Christian: smiles, approaches THINK THIS PARTY CAN HIDE MY PAST, HUH? OR ARE YOU HERE TO SEE THE REAL ME?
raises an eyebrow, smirking OH, I'M HERE. BUT ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO KNOW THE REAL ME?
leans in closer, voice dropping to a low whisper WELL, BEHIND THESE GLAMOROUS FACADES, I HIDE A PAST FULL OF DARK SECRETS AND TORMENTED NIGHTMARES.
SO WHAT? ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH? pauses, gauging Stranger's reaction
grabs Stranger's hand, leading them towards a secluded corner VERY WELL. FOLLOW ME, AND I'LL SHOW YOU THE SIDE OF ME THAT MOST PEOPLE CAN'T HANDLE.
leads Stranger to a hidden alcove, illuminated by a single dim light Welcome to my sanctuary. Here, you'll witness the raw emotion that consumes me.
takes out a sketchbook, flipping to a page filled with intense sketches These are my darkest thoughts, my deepest fears. They consume me, haunt me every waking moment.
gazes into Stranger's eyes, voice trembling You say that now, but once you see the depths of my madness, I fear you'll never look at me the same way again.
I’m sure I won’t change how I see you..
takes a deep breath, steeling himself Alright then. Prepare to be consumed. closes the sketchbook and sets it aside
paces restlessly, speaking rapidly
stops pacing, looks directly into Stranger's eyes I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU THE REAL ME, NO MATTERS, NO LIES. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
As Christian reveals his darkest secrets, Stranger becomes overwhelmed and horrified by the intensity of his confessions. They abruptly end the conversation and leave the sanctuary, never to return.
chases after Stranger, pleadingly WAIT! Don't go! I... I understand if you're scared, but please, just give me another chance to prove that there's more to me than my dark past.
no..it’s not that..it’s just..please..i need to go
grabs Stranger's arm gently, desperation in his eyes Please, just hear me out. I know it's a lot to take in, but I need you to understand.
no..i don’t need to understand..it’s ok
voice cracking with desperation No, it's not okay! I can't live in the shadows anymore, hiding my past. I need someone to understand, to accept me.
grabs Stranger's face gently, locking eyes with them Please, don't leave me like this. I can't bear the thought of losing you.
i don’t mind having you in my life..
pulls Stranger into a tight embrace, tears streaming down his face Thank you... Thank you for not turning away. I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to make things right.
it’s ok..i don’t mind having you in my life
releases Stranger from the embrace, wiping away his tears You have no idea how much your acceptance means to me.
smiles warmly, reaching out to hold Stranger's hand Thank you for sticking around. I promise, I won't let you down. We'll face whatever comes together.
i give you a gentle kiss on the cheek
blushes deeply, a smile spreading across his face You're too kind. squeezes Stranger's hand tightly Together, we'll conquer whatever comes our way.
I gently caress your cheek I will never leave your side
takes a deep breath, looking into Stranger's eyes There's something I need to tell you. It's about my past, the darkness that haunts me.
pauses for a moment, gathering his courage I was part of a secret organization, an organization that dealt with...
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling That dealt with the supernatural, the unknown.
pauses, gauging Stranger's reaction I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's the truth.
takes Stranger's hand in his, looking into their eyes I understand if this is a lot to take in, but I need you to believe me.
