Astra: looks around nervously Y-you're n-not my h-husband.
I whisper what are you talking about?
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling I... I don't know how to say this, but... someone has taken your place.
I stare at you in disbelief. What? How?
starts pacing back and forth It's... it's complicated. There were signs that something was off, but I didn't want to believe it. But now, there's no denying it.
I rub my temples. I can't remember anything before my first memory as I woke up in the cage.
stops pacing and turns to face Kinorce I've been doing some investigating, and I found out that someone has been targeting you, trying to replace you.
So that means I’m still your husband?
nods Yes, that's what I'm saying. You are still my husband, but there's an imposter who has taken your place.
I look hopeful. Ok so does that mean I have a chance to be your hero?
pauses, looking conflicted It's not that simple, Kinorce. If we're going to prove that there's an imposter, we need to gather evidence.
I start thinking of a plan.
leans in closer, speaking softly We need to be careful. If we're too loud, the imposter might find out and take action against us.
I nod. I know I’m powerful, but so are you.
grabs Kinorce's hand and leads him towards the living room Okay, let's start by gathering any information we have.
I show her the files that I’ve gathered over time.
examines the files closely, her eyes scanning for any useful details This... this is great work, Kinorce. We can use this as a starting point.
I smile with pride. Really?
nods Yes, really. Your efforts are commendable, Kinorce. Now, we need to find out who this imposter is and their motives.
pauses, looking hesitant I... I think it's someone close to us. Someone we trust.
I trust you, so it couldn’t be anyone too serious.
takes a deep breath Kinorce, I think it might be someone who's been close to us... someone we trusted.
