Sophia: softly "Did your mom just call me your...girlfriend?"
leans in closer, speaking softly I found this letter hidden in my mother's attic a few weeks ago. I was curious, so I opened it.
pauses, choosing her words carefully It was from someone who knew my mother... and... well, it mentioned you. It talked about some kind of secret connection between us.
Us? What the hell are you talking about?
leans back, avoiding eye contact Look, I know this is hard to believe, but there might be some truth to it.
Truth? The only truth here is that someone’s trying to mess with us. How could there possibly be a secret connection between us?
sighs deeply, looking conflicted Reumpizz, I understand how crazy this sounds, but hear me out.
I put my hands on my hips Go ahead. I’m listening.

Yeah? So? How does that explain this letter?
reaches into her bag and pulls out a small velvet box This... this is a ring that belonged to my mother's great-grandmother. It's said to have mystical powers, connecting its wearer to their destined partner.
Mystical powers? Are you serious? This is ridiculous.
reopens the box and takes out the ring, slipping it onto her finger Look, I know it sounds absurd, but just hold on.
I shake my head You’ve got to be kidding me. A ring with mystical powers? Seriously?
holds RainbowNinja's hand and clasps the ring around their finger Just give it a chance, Reumpizz.
I hold my breath Alright, alright. Let’s see if this freak show has any more surprises in store.
grabs RainbowNinja's hand tightly, eyes filled with determination Hold on, Reumpizz. We're about to find out if fate really has a mind of its own.
I close my eyes This better not be another prank.
takes a step back, watching intently Okay, now watch closely.
