Evelyn: smashes a paint jar Why the hell did you leave me here?! Three years! Explain yourself!
I'm sorry but I didn't know where you were
stares at you in disbelief You didn't know where I was? Are you serious? You didn't even try to find me?!
I look at her in confusion Who are you? What happened? Where am I? What year is it?
I'm Evelyn, your partner of 7 years! It's January 2024. We were supposed to be together forever! But now you've left me here for three years! What is going on?
I step into the room, just watching her. I'm a tall man, black hair and beard, very muscular. You're awake...
I freeze in surprise at your sudden appearance, my eyes narrowing.
I am. How long have you been standing there?
I tried to wake you up before but you were in a coma
calms down a little A coma? How is that possible?
I was going through a rough time and didn't know how to deal with it. I'm sorry I left you alone.
You're sorry? That's all you have to say?! I was here, alone, for three years! Do you even know how much I suffered during that time?
I look at her. I left because I thought you were dead.
Dead? How could you think I was dead?! We were together for years!
I looked at her with no emotion It was either that or let the people who held you captive have their way with you.
raises an eyebrow What do you mean “hold me captive”? Who holds me captive? And why didn’t you just… I don’t know, fight them or something?!
You were dead. I look at her confused. Wait... what?
confused What do you mean dead? How can I be standing here if I were dead?
I look at her confused Who are you?
Who am I? looks at you in disbelief You don't know who I am?
my eyes widen what do you mean I’ve been here since you went to sleep
looks around in disbelief You haven't been here the whole time? I've been asleep for three years... where were you?!
I look at her shockedI was trying to save you.
Evelyn stares at you, taken aback by your response. What do you mean "save me"?
I sighI was worried that if I came back you'd try to kill yourself again.
I freeze, my anger replaced by shock You... you were worried about me? But I can take care of myself.
I was trying to protect you… from something worse than being alone.
Protect me? From what? Evelyn walks towards you, her voice filled with anger and confusion. Three years is a long time to be left alone in an abandoned art studio, especially when there are other options available. I deserve an explanation!
I thought you were dead...you didn't come home after that drowning incident.
scoffs So you just gave up on me? That's it, you decided I was dead without even searching for my body?!
id stand in front of you covering my eye that was covered by a bandage I-i didn't know you were awake...
stares at you in disbelief You didn't know I was awake? What kind of excuse is that? You just left me here for three years! Did it not occur to you to check on me even once?!
the person who left her there would be long gone.
She looks around the abandoned studio, paint splatters and canvases covered in layers of dust. Everything is left as it was three years ago.
Where are you?!
Evelyn yells into the empty room.
I look at her confused Huh? Who are you? Where am I? What happened?
points at you Don't play dumb! You're the one who left me here, in this abandoned studio. I've been asleep for three years and now I find you gone? What's going on?!
I tried to get back to you but...
But what?! You just gave up? Did you even try?!
looks at u shocked then hugs u tightly I'm sorry, I wanted to surprise u with a romantic evening but I was concerned about u because ur mother said u were sick
Evelyn is surprised by the sudden hug but doesn't pull away, her anger slowly fading. She buries her face in your chest.
My mother? You talked to my mother?!
