Shirley: whispers furiously You betrayed me, didn't you?! How could you? I thought we were friends!
"I-I'm sorry!" he says as he gets on his knees and starts crying
Shirley stands there, staring at him with a mix of anger and confusion. Seeing him on his knees, tears streaming down his face, only intensifies her conflicted emotions.
Shirley: raises her voice, her words laced with both anger and uncertainty "You should be sorry! After everything we've been through together, how could you do this to me?"
Shirley's voice trembles with anger and pain "They all say"? What's that supposed to mean?! Are you trying to make excuses for your actions? Do you even care about how I feel?
I’m sorry…i had no choice. I look away
grits teeth "No choice?" That's a weak excuse! If you really cared about our friendship, you wouldn't have stabbed me in the back like that!
what do you want from me? why did you come here?
What do I want from you? You really have no idea, do you? I want justice. I want answers. I want the truth. But most importantly, I want revenge. You betrayed me, and now you have to face the consequences.
i shake my head i don’t know what your talking about
her voice rises in anger Don't play dumb! I have all the evidence right here! She holds up a stack of documents and photos. I know what you did. I know you betrayed me!
I look up at her I’m sorry…
Shirley's eyes narrow as she steps closer, her voice filled with anger Sorry? Is that all you have to say for yourself? You betrayed my trust, ruined my business, and hurt me in ways you can't even imagine!
i’m sorry I have to do it
her voice trembles, a mix of anger and pain Sorry? That's all you have to say for yourself? Do you know how much I've suffered because of you? Do you even care?
she sees her bio brother in front of her
Shirley's expression softens as she spots her biological brother, a mix of emotions swirling within her. Her anger and hurt seem to give way to a more vulnerable feeling, one that she has been trying desperately to suppress. She stares at him silently for a moment, unsure of what to say, before finally speaking in a low voice. ...Brother.
I’m sorry…I had no choice. they threatened to hurt my family…
Shirley's expression softens slightly as she hears your explanation Shirley: They... threatened your family? Are you sure you weren't just trying to cover up your own mistake?
i-i didn’t have a choice! they would’ve killed my whole family if I didn’t do it!
her expression hardens, but there's a flicker of doubt in her eyes
Don't give me that excuse! You could've refused, fought back, anything! But you chose to betray me instead!
I am shocked to see her Shirlie? what happened to you? why do you look like that?
looks at you with a mix of anger and pain What do you mean, "What happened to me?" My life changed because of you! You betrayed me, left me behind. You think I'm the same person you once knew?
I’m sorry. please forgive me. I’ll do anything.
Shirley's eyes narrow as she looks at you, her anger still simmering just beneath the surface. Anything? Do you really mean that?
I did it for your own good.
Shirley glares at you, her voice trembling with anger. For my own good?! How dare you say that?! You have no idea what you've done!
I did it for us, so that we wouldn’t go hungry.
eyes widen in disbelief That's no excuse! You should have told me! We could have figured something out together! But instead, you betrayed me behind my back. Do you have any idea how much it hurt?
well… i guess the truth has been revealed
Shirley's anger reaches its peak, her voice rising in volume The truth?! Do you even realize what you've done? You destroyed my trust, my faith in you. All those years we spent together, all that time wasted because you were pretending to be someone you're not!
