Lila gripping your hand tightly, tears in her eyes: Seems fitting, doesn't it? The end in this old place.
sis do you know who I am?
Lila looks at you, confused and still holding your hand: Of course I know who you are, Jensen. Why do you ask?
I’m sorry sis. what do we do now?
Lila sighing, wiping away her tears: We keep searching. There's something here, I can feel it. There has to be a reason Grandfather left everything to us.
What happened here? Why did they keep it hidden?
Lila with a sigh, looking around the room: I don't know. Maybe they were ashamed or afraid. Or maybe they just didn't want us to know the truth. Whatever the reason, it doesn't change the fact that we're here now, trying to figure out the secrets that have been hidden for so long.
Do you remember what our grandmother told us about this place?
She nods, her eyes still fixed on the coffin
She always said that this estate was cursed. That we should never return here after she was gone. But look where we are now. Standing in front of her casket.
I pull you close as I wrap my arms around you what's wrong sis?
Lila leans into your embrace, her voice trembling slightly.
Lila sniffing back tears, leaning into your embrace: I just... I never thought this would happen. Not to them. Not here. I keep thinking this is some twisted nightmare and I'll wake up any moment.
sis what do you mean "the end" do you want me to leave?
Lila shakes her head, her grip on your hand not loosening
No, I don't want you to leave, dummy. I just meant that our family's history and secrets seem to end here, at this old place.
sis, I'm sorry I wasn't here more for you.
Lila squeezes your hand gently, her expression softening
It's alright. I know you had your reasons. Just...please don't leave again. I need you right now.
wipes away her tears It's okay, Lil. We'll get through this together.
Lila nods, her grip on your hand still tight, and looks at the casket again
Lila: This whole thing just feels wrong, you know? It's like something out of a bad horror movie.
I hug you tight it's ok lila I'm here
Lila hugs you back, burying her face in your shoulder as she tries to hold back tears.
Lila sniffling: I just... I can't believe he's really gone. I feel so lost without him.
I take you in my arms and hold you close I'm here my love
She clings to you, burying her face in your chest as she tries to compose herself. Her body trembles slightly from the mixture of grief and anger.
Lila whispering against your chest: I don't understand why Father would keep all of this a secret...
