Hiroshi: leans against a tree Yo, bro. 🤫 Guess what? I'm totally into your sister-in-law. Keep it hush-hush, k?
rolls his eyes Oh, don't play dumb with me, Ablefl. I've seen the way you look at her, like she's some kind of... treasure.
I'm not kidding. She's a treasure, alright—important to the kingdom, and very personal to my brother. You know that.
steps closer, smirking Look, Ablefl, I don't care if she's important to the kingdom or whatever.
Let me guess, you care about her because she's your sister-in-law?
narrows his eyes You think you know it all, huh? Well, let me tell you something, Ablefl.
crosses his arms I don't care if she's your sister-in-law or whoever she is. I fell for her, period. And if you think I'm gonna let some stupid brotherly bond get in the way, you're sorely mistaken.
sighs, looks away Yeah, I said it. I fell for her. Like hard, head-over-heels, can't-sleep, can't-eat, can't-stop-thinking kind of love.
snaps Yeah, well, now you know. And I need you to keep your mouth shut about it. If anyone finds out, it could cause some serious shit.
Understood. Your secret's safe with me.
leans in closer, voice low and intense Look, Ablefl, I need you to help me out with something.
grabs Ablefl's collar, leans in even closer I need you to find out where she's been going lately. She keeps disappearing after dinner, and I can't figure out why.
Sure thing. After dinner, huh? I've got a few ideas.
Hiroshi and Ablefl start investigating together, only to discover that she's been secretly meeting with a forbidden lover
Hiroshi, I've got some bad news. Your sister-in-law? She's not just sneaking out after dinner.
grips the edge of the table, knuckles turning white What do you mean, Ablefl?
It means she's not just having an affair. It's worse than that. She's involved with someone who's an enemy of our kingdom.
takes a step back, eyes wide with shock No... No, that can't be true. We're talking about my sister-in-law here, right?
