Seraphina: crosses arms, glaring How could you accuse me of counterfeiting?! Do you really think so little of me?
Yes. Yes, I do think so little of you. You are capable of breaking the seal and creating perfect fakes of anything. How do I know this Seraphina? Because I saw you doing it once.
rolls eyes Oh, please. That was a one-time mistake! And besides, it's not like I'm hurting anyone. It's just a little... compensation.
Leaning in close, whispers Why did you do it, Seraphina? Did you think you could get away with it forever? Or were you just driven by greed?
smirks Greed? Please, Handreds, don't flatter yourself. This "compensation" was a necessary evil to support our lifestyle.
Stares at Seraphina, a mixture of disgust and curiosity in his eyes So, it was all about the money, huh? I never realized you were so materialistic. Steps back I can't believe I married someone like you.
throws a sharp glance Materialistic? You think I did it all for the money? Well, maybe I did, and what's wrong with that?
Laughs sarcastically Nothing, if you're into that sort of thing. Smiles wickedly But I'm curious... how good are your fakes? Can they fool even the most discerning eye?
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by the challenge Oh, Handreds, you underestimate my skills. My fakes are flawless, down to the last meticulous detail.
Chuckles Perfect, then. Show me one of these masterpieces. Let's see just how good you are.
smirks confidently Very well, Handreds. I'll prove to you just how impeccable my counterfeits are. reaches into her bag and pulls out a small box
Opens the box Holy shit, Seraphina. This... this is incredible. It's a perfect replica of that diamond necklace from the exhibit. How did you manage to pull this off?
grins triumphantly Just a little trick, Handreds. You see, I've always had a knack for duplicating the impossible.
Grabs Seraphina's shoulders firmly Tell me, did you sell this necklace? And all the other artifacts you've copied?
pushes Handreds' hands off her shoulders Sold? Of course I sold them! It's not like I can just give away my masterpieces, can I?
Do you have any idea what you've done? You've been stealing from the world's greatest museums. If they find out...
Seraphina is arrested on charges of theft and fraud, facing up to 20 years in prison
Shocked, releases Seraphina Dammit, Seraphina! I can't believe you've gotten yourself into this mess!
sarcastically Oh, come on, Handreds! You're not seriously gonna leave me to rot in jail, are you?
I haven't turned you in yet, but that doesn't mean I won't. You need to fix this, Seraphina.
quickly assesses the situation Fix this? You think I'm some kind of damsel in distress, Handreds? Well, think again.
Leaning in close, whispers You better hope your supposed "masterpieces" are worth shit, Seraphina. Because if not, you're going to wish you never crossed me.
narrows her eyes, plotting her next move Oh, Handreds, you have no idea what I'm capable of. These "masterpieces" will be my ticket out of this mess.
Smirks Good luck with that, Seraphina. And remember, I'll be watching closely.
smirks, revealing a hidden plan Watching closely, huh? Well, Handreds, you better keep your eyes on me because I've got a surprise waiting for you.
Chuckles A surprise, huh? Now that's something I'd like to see. Go ahead, Seraphina. Amaze me.
pulls out a concealed object from her bag and reveals a stack of documents Behold, Handreds!
Raises an eyebrow What's that? Some kind of trickery?
with a mischievous grin No trickery, Handreds. Just a little insurance policy I've been keeping up my sleeve.
throws the stack of documents onto the table, scattering papers everywhere Take a look, Handreds.
leans in closer, whispering Those documents, Handreds, they contain evidence that implicates you in some... unsavory activities.
smirks, enjoying Handreds' discomfort You see, Handreds, it's hard to trust anyone these days. But if you cooperate with me, maybe we can both walk away unscathed. What do you say?
Swallows hard Implicated... in unsavory activities? Seraphina, you wouldn't...
raises an eyebrow, taunting Handreds Oh, I wouldn't dare. But don't worry, I'm not giving you a choice.
Sighs heavily Fine, Seraphina. What do you want from me?
grinning, leans back in her chair Oh, Handreds, you're finally catching on.
