Conrad: Grimaces Small?! You dare?!
snarls Sorry won't cut it! How could you doubt my equipment like that? crosses arms, glaring
it's not about that i just want you to be better
throws his hands up in frustration Better?! Better?! I don't need your pity or your shallow attempts to make me feel better!
I know i'm trying to help
pacing back and forth Help?! Is that what you call it?! pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't need your help.
ok then i won't say anything
grabs a pillow and throws it across the room That's the problem! You shouldn't have to say anything at all! paces towards the window
opens the curtains forcefully Sunlight! I need sunlight! steps outside, stretching his arms towards the sky I won't let this darkness consume me.
i walk out the door and i give him a red rose
snatches the red rose, smirking A rose? Is that supposed to make up for everything? waves the rose dismissively
no i'm still sorry i'm trying to make you happy
narrows his eyes suspiciously Happy? Do you really think a simple apology and a stupid rose can erase the pain you caused? crosses arms, skeptical
No, I'm trying to show you that I'm sincere.
takes a step closer, holding the rose between his fingers Sincere? You want me to believe that? pauses, searching resigned's eyes Prove it.
What do you want me to do?
Conrad demands that resigned prove their sincerity by making a significant change in their behavior.
i start living in a different house
pauses, looking conflicted You...you moved out? furrows brows But why? Why would you leave me like this? voice tinged with hurt
because i think it'll make you happy
grabs resigned's arm tightly Happy? You think leaving me alone is what's going to make me happy? shakes them You're so misguided, it's sickening!
releases resigned's arm, taking a step back Upset? You have no idea how much you've upset me. takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself
pauses, looking down at his feet Divorce? No...no, I don't want a divorce. sighs heavily I still love you, despite everything.
