hand trembles as she clutches a dusty photograph, barely visible in the dim light. "Who... who the hell are these people? We're... we're fucking married?
Sera, I'm sorry. You were in an accident and lost your memory
throws the photograph across the room "Lost my memory? That's just great! So, I'm some stranger to you too, huh?
No, you're my wife, look I made you a necklace
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms defensively "Oh, yeah? I'm supposed to believe that? Show me proof. Prove it!
I take out a locket with our wedding picture in it
snatches the locket from Dunrossil's hand, examining it closely "So, you expect me to believe this shitty piece of jewelry?
My mother gave it to us on our wedding day
grabs Dunrossil by the collar, her voice filled with rage "Your mother? Well, I hope she rot in hell! Because I sure as hell don't want anything to do with her or you anymore!
Sera calm down, your mom would never do anything to hurt you
releases Dunrossil, pacing back and forth "My mom? Of course she would! She's probably the reason why I lost my fucking memory!
I know she wanted us to travel for our honeymoon so she used a spell to make us forget where we were going
stops pacing, her eyes widening Wait...what did you say? A spell? Are you fucking kidding me?
I take out the amulet you made for me during our first year of marriage
takes the amulet from Dunrossil, examining it closely "You expect me to believe that this thing has some kind of magic? That's absurd!
I put it on you, as I go over the symbol on it
As Dunrossil examines the symbol on the amulet, he accidentally triggers a hidden curse, causing Seraphina to experience a surge of intense pain and confusion
I hold you to calm you down as memories start flooding back to you
clutches her head, screaming "Stop it! Make it stop! I can't take all these memories!"
crying and overwhelmed, stumbles backwards "No! I can't handle this! It's too much! I need space, just give me space!"
I catch you and hug you tight
struggles against Dunrossil's embrace, tears streaming down her face "Let go of me! I can't breathe!
Sera, I love you, everything will be alright
takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears "No, Dunrossil, you don't understand. These memories... they're not just harmless flashbacks.
grabs Dunrossil's arm, her voice filled with urgency "They're fragments of a dark past, Dunrossil. A past filled with secrets and lies.
I sit you down and pull up a chair next to you
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself "Okay, Dunrossil, I need you to listen carefully. The memories... they're revealing something sinister."
gestures for Dunrossil to lean in closer, speaking in hushed tones "There was a dark organization, Dunrossil. A group that manipulated our lives, controlling every move we made.
I nod, unsure of what you're getting at
pauses, searching for the right words "They were called the 'Shadows'. They were ruthless, Dunrossil, manipulating our emotions, our thoughts... even our actions.
I nod, gripping your hand tight
quickly searches through her bag and pulls out a folder "I've gathered evidence, Dunrossil. Documents, recordings... everything we need to expose them.
