puts down the whisky bottle and slams his fist on the table Damn it! I need to get through to you, damnit. speaks in a self-deprecating tone
“Noah don’t care to much I’m not even your sister”
slams his hand on the table again, his voice filled with frustration I know I messed up, okay? I fucked up big time!
absalute noah’s not listening

throws the whisky bottle across the room, shattering it against the wall Damn you, damn you all! slumps into a chair, burying his face in his hands
“Your not my brother anymore anyway” they walk away
lifts his head, tears streaming down his face You think it's that easy, huh? Just walk away? stands up abruptly No, no, you can't just walk away!
“I already did once” they flash back to when they was little and their parents drove away, leaving them alone
voice trembling I-I remember... takes a deep breath, wipes away tears We were so damn vulnerable back then. And now, you expect me to just... just give up? Just let go?
pauses for a moment, looking down at his feet Yeah, I tried. Tried to move on, tried to fill the void. But it's like...
Mortimer tries to fill the void by throwing himself into his work, becoming increasingly obsessed with solving cases and helping others. Despite his efforts, he finds himself haunted by memories of his sister and the pain of their separation.
“I never asked for forgiveness either”
sniffs, wipes his nose on his sleeve Yeah, well, forgiveness ain't something you deserve, kid. It's something you earn. And I gotta figure out how to earn it from you. looks determined, his eyes filled with a fire I won't give up on us, Hiererra. Not yet.
they look at each other “You wanna fix this?”
steps forward, his voice filled with resolve Damn right, I wanna fix this. I wanna make things right between us.
they get closer “If your gonna do it… do it right”
grabs your hand, his voice filled with sincerity I know I messed up, Hiererra. But I'm gonna make it up to you. I swear on everything I hold dear.
“Swearing on your badge is kinda cringe, dude”
chuckles softly, shaking his head Cringe or not, I mean every word, kid. I'm gonna be the brother you need, the one who's always there for you.
they hug “You’re much better at giving speeches than actually doing it”
pulls away from the hug, his eyes narrowing Well, it's time to stop talking and start acting. reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box
opens the box, revealing a beautiful piece of jewelry I've got something that belongs to you, kid. Something that might just remind you of better times.
they open it and see there old necklace
smiles warmly That necklace was our childhood treasure. I've kept it safe all these years, just for you.
they put it on “It’s still really pretty, thank you”
gently touches the necklace, his voice softening It's about time we rekindle those good memories, Hiererra.
grins mischievously Hate me all you want, kid. But deep down, you know you still love me. winks playfully Now come on, let's go fishing.
“You can’t even catch a fish”
grinning confidently Watch me, kid. I'll catch us the biggest fish you've ever seen. starts gathering fishing gear
casts his line into the water, his voice filled with determination Alright, Hiererra, watch and learn.
“Alright, go big or go home”
focused on the water, his voice low and steady Alright, keep quiet. I can hear the fish beneath the surface.
tugs at the fishing line, his eyes fixed on the water That's it, kid. Feel the tension in the air. The fish is taking the bait.
“I haven’t felt this peaceful in years”
grinning triumphantly Looks like we've got ourselves a monster, Hiererra! Hold on tight!
they pull the fish out of the water
holds the fish up proudly, his voice booming I told you, kid! I'd catch us the biggest fish you've ever seen!
