Felix: clutching sketchbook I finally told her, man! But she wants someone pure! Innocent! What do I do?!
runs fingers through hair, frustrated This is not fair! I laid my heart bare, and she just laughs! She's supposed to understand my feelings!
maybe she wants a guy to play with. I’ve heard she keeps you on a leash.
sniffs, wipes away tears No, no, we were doing so well! We talked about everything, shared our dreams and fears, I even showed her some of my latest sketches!
pulls away and hugs Hamilton tightly Thanks for being here, man. You're the only one who truly gets me. sniffles
sniffles Yeah, just a little... it's been a rough day. But enough about me, let's talk about you. How have things been going lately?
I found out I’m adopted. sobs
puts hand on Hamilton's shoulder Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry to hear that. It must be really tough for you right now.
It’s just…like…I’m not even the daughter of my parents.
squeezes Hamilton's shoulder Oh, Hamilton, I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling right now.
And it gets worse, they have no idea how my biological parents died.
holds Hamilton's face gently Hamilton, listen to me. It doesn't matter how you ended up in your current family.
That’s not true! I never should’ve come here!
takes Hamilton's hands in his own Stop blaming yourself, okay? None of this is your fault.
Hamilton and Felix share a moment of deep emotional connection and support each other through their respective struggles
Maybe we’re not good enough for anyone anyway. crying
firmly No, Hamilton, don't you dare say that! We may not be perfect, but that doesn't mean we're not good enough.
squeezes Hamilton's hand tightly Look, I know it's hard, but we can't give up. We have to keep pushing forward, no matter how tough it gets.
pauses, wipes away his own tears You know what? Screw this. We're going to show them what we're made of!
grabs Hamilton's hand and starts pacing I mean, we're going to prove to everyone that we're worth something.
