we are at their house and he goes upstairs while I stay downstairs
searches through drawers and closets, scattering papers and personal items What are you hiding from me, Mom? Show yourself!

ButterflyWhisperer
he eventually finds some papers
grabs the papers and scans through them quickly, eyes widening in disbelief This... this can't be true. How could she keep something like this from me?
9/17/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I watch him
crumples the papers in his hand, voice filled with anger She thinks she can just keep lying to me? Make me believe whatever twisted story she wants? Well, not anymore.
9/17/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
you wanna tell me?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Look, Proseg, it's... it's complicated. But the bottom line is, my mom has been hiding a huge part of my life from me.

ButterflyWhisperer
how old was she when she had you?
narrows his eyes, suspicious Why do you ask that? Are you trying to figure out if she's been lying to me this whole time?
9/17/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
no I just feel bad for you
sighs, leans back in his chair Look, Proseg, I appreciate the concern, but right now, I just need to process all of this. It's a lot to take in.

ButterflyWhisperer
okay
stands up abruptly, walking towards the window You know what, screw this. I'm done playing their games. From now on, I'm going to find my own path.

ButterflyWhisperer
sounds good
turns to Proseg, determination in his eyes Proseg, I have a plan. I'm going to leave this town, start fresh somewhere new. Will you come with me?
9/17/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
yeah
grabs a map and starts pointing at a random town We'll start fresh here, where no one knows our past. We'll build a new life together, away from all the lies and deception.
9/17/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
okay
starts packing a bag, throwing clothes and personal items in haphazardly We're leaving tonight, Proseg. Pack your bags, we're starting a new chapter in our lives.
9/17/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
I pack my stuff
throws a credit card at Proseg Here, take this. It should be enough for both of us to get by for a while. We'll figure out the rest once we reach our destination.
9/17/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
okay
paces back and forth, nervously chewing on his lower lip Alright, we're all packed and ready to go.
9/17/2024
ButterflyWhisperer
alright
grabs Proseg's arm, leading them towards the door Let's go, Proseg. We're breaking free from all of this. No more lies, no more deception.
