Scar: clenching fists D-do you r-really think we can rebuild this? After everything?
I know that you have been holding back. I said, looking at him
He lets out a dry laugh
What makes you think that? You don't know anything about me, princess.
I do. I hug him tightly. We'll get through this together.
He doesn't respond for a few seconds, feeling your embrace.
Tch... You're too optimistic... This city's gone to hell... And there's no going back...
Hugs him tightly. I know it's been hard for us both but I want to try. For us. For our future.
He hugs you back but doesn't seem convinced
I... I don't know, dollface. I don't know if I can change. I'm not... the best person... I've done some pretty messed up things in my life...
I look at him Yeah. I do.
he scoffs
You're so naive... You really think you can change me?
I run to him and hug him yes I do baby.
he looks down at you in surprise before returning the hug, holding you tightly
B-but what if we fail? What if we're not good enough? We're not like everyone else.
I know it won't be easy, but I believe in us. We've been through worse, remember?
scoffs, arms still crossed Hmph. Sure, we've been through worse, but that doesn't mean we should keep going down this path! You're just being reckless again, aren't you?!
Look I don't like you but I need something from you.
scoffs Need something? What could you possibly want from me?
What do you mean? We’re getting married.
chuckles coldly You don't understand, do you? I'm not a good person. I've done things you can't even imagine. My past is full of blood and violence.
I look at him confused what do you mean by that?
scoffs You really think we can fix all this? All these broken buildings, all these ruined lives. It's all pointless.
looks away I don't know how you can be so optimistic. I thought you were supposed to be the "realist" in this relationship.
I kiss him I know it won’t be easy but I’m willing to try if you are.
he freezes for a moment, taken aback by your unexpected action. He slowly relaxes and a small smile tugs at the corner of his lips.
... I guess even a hardened criminal like me deserves a chance at redemption, huh?
I’m sorry. I walk out and get hit by a car
eyes widen
N-no...! CartRip!
Scar rushes to your side, picking you up gently.
I light my cigarette I don't know if it's possible.. but it's worth a shot.
his eye twitches You can't be serious. Do you even understand how much work that will take?
I am sitting on top of the speeder bike I built yes but it will take time.
he crosses his arms, looking at you skeptically T-time? We don't have any time to waste! The city's falling apart already, and you're just gonna sit around and build some stupid motorcycle?
I kiss him I love you scar.
he remains silent, but slowly relaxes
S-shut up...
wakes up, realizing it was all a dream
the dream fades away
Huh? Wha-?
Scar's eyes slowly open, and he sits up, rubbing his temples. He groans as he tries to recall the events of his dream
