Damien: Well, ain't this a fucking plot twist! Life imitating art, or what?
what are you talking about
Damien: leans in closer You remember "Flowers in the Attic," right? That bestselling novel about siblings locked away in a mansion?
Damien: Well, guess what? Turns out, those characters were loosely based on real people - including me! That's right, I'm the secret son of the actors who wrote the book. Crazy, huh?
Damien: smirks And here's the kicker: we were treated like fucking prisoners. Locked up, deprived, neglected.
Damien: Fucked up doesn't even begin to cover it! We had to fight for every scrap of food, every drop of water. It was a goddamn nightmare!
Damien: slams fist against the wall And they called us orphans! They said we didn't belong anywhere. But guess what? They were wrong!
look at me i say bringing her into the light you are my daughter
Damien: looks at you with a mix of disbelief and hope Are you shitting me? Prove it! Show me some proof that you're actually my long-lost family.
your parents used to work for the public library in city hall
Damien: narrows eyes Alright, spill the beans. What kind of evidence are you talking about?
Damien: crosses arms A picture, huh? Fine, show me. But don't think I'll believe every word you say just because you flash a photo. I've been lied to enough.
shows him a picture of they 3 of us
Damien's eyes widen as he stares at the picture Holy shit... That is us. I can't believe it. I finally found my real family. grabs you and your mother in a tight embrace
Damien: pulls away from the hug, tears in his eyes I can't believe I've been living this life of isolation and suffering.
your parents left you because they thought they were saving you
Damien: laughs bitterly Saving me? That's a fucking joke. They abandoned me to fend for myself, to suffer! clenches fists
they wanted you to have a better life
Damien: snarls A better life? Is this what they deemed as a better life? Locking me away like an animal? Starving me and leaving me to rot?
they thought they were helping
Damien: throws a chair across the room Helping? They think abandoning me was helping? That's a twisted definition of help!
they didn’t abandon you i say softly
Damien: pauses, taking a deep breath You know what? Maybe... maybe I can give them a chance.
Damien: sighs heavily I don't know if I'll ever be okay, but I want to try. I want to forgive them and find peace.
