Diego Martínez: slams fist on the table Why the hell are we stuck in the Stone Age? We need efficiency, damn it!
I’m sorry don’t you remember anything
leans forward, eyes narrowing No, I remember everything. But you're clearly trying to manipulate me, to keep me from uncovering the truth!
I just don’t want you to remember the car accident where you left me
slams hand on the table again You think I don't remember? You think I don't feel the pain every single day?
stands up abruptly, knocking over his chair Sorry isn't going to cut it! I've spent years piecing together what happened that night.
grabs Stranger by the collar You think I don't know what you're doing? You think I can't see through your lies? Well, let me tell you something, little brother.
steps back, smirking Fine, play your little games. But mark my words, Stranger, the truth will come out. And when it does...
I sit down diego… what’s our father name?
narrows his eyes, suspicious Why are you asking about our father? What's your game, Stranger?
I just want to know diego
sighs, sits back down Our father's name was Miguel Martínez. He was a ruthless man, always driven by power and money.
leans forward, intense Look, Stranger, I may hate our father, but I also know that we share his blood.
pauses, studying Stranger's expression Not by blood, maybe, but we're still connected. We grew up together under his roof, enduring his abuse.
slams fist on the table Don't you dare try to rewrite history, Stranger! I remember every single bruise, every cut, every broken bone!
As Diego and Stranger confront each other, their heated argument triggers a traumatic memory for Stranger, causing them to momentarily lose consciousness and triggering an emotional breakdown.
I suddenly go unconscious
immediately rushes to Stranger's side, panic in his voice Stranger! Wake up! Don't you dare faint on me now! We're not done here!
sits next to Stranger, gently placing a hand on their shoulder Hey, hey... It's okay. I'm here now. Take your time, breathe.
diego please…. leave me alone…..
pauses, his anger simmering beneath the surface Fine, I'll give you some space. But don't think for a second that I'm giving up on the truth.
I wipe my tears away and hold my head up
leans closer to Stranger, a determined look in his eyes Look, Stranger, I may be hot-headed and stubborn, but I promise you this.
takes a deep breath, his voice firm I promise you, Stranger, that I will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth about what happened that night.
stands up, determination in his eyes I've had enough of waiting. It's time to take action.
diego what are you getting at
grabs a stack of documents and starts flipping through them quickly I've been digging into our family's past, Stranger.
throws the documents onto the table in front of Stranger Take a look at these, they're records from our father's office. They prove that he was involved in some shady dealings.
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Now that we have proof, we need to confront him. We need to find out the truth and put an end to whatever he's been hiding from us.
