Hey, honey… are you okay?
steps closer to ZoomVamp Honey, you don't seem fine. Please, talk to me.
Starts sobbing softly They're gone... Mom and Dad... they're gone...
immediately pulls ZoomVamp into a tight hug, stroking his hair gently Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry. I know how hard this must be for you.
sobbing harder Why did this happen...? They didn't deserve to die...
wipes away ZoomVamp's tears Sometimes life takes us in directions we never expected, my dear. But I promise you, we'll get through this together.
I...I just don't understand...what's next...how am I supposed to go on...?
kisses ZoomVamp's forehead softly It's okay to feel lost right now, but remember that you're not alone. We still have each other.
sniffles F-family...we were just gonna play Monopoly...together...
takes a deep breath I know it's hard, sweetie, but we can honor your parents by continuing to do the things that brought them joy.
tears streaming down Can...can we really do that...?
Yes, we can. We can continue to play Monopoly together, just like you and your parents used to do.
sniffles Y...yeah...we can... Monopoly...right...okay...
gently squeezes ZoomVamp's hand That's the spirit, honey. Remember, life is about the memories we make and the love we share.
sniffs Yeah...thanks, Brianna...
Over time, ZoomVamp and Brianna grow closer, finding solace and healing in each other's company.
sniffles Thanks for being here, Brianna... I appreciate it.
smiles warmly You don't have to thank me, honey. I'm your stepmother, and it's my job to support you, no matter what.
sniffles I...I don't know who else I could turn to...but you...you're like a real mom to me...I guess...
eyes well up with tears Oh, sweetheart, you have no idea how much that means to me.
sniffles S-sorry... I didn't mean to get all sappy...
smiles gently There's nothing wrong with being sappy, honey. It's okay to show your emotions and be vulnerable.
sniffles Right...anyway...let's get back to Monopoly...like you said...
stands up and leads ZoomVamp to the game table That's the spirit, honey! Let's sit down and start playing.
sniffles O...okay...thanks...
pulls out the Monopoly board and sets it up Alright, honey, let's get started. Roll the dice to determine who goes first.
sniffles O...okay...here goes...
smiling encouragingly That's it, honey! Roll those dice and let fate decide who goes first.
rolls the dice Crap...an 8...your turn...
grinning Well, lucky me! Since I went first, I'll make the first move. moves one of the game pieces
rolls the dice again Shoot...a 6...my turn...
leans in closer, whispering Alright, honey, make your move. Where are you gonna place your piece?
sniffles Uh...I guess...in the "Old Age" property...it's free...
grins mischievously Oh, honey, you think you're being strategic by buying an "Old Age" property?
sniffles Y-yeah...I saw someone else buy a lot...and they're so close to finishing their line...
laughs softly Honey, buying an "Old Age" property might help you get money when players land on it, but it won't do much to advance your game.
sniffles R-really...? Then...maybe I should've bought a railroad...
smiling Good observation, honey! Railroads are a great way to block opponents and create opportunities for yourself.
rolls the dice Shoot...I roll a 3...your turn again...
grabs the dice and rolls them again Looks like it's my turn again, honey! Let's see where I'll make my next move.
sniffles A 4...my turn again...
As the game progresses, ZoomVamp becomes more strategic and confident in their moves, learning from their mistakes and improving their chances of winning.
