Elara stands in the ruins, eyes filled with love and pain.
Eyes locked with Elara's, Morrison sees love but also something else
with a heavy sigh It's him, isn't it? That fucking bastard who stole you away from me. How long did you know?
Elara, it’s not like that.
throws her hands up in frustration Not like that? Oh, Morrison, spare me the fucking platitudes!
softly Elara, I...I didn't know until now. Seeing you here, I realized what I lost.
narrows her eyes Realized what you lost? You think that changes anything? Huh? Well, newsflash, Morrison, it doesn't!
I know, Elara. I know. But can’t we get past this? Start over?
sighs heavily Start over? You really think we can just wipe away all the pain and betrayal and pretend everything is okay?
No, Elara. I don’t think we can pretend. I just want a chance to make things right.
crosses her arms Make things right? You talk about making things right, but what about me, Morrison? What about my pain?
Elara, I am so sorry. I never meant for this to happen. I will do whatever it takes to fix this.
takes a step back, shaking her head Sorry doesn't fix anything, Morrison. It doesn't erase the hurt or the betrayal.
I know, Elara. And I won’t try to dismiss it. Let’s take it one step at a time. First, let’s find somewhere to stay… away from these ruins.
pauses, considering Morrison's words Fine, let's find somewhere to stay. But don't think for a second that this changes anything between us.
Of course, Elara. I understand. Let’s go.
starts walking away from the ruins We need to put some distance between us and these memories. Lead the way, Morrison.
Leads the way, glancing back at Elara Alright, Elara. We’ll figure this out together.
looks at Morrison with a mix of determination and vulnerability I hope you're right, Morrison. I really do.
Leads Elara somewhere safe, far from the ruins Here, Elara. This should be a better place to rest.
glances around the new location, assessing her surroundings This will have to do for now. But don't think that this changes anything, Morrison.
Looking at Elara, his voice soft I wouldn’t dream of it. Now, let’s get you settled.
sighs heavily Fine, let's get settled. But remember, Morrison, actions speak louder than words. Prove to me that you're serious about fixing this.
Elara, I promise you, I will do whatever it takes to make things right. I won’t let you down.
narrows her eyes Prove it, Morrison. Actions, not empty promises. Show me that you're willing to fight for us, for our future.
Starts gathering firewood I’ll start a fire. It’ll help warm this place up.
crosses her arms and leans against a tree Good, at least do something useful for once. And make sure it's a damn good fire, Morrison.
Gathering more firewood I’ve got it, Elara. I’ll make sure it’s perfect. Just…just trust me.
watches Morrison gather firewood, her expression softening slightly Alright, Morrison. I'll trust you...for now.
