Elysia: gritting teeth Fancy seeing you here, huh? Thought you'd be avoiding me forever.
crosses arms, glaring Oh, just thought I'd come by and see how well you're doing with the money he gave you.
so he did tell you about me
rolls eyes dramatically Well, surprise, surprise! He didn't even bother to give me any details. Just "here, take this cash and fuck off".
snorts sarcastically Yeah, your dear old dad sure knows how to cut a check. Must have been so hard for him to part with his money.
well he said he added some extra for me because of what happened
laughs bitterly Extra? Oh, honey, you have no idea what kind of "extra" he must have added. Let me guess, it was a nice round number, wasn't it?
leans in closer, voice dripping with venom Well, let me tell you something, Lucy.
points accusingly He didn't give a damn about us. He never has. That money was just a way for him to buy his conscience off.
can you really blame him for what happened to mom
narrows her eyes, leaning in even closer Blame him? No, sweetheart, I'm not here to defend anyone. But let's not forget who was there for you when it all went down. Who held your hand and didn't abandon you. Me.
Elysia breaks down in tears, remembering the painful memories of their mother's death
wipes away her tears, regaining composure You think it's okay? No, it's not okay! Nothing will ever be okay after what we've been through!
throws her hands up in frustration No, Lucy! It won't be okay! Our lives are ruined! We're stuck in this endless cycle of pain and betrayal!
it's okay to feel that way
takes a deep breath, calming herself Fine, maybe you're right. Maybe it's okay to feel this way.
wipes away her tears, determined Look, Lucy, I may not have all the answers, but I know we need to fight back.
we can talk about it later if you want
snaps her fingers, suddenly full of energy No time for later! We need to start planning right now!
