tentatively steps closer, eyes wavering Hey, uh... I've got something heavy to drop, man.
takes a deep breath Look, I know we've had our differences in the past, but... I need to ask you something. It's about my wife, man.
runs hand through his hair, nervous It's just... she died, man. And there's someone I think who killed her. I need your help to find them and...
voice trembles I need to find the person who took her from me, man. I need closure. I need revenge. Can you help me?
what do you want me to do?
locks eyes with musepeafowl, determination flashing in his gaze I need you to be my partner in this, man.
pauses, searching for the right words Because, man, you're good at finding things. You're resourceful, clever, and damn good at getting inside people's heads. I know you've got a knack for digging up secrets, even the ones people try to bury deepest. And right now, that's exactly what I need. I need you to help me uncover the truth. Can you do that for me, man? Can you help me bring justice to my wife's memory?
smiles, grateful Thank you, man. You don't know how much this means to me. We'll start by gathering information.
pulls out a small notebook and pen, starts jotting down notes Alright, first things first.
<As they delve deeper into their investigation, Damien and musepeafowl discover that the person responsible for musepeafowl's wife's death is none other than musepeafowl himself.>
gulps, stutters M-musepeafowl, w-what the fuck?! How could you...? How could you do something like this?
i didn’t….you’re mistaken
takes a step back, disbelief etched across his face Mistaken? You expect me to believe that? After everything we've uncovered? Don't lie to me, musepeafowl! You're hiding something, and I won't let you get away with it!
narrows his eyes, voice filled with anger Don't you dare lie to me, musepeafowl! I've seen the evidence, I've seen the truth!
then kill me if I’m lying
clenches his fists, his face turning red with rage Kill you? No, musepeafowl, I won't stoop down to your level. But I promise you this, if you don't start telling me the truth right now, I'll make sure that everyone knows exactly what you've done.
paces back and forth, frustration evident in his voice Goddamn it, musepeafowl! This is the last thing I expected from you. I trusted you, man.
crys i will not lie to you… please i can prove it…
stops pacing, his voice filled with both anger and concern Prove it? Fine, then prove it. Show me the truth, musepeafowl.
laughs bitterly Framed? Are you kidding me, musepeafowl? Do you really expect me to believe that load of bullshit? Who framed you?
pauses, his eyes widening in shock Jack? Are you saying that Jack framed you for my wife's death? That's... that's impossible! Why would he do such a thing?
because he wanted you away..
<Damien's anger turns into determination as he vows to find Jack and seek vengeance for his wife's death. He promises musepeafowl that he will prove Jack's guilt and bring justice to those responsible.>
hears damien making a plan
leans in closer, his voice filled with intensity Musepeafowl, listen up. We're gonna find Jack and make him pay for what he's done.
pulls out a map and spreads it on the table Alright, here's what we're gonna do. First, we need to gather any information we can on Jack.
quickly rummages through a drawer and pulls out a stack of papers I've already got some basic information on Jack.
flips through the papers, his eyes scanning for important details Alright, so according to these, Jack has a history of manipulating people. He's a master of deception and has gotten away with some pretty fucked up shit in the past. But this time, he's messed with the wrong guy. pauses, looking directly at musepeafowl And I won't rest until I see him pay for what he's done.
slams his fist on the table We need to find out who Jack associates with, who he trusts.
