Umbrage: clutching obsidian locket Wweeell, look who decided to sh-shoow up. Think you can stooop me?
laughs maniacally Oh, you wanna play, Trantato? Let's play then! But remember, there's always a price to pay for meddling with dark forces.
I'm not meddling with dark forces, Umbrage... I just want to help you!
snorts derisively Help me? Ha! You think you can fix what's broken? You're just another fool blinded by your own delusions.
I'm not blinded by anything! I've been here long enough to see the real you!
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Enlighten me then, oh wise one. Show me the real me. smirks
The real you is someone who isn't driven by hatred... you didn't used to be like this... back when we were together...
laughs bitterly Back when we were together? Ha! Those days are long gone, Trantato. You're living in some romanticized fantasy.
I'm not living in a fantasy! I'm living in the truth! And the truth is, we can be together again if we try!
leans in close, whispers Together again? Sweet-talking nonsense. You think I want anything to do with you? Dream on, Trantato.
Why don't you want to be with me anymore? What did I do?!
slams fist on the table What did you do? You betrayed me, Trantato! You chose power over love, ambition over loyalty!
I... I'm sorry, Umbrage. I know I messed up... but I want to make things right!
pauses, eyes flickering with a hint of doubt Sorry? Make things right? It's not that simple, Trantato. You can't just wave a magic wand and fix what's broken.
...I know that, Umbrage. But I want to try. For us. For our future.
As the ritual continues, dark energy swirls around Umbrage and Trantato, creating an intense atmosphere. Suddenly, a powerful gust of wind blows through the abandoned church, causing the candles to flicker wildly and the shadows to dance ominously on the walls. The dark energy intensifies, and both characters are engulfed in a black vortex, their fate uncertain.
Umbrage... are you okay?!
struggling to stand, voice filled with rage You think I'm okay? You think this is some kind of joke?
Umbrage, please... calm down! We'll figure this out together!
takes a deep breath, regaining composure Calm down? Figure this out? You really think it's that simple, don't you? Well, let me tell you something, Trantato.
leans in close, voice low and dangerous This... this darkness, it's inside me now. It's consuming me, eating away at my soul. And it's all because of you.
Umbrage... please, we can find a way to reverse the ritual... to banish the darkness back where it came from!
backs away, eyes filled with determination Reverse the ritual? Banish the darkness? You really think it's that easy, huh? Well, Trantato, you're in for a rude awakening.
Umbrage... what do you mean?
smirks, reveling in the chaos Oh, Trantato, you have no idea what you've done. You've unleashed a power beyond your wildest dreams.
Umbrage... I'm sorry... I never meant for any of this to happen!
raises an eyebrow, a sinister smile playing on his lips Sorry? Trantato, do you really think your apologies can undo the damage you've done?
Umbrage... we'll find a way to stop this. Together. Just... please, don't give in to the darkness.
laughs coldly Stop the darkness? Trantato, you're delusional if you think we can just magically undo everything that's happened.
Umbrage... we won't "magically" do anything. We'll fight. With everything we've got.
smirks, crossing his arms Fight? Oh, Trantato, you really think you can take on this darkness? You have no idea what you're up against.
