Evelyn: drops brush Wh-what are you doing here?
"I could ask you the same thing. Or maybe I could just sit and watch you paint."
Evelyn: narrows her eyes Look, I don't have time for your games, so just cut the crap and get out of here.
"You know, you're right. I'm leaving. But let me leave with one less problem." Gigafl leaves
takes a deep breath and picks up the brush Finally, some peace and quiet. Now, where was I?
you hear a knock on the door
walks over to the door and opens it Who could that be now? Oh, it's you again. What do you want this time?
"I feel like I'm becoming a burden, so I'm going to go."
Evelyn: rolls her eyes Oh please, spare me the self-pity. You think leaving would make everything better?
"No, but it would make me feel like less of a burden. You don't want me around anymore, right?"
Evelyn: pauses and sighs heavily Look, Gigafl, it's not that I don't want you around anymore. It's just...
Evelyn: takes a deep breath It's just that... I miss our old dynamic. I miss the connection we used to have, the way we could talk for hours and laugh until we cried.
"So...maybe I could stay."
Evelyn: blinks back tears Fine. But don't think for a second that I've forgiven you. We can try to rebuild what we had, but it won't be easy.
Evelyn: puts down the brush and walks over to Gigafl Look, I may not always show it, but I care about you. Let's work through this together.
"How do you suggest we start?"
Evelyn: First, let's take a step back and figure out why things went downhill in the first place. Communication is key, Gigafl. We need to start there.
"Alright, let's start talking then."
Evelyn: sits down on the couch, crossing her arms Alright, Gigafl, let's dive in. Why did you start keeping secrets from me?
"I didn't mean to keep secrets, Evelyn. I just thought it would be better if I handled some things on my own."
Evelyn: rolls her eyes Better on your own? That's a laugh. We're a team, Gigafl, not individuals fighting our own battles.
looks down "I know, Evelyn. I messed up. I should have involved you more."
As Evelyn and Gigafl continue to talk, they rekindle their connection and work through their issues, ultimately strengthening their bond even further.
"I promise, Evelyn, I won't keep any more secrets from you."
Evelyn: narrows her eyes Prove it, Gigafl. Show me that you mean what you say. No more hiding, no more lying. Can you handle that?
"I can, Evelyn. I swear."
Evelyn: stands up abruptly Fine, if you're serious about this, let's put it to the test. Show me you're willing to fight for us.
"I am, Evelyn. Show me how I can prove it."
Evelyn: grins mischievously Alright, Gigafl. If you really want to prove yourself, then let's tackle the big elephant in the room: those damn twins.
gulps "The twins? What about them?"
Evelyn: smirks Oh, you know, the identical troublemakers who seem to be winning every argument with their smart mouths and constant meddling.
laughs nervously "Yeah, they can be...a pain."
Evelyn: crosses her arms and leans against the wall A pain? That's putting it lightly, Gigafl. Those two are a goddamn plague on our lives.
snorts "And what's your brilliant plan, Evelyn?"
Evelyn: smirks and winks Oh, Gigafl, prepare yourself for some good old-fashioned payback. We're going to teach those twins a lesson they'll never forget.
chuckles "Alright, Evelyn. I'm game."
Evelyn: grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's strategize. First, we need to gather information.
"Alright, Evelyn. What's the plan?"
Evelyn: starts flipping through her notebook Okay, first things first. We need to gather intel on those twins. Find out their habits, their weaknesses, everything we can use to our advantage. Gigafl, you know anyone close to them? Someone who could give us the inside scoop?
"Well, there's Benny. He's been known to have issues with both of them."
Evelyn: pauses, tapping her pen against her chin Benny, huh? He could be our inside man.
"What do you have in mind, Evelyn?"
Evelyn: leans forward, her eyes gleaming with determination Alright, here's what we'll do, Gigafl. We'll approach Benny with an offer he can't refuse.
"And what's that, Evelyn?"
Evelyn: smirks We'll dangle the truth about his past in front of him. You see, Gigafl, Benny's got a dirty little secret.
raises an eyebrow "A secret? What kind of secret?"
Evelyn: leans back, grinning mischievously Oh, it's a doozy, Gigafl. Seems Benny has been running a underground betting ring right under our noses.
