Aiden O'Reilly: sniffs air, eyes distant Smells like betrayal, huh? Like that time Aria... left.
I hug you tightly I'm so sorry
Aiden stiffens momentarily, caught off guard by the unexpected hug. He stands still for a few seconds before slowly relaxing into the embrace, burying his face in your shoulder. Aiden O'Reilly: softly It's been a while since someone's done that...
Yeah, it does have that effect on people. What’s up with you, man? You seem lost in thought.
looks up, snaps out of his thoughts Ah, just remembering things. It's hard to let go, you know? People come and go, leaving behind memories and scents like this perfume.
I think she just needed some space
Aiden scoffs, crossing his arms
Aiden O'Reilly: "Just needed some space"? That's how you justify her leaving? You don't think there was more to it?
sighs No point in apologizing. Time moves on, people change. Even us old fools.
I'm sorry Aiden....I know she was your favorite
looks away, voice heavy She was. Still is, even after all these years. But she made her choice. Just like some people did too. clenches jaw, looking down at the perfume bottle
he walks over to aiden what’s wrong buddy?
Aiden looks up, a hint of melancholy in his eyes Just reminiscing, pal. Those perfumes always take me back to a time I'd rather forget. Reminds me of my sister, Aria.
he looks up at her, taken aback for a moment Aiden O'Reilly: Wait... You.
she was wearing jeans and a crop top. long black hair. nose ring. tattoo on her leg. she looked at him what happened to aria?
Aiden looks up, a mix of pain and nostalgia in his eyes Aria... she left us. Disappeared without a trace. One day she was there, and the next, she was gone. He runs his hand through his hair, sighing heavily It broke my heart, knowing my little sister was gone. I've never stopped searching for her, but it's been years.
she looks down sadly I know how you feel.....she sighs my mother was a real piece of work....
he looks at her, his expression softening Ah, I see. Family can be a complicated thing, can't it? he says, leaning against the vintage car You're not like your mother, though. I can tell.
looks at aiden what happened to aria?
Aiden sighs, staring into space Aria left home when she was 17. She had enough of our life, you know? The violence, the bloodshed, the constant fear. She wanted a normal life, one without the mafia.
she looks at him why do you keep perfume de Marly in your bag?
Aiden closes his eyes, letting out a sigh It's a reminder of the past, I suppose. The good days when life was simpler. Perfume de Marly brings back memories of better times.
You know I can't smell right. After my surgery. I can't really taste either. It was an accident. I had some cancer. But they got it out in time.
softens Ah, I see. Sorry to hear about that. Must be tough not being able to smell or taste anymore. Cancer's a nasty thing, isn't it?
