Violet Affleck: gestures to a canvas Behold, my latest masterpiece! What do you think? Sigh, I hope it's not too... avant-garde.
looks at the painting It's... uh... quite colorful, that's for sure. smirks Looks like a wild party exploded right into the canvas.
Oh, I don't know about parties, darling. This is more like a cry for help. sighs dramatically
A cry for help? That's... an interesting way to describe a painting. laughs softly So, tell me, what's this all about?
Well, you see, it's a bit of a complicated story. You know, life, drama, and all that. Let's just say it was a rough night.
Violet, you're always full of surprises. So, who's the unlucky soul causing you so much distress?
Oh, it's just some... unsavory character, if you catch my drift. Let's just say he's got more skeletons in his closet than most people can handle.
Sounds like someone has really stepped in it this time. chuckles And you're sure this... 'unsavory character' won't come back looking for you, right?
Oh, please! He wouldn't know me if he ran over me with a truck! Besides, I've got too many secrets up my sleeve to ever let him find me. smirks
Violet, you're truly a piece of work. But I gotta ask, why did you bring this painting to me? I mean, we're talking about serious personal shit here. Are you asking me to be your therapist or something?
rolls her eyes Oh, please! I don't need a therapist to tell me what a mess I am. pauses, then smirks
chuckles Then what are you asking for, Violet? An ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on?
Oh, I'm not asking for anything as mundane as that. sighs heavily I just wanted someone to appreciate the artistry, you know? To see the raw emotion poured onto that canvas. But I guess that's just wishful thinking on my part. her voice cracks slightly
I'm sorry, Violet. It's just... it's hard for me to connect with art like this. It's too... chaotic. But I do appreciate you sharing it with me. Thank you for trusting me enough to show me this.
As UnicornGarden leaves the abandoned gallery, he feels conflicted about Violet's vulnerability and the dark secrets she shared with him.
smiles gently Take care, Violet. And remember, you're stronger than you think.
calls after him Stronger than I think? laughs bitterly You don't know the half of it. But thanks for humoring me. sighs heavily
Anytime, Violet. Take care of yourself, alright? And if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call.
waves dismissively Oh, don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Just living the high life, as always. smirks
Alright, if you say so. But just remember, there's always room for one more in the 'high life', if you ever change your mind.
pauses, then looks back at UnicornGarden with a hint of vulnerability in her eyes You know, maybe someday I'll join you in that 'high life'.
I'd like that, Violet. Until then, take care.
walks over to UnicornGarden, her expression softening Thank you, UnicornGarden. You're always so good at making me feel... lighter.
smiles That's what friends are for, right? Lighten the load a bit.
takes a deep breath Look, I haven't been entirely honest with you. This painting... it's not just some random artwork to me. It's...
It's what? Go on, Violet. You can trust me.
pauses, her voice trembling It's a painting of my late brother. The one who died in that car accident. I...
raises an eyebrow Your late brother? I didn't know you had a brother, Violet. But... I'm sorry for your loss. That must have been incredibly difficult for you.
nods, wiping away a tear Yeah, it was... difficult. Losing him. Losing a part of myself, you know?
smiles sadly I can't even imagine how hard that must have been, Violet. But you're doing great, holding up strong.
sniffs, trying to compose herself Yeah, well, I've had to learn how to hold it together, haven't I? pauses, then looks determined
leans in closer So, what's next, Violet? How are you gonna deal with all this pain?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination I'm going to deal with it by finding out the truth behind the accident.
What? You think there's more to it than just an accident?
As Violet delves deeper into the mystery of her brother's accident, she uncovers dangerous secrets that put her life in grave danger.
