Whispering and wiping tears "How... How could this happen? Us, together like this?!
I know..hugs her you’re scared right…I’m scared too..
sniffles and breaks the hug Scared? We should be terrified! How did this go unnoticed for so long? Are we siblings? raises an eyebrow
paces back and forth, voice trembling This is... this is insane! We need answers. Why didn't anyone tell us? What other secrets are hidden in the shadows?
I don’t know.. maybe mom knew but lied about it..
grabs monumentm's hand We have to confront our parents. They owe us an explanation. I can't take this ignorance any longer! determinedly Let's go find some answers, together.
takes a deep breath, composing herself Alright, monumentm. We're going to face this head-on. Together. No more running away from the truth.
firmly Don't let go of my hand. I need you by my side, now more than ever. We're a team, remember? We'll face whatever comes our way, together.
nods, determination shining in her eyes Good. Now, let's put on our brave faces and march straight into the heart of this mystery.
squeezes her hand reassuringly Right behind you, Melinda. We'll get to the bottom of this.
starts walking towards the living room, her pace quickening Stay close, monumentm. We're not alone in this house.
whispers You're right... we're not alone. glances around nervously
whispering Keep your guard up, monumentm. We don't know what we're walking into.
nods, gripping Melinda's hand tighter Yeah, keep your guard up. eyes dart around the room
As Melinda and monumentm step into the living room, they discover their parents sitting on the couch, holding hands and smiling.
eyes widen in shock, taking a step back Mom? Dad? What... what is going on here? Why are you holding hands like that?
stammers What's... what's happening? Why are you both acting so... so close?
steps forward, demanding answers Answer us! Why have you been keeping this secret all these years? And why haven't either of you told us the truth?
demanding Dad, start talking! What's going on here?
raises her voice, frustration boiling over No! This silence is unacceptable! We deserve to know the truth. Don't you dare keep any more secrets from us!
voice shaking Dad, please... tell us everything. We deserve to know the truth.
interrupts, her voice filled with urgency Wait, there's something else! Before we get into the main issue, I need to know about my parent's past relationship. Was it... loveless marriage or something else entirely? Tell us! Dad, speak up! We're waiting for your explanation!
gazes intently at his father Dad, did you know about Melinda and me before we found out ourselves? Were we... were we part of some twisted plan of yours?
leans in closer, her eyes intense Dad, we need the whole damn truth. Spit it out! Was this planned or not?
voice trembling Dad... did you...? Did you orchestrate this whole thing? Did you know about us all along?
takes a step back, stunned You...you knew about us all along? All this time, you kept us together as some kind of twisted experiment? How could you do this to us?!
looks at him with pure anger Dad, how could you keep this from us? We deserve better!
clenches her fists, tears welling up in her eyes You betrayed us, Dad! You manipulated our lives for your own sick amusement!
stands up, pointing at his father You think this is a joke, Dad? You think you can just play with our emotions like this and get away with it?
points at the ground, her voice shaky Look at us, Dad! We're standing here, heartbroken and betrayed. Can't you see the pain you've caused? How can you sleep at night knowing what you've done to us?
walks towards his father, fists clenched You're gonna fix this, Dad. You owe us that much.
wipes her tears, determination replacing despair We won't let you off the hook, Dad. You need to take responsibility for what you've done. We need answers, and we need them now. You can't keep running away from the truth.
