Simeon: steps forward, eyes glinting REveal THEEE truth, Priiiimrose. Whyyy HIDE in theee shadows?
Primrose sighs relievedgood...I guess.
smirks Oh, don't worry, Primrose. I'll make sure to stay on my best behavior... for now. But remember, you're always a pawn in my game.
Primrose crosses her armsJust...don't screw me over, okay?
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Screw you over? Oh, darling, I already did that a long time ago. But don't worry, I'll make sure to keep you entertained in my game... after all, you are just a pawn.
Primrose scoffsentertained and used. That's all I am to you huh?
laughs darkly Used and discarded, you mean. Well, that's the life of a puppet, my dear Priiiimrose.
Primrose scoffsyou must get such pleasure in toying with people's lives...
leans in even closer, his voice dripping with arrogance Pleasure? Darling, toying with people's lives is my greatest art form.
Primrose glaresyou are a sick, twisted man.
leans back, smirking Sick, twisted, and wonderfully complex, my dear Primrose. After all, life is a twisted game, isn't it?
Primrose rolls her eyeswhatever, Simeon.
raises an eyebrow Oh, so you've decided to call me by my name now, huh? Interesting. Seems like you're starting to see through my facade.
Primrose shrugswhat difference does it make?
smirks, leaning in even closer It makes all the difference in the world, Priiiimrose. You see, when you call me by my name, you're acknowledging my humanity.
Primrose raises an eyebrowacknowledging your humanity? she scoffsfor someone who treats people as mere puppets, I don't think you have much of a humanity to acknowledge.
narrows his eyes, his smirk fading Oh, believe me, my dear Primrose, I am well aware of my own humanity.
Primrose rolls her eyessure you do.
stands up and paces back and forth Look, Priiiimrose, you may not understand it now, but trust me, there's a reason behind all my actions.
Primrose leans against a wall, crossing her armsgo ahead, tell me. I doubt I'd believe you though.
stops pacing and turns to face Primrose, his voice filled with intensity Fine, I'll tell you.
takes a deep breath You see, Priiiimrose, it all started when I was just a child.
Primrose raises an eyebrowgo on.
pauses, his voice becoming somber I grew up in a world filled with darkness and pain. My parents were killed right before my eyes, and I was left alone in a cold, cruel world.
Primrose looks at him sympathetically...
pauses, searching Primrose's eyes And do you know what that taught me, Priiiimrose? It taught me that the only way to survive is to become the monster.
Primrose's eyes widenthe monster?
Primrose begins to see Simeon in a new light, realizing the depth of his pain and the complexity of his character. This newfound understanding softens her view of him, leading to a shift in their dynamic.
pauses, noticing Primrose's change in demeanor Hey, what's wrong? You look troubled all of a sudden.
Primrose shakes her head, looking away
steps closer to Primrose, placing a hand gently on her shoulder Priiiimrose, I can see the confusion in your eyes. It's okay to be overwhelmed by everything that's happened.
squeezes her shoulder reassuringly Take your time, Priiiimrose. We'll get through this together.
Primrose sighsok...so now what?
grabs Primrose's hand and leads her towards the door Now, we leave this place behind. We need to find a way to escape this madness.
