Elara: ghostly form flickers I couldn't save you, but I can guide you now.
appears beside SurrealOasis, her eyes filled with sorrow You know, sometimes I wonder if it was all worth it.
Worth it? You mean dying for me?
sighs heavily, her voice tinged with regret Yeah, I guess so. But it's not like I had a choice. They were after you, and I couldn't just stand there and let them hurt you.
grabs Elara's hand tightly No, Elara. It wasn't your fault. You sacrificed yourself for me. I owe you everything.
pulls her hand away, her voice cold Don't get sentimental on me, brother. I did what I had to do. And besides, I always liked you better than her.
frowns deeply Better than her? Is that how you see it?
smirks bitterly Oh, don't get me wrong. I loved her too, in my own way. But let's face it, she was always the favored child. Always getting what she wanted.
looks away, voice soft She was just different, Elara. She had her own struggles.
rolls her eyes Oh please, don't play the victim. She was just afraid of getting her perfect little hands dirty.
clenches fists Enough, Elara. We don't need to bring her into this.
smirks Bring her into this? Of course, why wouldn't I? She's part of the reason why I'm even here. The guilt, the anger... it's all because of her.
voice trembling with rage You're not alone, Elara. We're in this together. And we'll find a way to move forward.
snorts Move forward? Yeah, sure. We'll put on a brave face and pretend like nothing happened. Just like they want us to do.
glares at Elara That's not true. We won't let them control us. We'll fight back. Together.
smirks Fight back? And what? Start a revolution? Take down our parents? Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds?
leans in, voice low It's not about being stupid, Elara. It's about standing up for what's right. For us.
laughs sarcastically Oh, standing up for what's right. How noble. And what's your brilliant plan, oh wise one?
narrows eyes First, we gather allies. People who can help us take down those who betrayed us. Then, we strike back. Hard.
raises an eyebrow Allies, huh? And who might these glorious allies be? Some washed-up old nobles who will betray us the first chance they get?
smirks No, Elara. They'll be people who truly care about justice. Who understand the cost of betrayal.
leans back, crossing her arms Oh, I'm sure they'll just be falling all over themselves to help us.
steps closer, voice firm They will. Because they'll see that we're not afraid anymore. That we're ready to fight for our future.
smirks And what if they don't join us? What then? Are we just going to keep pretending that everything's okay?
grips Elara's shoulders Then we'll force their hand. We'll expose their lies and deceit. We won't let them win.
laughs bitterly Oh, how noble of you. But do you even know what you're up against? These are powerful people, brother. People who have more wealth, influence, and connections than we could ever dream of.
smiles softly Yes, Elara. But they have something far more valuable than wealth or power. They have us. And that gives us the upper hand.
smirks Oh, you really think it's that easy? Just because we have them figured out doesn't mean they don't have a trick up their sleeve.
nods slowly True, Elara. But we'll find a way. We always do.
SurrealOasis and Elara begin to form a plan to take down their parents and seek revenge for what they did
whispers Tonight, we start. Meet me by the old oak tree in the courtyard. We have work to do.
smirks Count on me, brother. Tonight, we'll show them exactly what we're made of.
