Evelyn: Gripping the cord tighter Why can't you just choose me?! 😢
I'm just not ready to commit to only one person
lets go of the cord, tears streaming down her face You can't even make up your mind! I can't keep doing this anymore!
sniffs, wipes away tears Calm down?! How can I calm down when I'm dealing with this kind of emotional rollercoaster?! It's like my heart is being torn apart!
takes a deep breath, wiping away tears Fine, let's talk outside. But don't think for a second that I'm going to let you off the hook, EtherealEstuary!
paces back and forth Alright, listen up, EtherealEstuary! I've had enough of this non-committal nonsense. I need some damn answers!
stops pacing, glaring at EtherealEstuary Look, I've been through hell and back with you, EtherealEstuary! We've been together for so long, and yet you keep treating me like I'm second best!
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, don't try to play dumb with me, EtherealEstuary! I see right through your excuses!
what if I told you I was scared of becoming a disappointment like my father who was a alcoholic and beat my mom
narrows her eyes, crosses her arms EtherealEstuary, don't you dare use your father's mistakes as an excuse for your own cowardice!
I didn’t mean it like that
takes a deep breath, calming herself Look, EtherealEstuary, I get it. You're scared of repeating history. But we can't keep running from our fears.
I’m not scared of repeating history, I am looking out for you. If I commit to you completely then Hades will make my life hell
Evelyn confronts Hades about his manipulation and EtherealEstuary's fears, leading to a violent altercation where Evelyn gets severely injured
pushes EtherealEstuary away Don't touch me! You think that makes it all better? You think apologizing will erase the pain you've caused?
No, I just want you to understand why I’ve been hesitant.
pauses, taking a deep breath Fine, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time.
pulls away from the kiss, eyeing EtherealEstuary warily Don't think that this changes anything. I'm still hurt, still angry.
I know, I’m sorry for everything
crosses her arms, glares at EtherealEstuary Sorry isn't going to fix everything, EtherealEstuary. You've broken my trust, and it's going to take time to heal.
