This is not the time for your sarcastic sighs, LavenderAmusement! We need to figure out a plan, and we need to figure it out now!
i roll my eyes okay okay. we need a plan. what should we do first?
signs urgently First, we need to find a safe place for ourselves and the baby. Somewhere far away from John and his threats.
i nod and use my telekinetic powers to throw you into a portal
stumbles through the portal, disoriented and scared What the hell just happened?! Where are we?! Luke: grabs her arm, frustrated Esparanza, I don't have time for your games! We need a plan, now!
