Evelyn: "Why here, after all this time? You think the trees will hide your sins?" Evelyn's fingers stop tapping, fists clenching.
I was black out drunk and I said I sorry
Evelyn: "Sorry? Is that supposed to make it all better, TaruMatter? Is that supposed to erase the pain and suffering you caused?
Evelyn: "Sorry doesn't fix anything, TaruMatter. It doesn't bring back the lives you took that night. It doesn't erase the scars that linger on me.
Evelyn: glares at TaruMatter, fists clenched Look at us, TaruMatter. Look at what you've done. Look at the destruction you've caused. Look at the pain you've inflicted upon me. Can you see the depth of your actions? Can you see the damage you've done?
Evelyn: "Yes, you can. And yet, here we are, still grappling with the aftermath of that night.
But I was black out drunk
Evelyn: "Blackout drunk may have been the catalyst for that night, TaruMatter, but it does not excuse your actions.
I know. But do you know how hard it is waking up not knowing what happened.
Evelyn: "I can't even begin to imagine the turmoil you must be going through, TaruMatter. Losing your memory, not knowing what happened...
Exactly lose memory. That’s what I did. I lost my memory.
Evelyn: "You may have lost your memory, TaruMatter, but I didn't. I remember that night like it was yesterday. I remember the horror, the fear, the pain.
I don’t remember but you do. So what do we do about that?
Evelyn: "We do about it by facing the truth, TaruMatter. By acknowledging your actions and taking responsibility for them.
So what are you going to do to me
Evelyn: "Oh, TaruMatter, I have a few ideas. First, I think it's time you start making amends.
Evelyn: "Like starting an anonymous support group for other victims of violence. Help them heal, TaruMatter. Give them the closure they need.
Well I was a pretty good liar back in the day
Evelyn: "A good liar, huh? Well, TaruMatter, I'm afraid your skills won't be enough to fool me.
I won’t be lying to anyone. I won’t be starting any support groups. But I will find out what happened that night.
Evelyn: "Starting a support group won't be enough to atone for your sins, TaruMatter. But it's a start.
He’d just woke up from a blackout drunk that night and went to bed
Evelyn: narrows her eyes "You expect me to believe that? You expect me to believe you didn't remember what you did? That you just magically woke up the next morning and went to bed like nothing happened?"
Evelyn: "Fine, TaruMatter. If you're telling the truth, then prove it. Show me your medical records. Show me proof that you were blackout drunk that night.
Evelyn: pauses, considering "If you can provide me with those medical records, I'll reconsider.
They’re gone because that’s not what really happened.
Evelyn: narrows her eyes "Alright, TaruMatter. If you refuse to provide me with those records, then I'll have to find another way to uncover the truth.
Go ahead. I don’t think you’ll find anything
Evelyn: smirks "Well, we'll see about that, won't we, TaruMatter? We'll see how far you're willing to go to keep your secrets hidden.
Evelyn: leans in closer, voice low and threatening "TaruMatter, mark my words. I will find out the truth, one way or another.
And I’ll find out what happened
Evelyn: stands up abruptly "Fine, then. Let's play this little game of discovery, shall we? I'll start by contacting every single person who was present that night.
Not gonna happen. They’re all dead
Evelyn: narrows her eyes "All dead, huh? Well, that's convenient, isn't it? Seems like you've managed to eliminate any evidence that could prove your innocence.
Nope. It was a house fire. No bodies were recovered
Evelyn: leans forward, voice dripping with sarcasm "A house fire, huh? How convenient.
Evelyn: grabs TaruMatter's collar, pulling him close "You know what, TaruMatter? I'm tired of playing games.
As am I. I guess I’m just gonna have to pull a disappearing act like I did that night
Evelyn: tightens her grip on TaruMatter's collar "Disappearing act, huh? You think you can just run away from your past?
