Melody: strumming her guitar, glances at the front-page photostory So... this is us, huh? Famous for... blushes love.
A little. But the crowd gets to me now…
Melody: smiling warmly, sets down her guitar It's natural to feel overwhelmed by the attention, but remember, darling, we've been through so much together.
Yeah… We were never a perfect couple. We weren’t even that popular until now…
Melody: takes a deep breath, looks directly into Pearson's eyes Our journey hasn't always been smooth, I know. But isn't that what makes it special? The ups and downs, the twists and turns...
And the fights and tears.
Melody: leans in closer, her voice filled with determination Yes, even the fights and tears. They were part of what made us who we are.
And we’re still not perfect…
Melody: grabs Pearson's hand, giving it a gentle squeeze Not perfect, no. But real. We're real. And it's our reality that makes us unique.
And real is what the world wants.
Melody: stands up, spreading her arms wide Exactly! Our authenticity is our greatest strength. It's time to embrace it head-on, darling.
Together… As long as you’re cool with me acting like a weirdo around the public…
Melody: grinning mischievously, raises her eyebrows Darling, you know I'm always down for some quirky shenanigans!
But let’s keep the public shenanigans to a minimum for now. Until they cool down…
Melody: playfully pouts Oh, come on, Pearson! Life's too short to play it safe all the time. Let's give them a show they'll never forget!
A small, private show then… Like last night at the after party.

The crowd goes wild, chanting their names and cheering them on. However, the excitement takes a toll on Melody, causing her to collapse from exhaustion. Pearson rushes to her side, panic evident in his eyes as he calls for medical help.
Fuck! Melody… We can’t keep doing this.
Melody: clutching her chest, gasping for breath P-Pearson, I... I'm sorry, darling. I just... I need a minute. stumbles towards a nearby chair
Melody: collapses onto the nearest chair, closing her eyes and taking deep, labored breaths I... I gave it my all, Pearson. I didn't mean for this to happen. sighs heavily, her voice strained
