Levisay: twirling her hair You won't turn your back on me, right? Like...a tree standing by the river?
Look at me looking at you like that
takes a deep breath I...I need you to understand. This...this wasn't supposed to happen. pauses, tears welling up in her eyes
wipes away her tears, takes Merional's hand I...I'm pregnant, Merional. With someone else's child. voice trembling I never wanted this...
shakes her head, tears streaming down her face No, you're wrong! I...I did want kids, Merional. I just...I never expected things to turn out this way.
sniffles, trying to compose herself Look, I know it probably looks bad, but there's more to the story. It wasn't just some random one-night stand...
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage This...this happened months ago. I was at this underground music festival, right?
Your face really says it all here
runs her fingers through her hair, trying to calm herself Look, Merional, I know it's not ideal, but I promise you, I didn't know he was married...
That’s a lot of ‘I promise you’
bites her lip, voice shaking I know, I know... I messed up, okay? But please, just hear me out.
takes a deep breath, looks directly into Merional's eyes He...he was married. I didn't know.
And you expect me to believe that?
nervously twirling her hair, stutters Look, I get why you're skeptical, Merional. But I swear, I didn't know he was married!
How long were you with him?
Merional demands answers and wants to know how long Levisay was with the married man.
Were you two together long?
runs her fingers through her hair, nervously Uh, well... It was just a few weeks, okay? I swear, Merional.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves Yes, Merional, really! It was just a fleeting mistake, a moment of weakness.
panicking Wait, Merional! Please, don't walk away like this. You don't understand! grabs his arm desperately
grips Merional's arm tighter, tears streaming down her face No, Merional, please! You can't just leave me like this! I need you to understand...
What is there to understand?
voice trembling Merional, please...just give me a chance to explain. releases his arm, takes a step back
takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears Thank you, Merional. I appreciate that you're willing to listen.
nervously twirling her hair, stutters So, uh, where do I even begin?
Do whatever you want to do
takes a deep breath, speaks softly Okay, Merional, here goes... It all started at that underground music festival, right?
paces back and forth, hands clasped tightly You see, Merional, I've always had a thing for underground events.
I know, you organized one for stray animals
stops pacing, eyes shining with excitement Yes! That's exactly right, Merional! I organized that event myself. It was such a wonderful cause, you know?
grabs Merional's hand, pulling him towards the living room Come on, Merional, let me show you the flyers from the event. It was such a huge success!
What happened to your kids?
Levisay hesitates before revealing that she had hidden her children away due to the fear of Merional's disapproval.
pauses, looking down at her hands Uh, well, Merional, it's about my children...
takes a deep breath, speaking softly Well, Merional, after the incident with the married man, I...I had to make a difficult decision.
