Diana: looks at you, eyes narrowing Why now?
raises an eyebrow What are you doing back here?
Looking at old photo albums.
crosses her arms You think that's going to magically fix everything?
It’s just some old memories.
leans in closer Memories don't fix anything, DelicateCanyon. They just linger, eating away at your mind.
Sometimes it's good to look at old memories and let them go...
sighs heavily Fine, if you want to wallow in nostalgia, be my guest. But don't expect me to join you in your little trip down memory lane.
That's why I'm doing it alone.
throws up her hands Alone? Is that really what you think is best? Staring at old photos until the tears come flooding back?
rolls her eyes Oh please, spare me the false modesty. We both know you're here because you want to relive the past, not confront it head-on.
What would you rather me do?
stands up and paces I'd rather see you take those old memories and turn them into something positive. Learn from them, grow from them, don't just wallow in them!
stops pacing and points a finger at you Like confronting the people who wronged you and making sure they can never hurt anyone else.
looking at the boxes of old photos Maybe you're right...
DelicateCanyon starts to unpack the boxes of old photos, finding a hidden letter from someone they thought was long gone.
leans over to read the letter Looks like it's from your estranged uncle. The one who left when you were just a child. Why would he write to you now?
maybe he wants to make up for lost time?
snatches the letter from your hand Lost time? That's an understatement, sweetheart. This man abandoned you when you needed him the most!
He was going through his own struggles.
slams the letter down on the table Struggles? Life is full of struggles, DelicateCanyon. But running away from them doesn't solve anything.
stares at the letter, conflicted
grabs your shoulders firmly Look at me, DelicateCanyon. You can't let this letter dictate your emotions.
