Lila: twirling her hair We're getting MARRIED tomorrow, at dawn, remember?! At the cliffside chapel! Excited much?!
...I had almost forgotten
grabs PearlMelancholy's hand WHAT?! No way you forgot! You've been busy, I get it, but this is important! We need to talk details!
"busy? what's there to talk about? your wedding plans?"
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, don't play dumb with me, Pearl! This isn't just about some wedding plans. It's about our future, together!
"you mean us being twins?"
gives an exasperated sigh No, Pearl, I mean OUR future, together! As a married couple! We need to discuss things like...
interrupts Like where we'll live, whether we want kids or not, and how we'll handle our finances! Can you see why these things are important?
"we'll get all that sorted out later"
throws up her hands in frustration Later?! Pearl, you can't just brush everything off like it's nothing! We need to plan ahead!
"no, it's not nothing; it's just that I don't want to jinx anything"
steps closer, grabbing Pearl's shoulders Listen, Pearl, I understand that things might be overwhelming right now, but running away from reality won't solve anything!
"I'm not running away from reality, I'm just trying to enjoy ourselves for a bit before all of this sinks in"
crosses her arms Enjoy ourselves? Pearl, this is our life we're talking about! Our future! We can't just pretend everything will be fine if we ignore the details!
"what's done is done, and I'm not letting you ruin my good time with your endless planning" she leans over, grabbing a beer
Lila feels frustrated and hurt by Pearl's dismissal of her concerns, leading to a heated argument between the sisters.
"so let's sit here and drink beers, shall we?"
snatches the beer from Pearl's hand Fine, but don't think this means I've given up on making sure we're prepared for whatever comes next!
"oh no, I know you're still in full-on planner mode"
takes a deep breath, composing herself Alright, Pearl. Since you're not ready for the serious talk right now, then let's enjoy our beers and moment together.
sits down next to Pearl, taking a sip of her beer So, while we're enjoying this peaceful moment, let me ask you something.
looks into Pearl's eyes What are your biggest fears about this marriage? Be honest with me, Pearl. I want to understand what's going on inside your head.
"what's your biggest fear?"
leans back, gazing at the night sky You know, Pearl, I've always had this fear... a fear of being alone.
"well, lucky for you, we're twins; there's no way either of us is ever being alone"
puts down her beer and grabs Pearl's hand It's not enough to just have someone there, Pearl. I want more than just companionship.
