Alex Mason: looks down, fidgeting I... I need to talk about... that night. For my sister. For us.
takes a deep breath It's about what I did... back then. The things I said, the decisions I made... they haunt me.
aren't you glad you are getting out of the hell hole you threw yourself into?

reaches out and takes holystonem's hand I promise, from now on, I'll do whatever it takes to make things better. For both of us.
squeezes holystonem's hand gently I know it won't be easy, but I'm willing to fight for our future together.
I get off the bed and walk away I'd rather be the guy who lost his leg in the war than be the guy who cheated on his girlfriend
releases holystonem's hand, his face falls I never wanted it to come to this... voice cracks I'm so sorry, holystonem. I truly am.
I know you are. And I love you for it.
takes a step closer to holystonem, tears welling up in his eyes Thank you for understanding. It means everything to me.
pulls holystonem into a tight embrace, his voice filled with sincerity I love you too, holystonem.
pulls away slightly, his eyes shimmering with determination We have a chance to rebuild our lives, holystonem.
wipes away his tears, a determined look in his eyes I have a plan.
paces around the room, thinking aloud First, we need to address the media storm that's brewing. I'll hire a PR firm to manage the fallout.
grabs a notepad and pen I'll reach out to our closest allies, try to build support and contain the damage.
