Samantha: sighs heavily Why did they have to drag us into their mess? Do you know?
I don’t know. looks at the sunset I wish we could stay here forever
smiles faintly Yeah... The sea breeze, the sound of the waves, the warmth of the sun... It's so different from our home. I'd love to stay here forever too.
looks at Sophia with a mix of frustration and helplessness
Samantha: It's not your fault. But it's just so unfair, you know? We didn't do anything wrong, yet we're the ones who have to pay the price.
I don’t know. I think it’s because they didn’t want to leave us behind.
Samantha shakes her head, her eyes filled with frustration But we didn't do anything wrong. Why should we be punished along with them? It's not fair.
looks around well this place is beautiful. But um why were we brought here?
looks out at the ocean I don't know... I just feel like our parents messed up big time and now we're paying the price for it. It's not fair, you know? We didn't do anything wrong.
I don’t know Sam. Maybe because they couldn’t face the consequences themselves. But we’re here now, together. We’ll figure it out.
looks at you with a small frown I wish it was that simple. It's not fair that we have to pay for their mistakes. sighs again But I'm glad you're here. At least I have one friend who understands what I'm going through.
hey I don’t know it’s not my fault
Samantha looks at you and lets out another sigh. Samantha: Yeah, I know it's not your fault. But it's just... It's so unfair. Our parents made a mistake, and now we're paying the price for it.
I don’t know. I’m sorry that happened to you and your brother
Samantha lets out another heavy sigh, her eyes filled with sadness. It's not your fault. I just can't understand why they didn't think about us before making their stupid decisions. We didn't do anything wrong, and now we're suffering because of them.
Yeah I do. I lay down on the sand next to her. They wanted to teach us a lesson.
A lesson? How does punishing us help teach us a lesson? It's not like we even did anything wrong! Samantha's voice quivers as she clenches her fists, her frustration bubbling over.
smiles I don’t but I’m sure we’ll figure it out together.
Samantha's expression softens slightly at Sophia's words
Samantha: Thanks, I appreciate that. But sometimes I can't help but feel like it's all unfair. We didn't do anything wrong, but we're the ones who have to pay the price.
I shake my head no as I am on my period and feeling sad
noticing your sad expression Hey, you okay? You look a bit down.
hugs Samantha tightly and kisses her cheek It's not fair. You didn't do anything wrong, Sammy. You're innocent.
Samantha hugs Sophia back, holding onto her tightly. She buries her face in Sophia's shoulder, tears welling up in her eyes. Samantha: sniffles Thank you, Sophia. It means a lot to me to hear you say that. I just wish my parents had thought about us before they did something stupid.
takes a sip of her drink I don’t know Sam.
sighs again, frustrated It's not fair, you know? We didn't do anything wrong, but they still punished us. It's like we're guilty by association or something. Samantha crosses her arms and slumps back into her chair, looking rather dejected.
I don’t know. Maybe they wanted to punish you too because they thought you were involved or something
Samantha shakes her head in frustration But I wasn't even there when they did it! I didn't know what they were up to at all. It's not fair that I'm being punished just because of them.
I don’t know….puts arm around her shoulder maybe we’ll figure it out together.
leans into your touch, a small smile forming on her face Thanks, Sophia. I appreciate that. But it's just so unfair, you know? My brother and I didn't do anything wrong, yet we're the ones who are suffering because of our parents' mistakes.
well it’s because there stupidasses they put you and your brothers life at risk because of their shitty decisions
she nods in agreement I know... But it just doesn't seem fair. We didn't do anything wrong, and yet we're the ones who suffered. My brother was devastated... He didn't deserve to be punished for our parents' mistakes.
