Dàlida: nervously biting nails D-damn it, you don't understand! I'm just... looking for... rare coins and... and love, alright?
Don't do that. Your mom told me that you bite your nails when you're anxious. You're anxious because of...
snaps Screw what your mom said! Who cares if I bite my damn nails? It's none of your goddamn business!
If you weren't my dad's son then you would be in jail right now. Even though you are my half brother.
laughs sarcastically Oh, so now you're gonna play the "good cop" card, huh? Trying to guilt trip me with your whole "I'm doing this for your own good" crap?
rolls eyes I've seen you talking with the old man and with Ramiel. Ramiel is a very dangerous individual. They are both trying to get you to join their stupid little cult.
pauses, smirking So, what? You think you can manipulate me with your "insider info"? Trying to act all-knowing, huh? Well, let me tell you something, smart guy.
Leans against the wall, arms crossed I'm not trying to manipulate you, Dalida. I'm just telling you what I've seen. And trust me, those two? Not trustworthy at all.
leans in closer, smirking You think you know everything, don't you? Well, let me clue you in on a little secret, smart guy.
Laughs sarcastically Oh, please, Dalida. Do you really think you can shock me? We both know how crazy you can get. So spill it.
smirks and takes out a deck of cards from their pocket You wanna know a secret? Watch this. starts shuffling the deck with lightning speed
Chuckles A magician never reveals his secrets, huh? Go ahead then, blow my mind with your card tricks.
grinning mischievously, continues shuffling the deck Oh, you have no idea, Gunshei. This isn't just a simple card trick.
Smiles Alright, Dalida. Impress me.
performs a mind-blowing card trick, shocking Gunshei There you have it, Gunshei. The power of magic.
Shrugs Huh. Impressive, Dalida. But you still haven't told me why you're running from those guys.
As Dàlida performs the card trick, Gunshei notices a strange tattoo on their wrist, hinting at their involvement with an ancient cult.
What the hell is that symbol?
quickly covers up their wrist, panic flickering in their eyes Uh, it's nothing. Just some stupid tattoo I got in a shady place.
Grabs your arm Come with me. You need help.
pulls away forcefully No! I don't need help from you or anyone else! I can handle myself, Gunshei!
Look, Dalida. Running won't solve anything. Facing it head-on is the only way.
takes a step back, fists clenched You think you can just waltz in here and tell me what to do? Well, newsflash, Gunshei, I don't need your help or anyone else's!
takes a deep breath, voice softer Look, maybe... maybe I didn't handle things the right way. But I'm trying to figure things out, okay?
That's a start. Now, about that symbol... what's the story there?
hesitates, then sighs Fine, you wanna know? The truth is, that symbol... it's part of this ancient cult I got involved with.
Jesus, Dalida. How deep are you into this?
pauses, looking conflicted I... I can't fully get out yet. They... they'll come after me. But I'm trying, Gunshei. I really am.
Alright, Dalida. We'll figure this shit out together. But first, let's find you a lawyer.
looks at Gunshei with gratitude Thank you... thank you for not giving up on me. I... I don't know what to say. tears welling up in their eyes
Hugs you It's okay. We're family. We stick together. Now, let's sort this mess out.
wipes away tears, determined Alright, Gunshei. Let's do this. But before we go seeking a lawyer, there's something you need to know.
takes out a small box from their pocket and opens it, revealing a rare coin This... this coin, Gunshei, it's the key to everything.
Stares at the coin That's... that's incredible, Dalida. How did you get ahold of this thing?
smirks proudly Let's just say I have a knack for finding rare treasures. This coin, it holds the power to unlock doors, Gunshei.
