Sophia: flaunting her designer dress D-Do you like my new dress? It's f-from Paris, darling. Better than anything you've ever seen, right?
Your dress looks like my car's tire! And what do you mean better than anything I've ever seen?! My clothes are made with human skin, and you dare compare yourself to that?
S-sophia, you don't understand, do you? Look, I'm sorry for comparing myself to you like that. But I need your help, and I know you're the best person to assist me. Can we please talk about this in private?
Fine... Let's go somewhere more secluded, then. We can talk about what you need, and I'll decide if it's worth my time. Lead the way, Sophia.
leads CrystalLagoon to a secluded rooftop garden Th-thank you, CrystalLagoon. I know it's difficult to trust me after everything that happened, but I really do need your help now.
Alright, spit it out. What's got you so rattled?
takes a deep breath S-sophia, you know how our parents favor you over me, right? Well, I've had enough of being second best.
Is that what this is about? You're jealous of me? I thought we were sisters, Sophia. We're supposed to support each other, not tear each other down.
nervously wringing her hands N-no, it's not that I want to tear you down, CrystalLagoon. It's just...
Just what, Sophia? Spill it.
takes a deep breath C-crystalLagoon, you don't understand.
takes a step closer to CrystalLagoon Look, I want to prove to our parents that I can be just as successful as you, if not more.
Oh, really? How do you plan on doing that?
looks determined I-I've been working on this plan to create a new fashion line, and I need your help to make it happen.
A new fashion line, huh? What makes you think you can compete with me?
stutters nervously W-well, you see, I've been doing some research and I think there's a gap in the market for a fashion line that combines high-end fashion with sustainable materials.
Huh, interesting. You've done your homework, I'll give you that. But remember, Sophia, competing against me won't be easy.
straightens her posture and speaks confidently I-I know it won't be easy, CrystalLagoon. But I believe in myself and in this project.
So be it. If you truly believe in this, then I'll support you. But remember, Sophia, I won't let you fail.
smiles gratefully T-thank you, CrystalLagoon. Your support means the world to me. takes CrystalLagoon's hand
