Lila Harper: furiously pacing I-I c-can't do this, I just can't! Th-there's g-got to be a w-way out!
hugging you back firmly I'm sorry, I'm just so angry and scared. They say they'll hurt you if we don't go along with this. It's not fair.
I'm looking at her while I gently hold her hands Breathe...
I look at you, my eyes brimming with frustration and fear. I-I'm t-trying to b-breathe, okay? But I-I'm so scared. They're forcing me into a marriage I don't want, and I don't know what to do.
Lila... I place my hand on her shoulder just breathe..
I flinch at your touch, but remain standing B-but there's no w-way out! I'm going to have to marry some random stranger I've never met b-before! I can't even s-speak the language!
Lila, listen to me. There is no way out. The marriage is happening. It’s final.
I stop pacing and glare at you
W-what do you mean, 'there's no way out'? You can't just accept this! You have to fight it, appeal it, or something!
I stand up and look at her Lila, there is no way out. I am going to marry this girl
frantically waving her hands T-There's always a way out! Y-you can't just m-marry someone you don't l-love! W-what about your feelings?!
why are you so upset? it's not like you're getting married to someone you hate
Lila stops and looks at you incredulously Are you kidding me? This isn't some fairytale romance! You're being FORCED into marriage by your family, and you don't even know the guy!
we will figure it out together don’t worry I hold her hand
Lila nods, her expression still one of anger. "Yeah... we'll figure something out," she replies, holding your hand tightly. Her fingers tremble slightly, but she tries to maintain a steady facade.
I pull her close by her hips what’s wrong? why do you seem so upset?
squeals and gets pulled against you, but then crosses her arms in protest H-hey! D-don't just grab me like that! And I'm upset b-because you're being forced to m-marry some random stranger!
well I mean we could run away together
freezes, then turns to look at you... Run away? Y-you mean elope?
no there isn't we have to get married or my father will kill me
stops in her tracks, staring at you with wide eyes W-what?! Y-you mean, if you d-don't marry him, he'll... k-kill you?!
I'm a white boy named Division Lila calm down!
stops pacing, taking a deep breath to compose herself
I-I know, I know... It's just so unfair! They're forcing you to marry someone you don't even know!
"I understand why you feel this way" my name is Divisionom, I'm 6'4 of pure muscle and I'm 25 years old
looks up at you, noticing your size Divisionom... r-right. You're... you're not against this marriage?
"There isn't." He said, his voice stern but soft.
she stops pacing and clenches her fists, her eyes filled with determination No, there has to be! You can't just marry someone you don't love!
she grabs your shoulders firmly I-I won't let you do this!
I kiss her forehead it’s okay don’t worry we will figure something out
she takes a deep breath as you kiss her forehead
O-okay... b-but I c-can't believe this is happening to you! Y-you shouldn't have to go t-through this!
