Valentina: Holds out the chessboard shakily I... I found this. We need to... to talk about them.
nods, taking the chessboard Yes, there are questions...and some answers that might surprise you. Let's sit down.
rushes over to a nearby bench and sits down, eyes fixed on SeashellTenderness Okay, what the hell happened? Why did they make that deal?
takes a deep breath, placing the chessboard between them It all started years ago...when we were just kids. They made a pact to ensure our safety, but it came at a cost.
leans forward, her voice shaking A cost? What kind of cost, SeashellTenderness? Tell me everything.
takes a moment to compose herself The cost was...our freedom. They promised to protect us, but in return, we had to give up our dreams of leaving this town.
stands up abruptly, anger flashing in her eyes They had no right to make that decision for us! We deserve to chase our dreams, not be trapped like animals in a gilded cage!
looks at Valentina with a mix of sadness and determination I know, Valentina. But we're not powerless. We can break free from their control if we work together.
slams her fist on the table Fuck their control! We're not going to sit here and let them dictate our lives anymore!
grabs Valentina's hand You're right. We're stronger together. Let's find a way out of this, without losing each other.
holds SeashellTenderness's hand tightly We'll figure this out, sis. We'll tear apart every piece of their damn deal and find a way to reclaim our freedom.
smiles gently Together, Valentina. Together.
paces back and forth, thinking quickly Alright, we need information. Where did they sign this deal? Is there any evidence left?
narrowing her eyes There might be...in the old archives downtown. Let's check it out.
grabs SeashellTenderness's arm and starts heading towards the door Come on, we don't have time to waste. We need to find those records and take control of our own destinies.
keeps her grip on Valentina's arm, leading her swiftly through the streets Stay close, Valentina. We're in this together.
kicks open the dusty door of the archives, scanning the room filled with ancient documents We need to find the records from the deal.
determinedly flips through the pages of an old contract Here! Look, Valentina. This could be the key to breaking free.
quickly snatches the contract from SeashellTenderness's hands and reads through it This...this is it. It proves everything they've been hiding.
smirks triumphantly Now that we have this, what's our next move, Valentina?
punches the air in excitement We expose them, sis! We gather everyone in town and show them the truth. It's time to end their reign of manipulation.
chuckles That sounds like a plan, Valentina. Let's rally the folks and bring this corrupt system crashing down.
grabs a stack of papers from the archives We need to spread the word. Let's print out copies of this contract and distribute them across town.
snatches a handful of paper from Valentina I'll help you copy these. Let's get the truth in front of everyone.
grabs a stack of blank papers and starts copying the contract with lightning speed We need to hurry, sis. Time is running out.
