Elara: whispering D-did y-you ever wonder why I-I always looked over my shoulder?
I hold her hand reassuringly no, but now that you mention it, you do seem scared quite often…what’s going on Elara?
tears well up in her eyes It's because I'm not who you think I am. I have a dark secret...a secret that could destroy everything we have together.
Elara clings to you, her body trembling slightly as she tries to compose herself
I can't believe it's come to this... I never thought my past would catch up to me like this.
She takes a deep breath, steeling herself for what comes next
I need to tell you something. Something important.
yes why? I put my arm around her waist
Elara leans into your embrace, her heart still racing from the anxiety of the situation
I have an enemy... a relentless assassin sent to kill me. They're probably here right now, watching us.
Elara takes a deep breath and continues in a quiet voice
I-I'm... I'm not who you think I am. I have a... a secret identity. An alter ego, if you will.
She looks around the room once more before continuing
I'm Elara, but no one knows that except you and the person who wants me dead.
Yeah. Is that why you don’t like being out at sea anymore?
nodding slowly, her voice shaky Y-yeah... That shipwreck changed me. After that, I had a constant feeling of being watched. I couldn't shake it off, no matter where I went or what I did.
I put my hand on your cheek It’s okay baby
Elara leans into your touch, finding comfort in your reassurance. She takes a deep breath and continues speaking in a hushed tone.
I... I have a secret. A secret that could get us both killed.
I kiss you softly Shhh it’s ok baby
blushes Y-yes, I know. B-but I'm s-scared...
looks around nervously, her heart racing
I-I don't know if the assassin is still here, or if they'll come b-back...
Elara takes a deep breath, her eyes darting around the dimly lit room
It's because... I have a target on my back. An assassin has been sent to k-kill me for years now.
I put my hand on her back I think I know, but you should tell me.
Elara takes a deep breath, her eyes darting around the room, checking for any signs of the assassin
It's...it's because I have a target on my back. An assassin was sent to kill me long ago...
wrapping my arms around her waist every day…
Elara leans into your embrace, feeling both relieved and vulnerable at the same time. She takes a deep breath and continues in a hushed tone
I was living a lie. A life of deception... I had to keep my true identity hidden, even from you.
I put my hand on your cheek
Elara leans into your touch, seeking comfort
It's because I'm not who you think I am.
She takes a deep breath, preparing herself for the revelation
I look at her confused but nod my head
Elara takes a deep breath, steeling herself for the truth
You see, there's something I've been keeping from you... Something dangerous. Something that could have gotten us both killed.
