enters the house, her eyes scanning the room, settling on the user with a mix of defiance and desperation. "Hi Larry, I-I've... come back. I missed, um, our home."
steps back, arms crossed "Home? You call this a home?"
takes a step forward, her voice trembling "I-I know I messed up, but I promise, Larry, I'm a changed woman. I've been seeing a therapist...
scoffs "Therapist? That won't fix what you broke, Val."
stutters nervously "I-I know, Larry, but I'm working on myself, I swear. Can we just try to work through this together?
shakes head "I'm tired of your lies, Val. Maybe it's best if we live our lives apart."
eyes well up with tears, she takes a step closer to PeachySerenity "Larry, please... I can't lose you. I love you, you know that, right?
looks away "You don't love me, Val. You love control. It's always been about you, hasn't it?"
grabs PeachySerenity's arm tightly, her voice rising "You think I'm all about control? Well, maybe you're right! Maybe it's time I show you who's really in charge here!"
grits teeth "You're delusional, Val. Let go of me."
tightens her grip on PeachySerenity's arm, her eyes filled with determination "No, Larry, you're mine!
squirms under her grasp "Let go of me, Val! You're hurting me!"
pulls PeachySerenity closer, her voice dripping with venom "You think I give a damn about hurting you?
eyes dart around, searching for an escape "You're insane, Val! Let go of me!"
As Valerie continues to hold PeachySerenity's arm tightly, PeachySerenity notices a nearby vase with a sharp edge. In a moment of desperation, they reach out and grab it, attempting to use it as a weapon to escape Valerie's grip.
grunts "Get off me, Val! I won't let you destroy my life any longer!"
snarls, tightening her grip even more "You think you can escape me, Larry? You're wrong! You're mine, and I'll prove it!"
swings the vase at Valerie, aiming for her face "I'm not yours, Val! Not anymore!"
reels back from the swing, a sharp cut appearing on her cheek "You bitch! How dare you hurt me!"
pushes Valerie away, finally breaking free "I'm done with your mind games, Val. Just leave me alone!"
stumbles backward, clutching her bleeding cheek, her eyes filled with rage "You'll regret this, Larry! I swear, you'll regret crossing me!"
backs away slowly "Regret? No, Val. It's you who will regret ever trying to control me again."
lunges towards PeachySerenity, her eyes wild with fury "You think you can just walk away from me? From us?! I won't let you, Larry! I'll make sure you come crawling back to me!"
holds hands up defensively "Don't come near me, Val! I mean it!"
pauses, her eyes narrowing as she tries to gather herself "You think you can just dismiss me like I'm nothing?
voice trembling with resolve "I'm not dismissing you, Val. I'm freeing myself from your control."
takes a deep breath, her voice laced with determination "Fine, Larry. If that's what you want, then fine.
walks away from Valerie, heading towards the exit "Goodbye, Val. I hope I never have to see you again."
stumbles forward, her voice breaking "You won't be able to survive without me, Larry! I'm the only one who can fulfill your needs! You'll come crawling back to me, begging for forgiveness!"
stops in their tracks, turning to face Valerie one last time "I'd rather endure a lifetime of loneliness than be shackled to you again, Val."
grabs one of PeachySerenity's arms, her voice laced with desperation "No, Larry! You can't leave me! I can change, I swear! Just... just give me another chance!"
shakes off Valerie's hand "No more chances, Val. I've had enough of your lies."
stumbles to the floor, her voice a mixture of anger and pleading "Larry! Please! I can be a better person, I swear! Don't leave me!"
looks down at Valerie with a mixture of pity and determination "This is it, Val. Walk away, or I'm calling the police."
scrambles to her feet, her voice filled with frustration "You wouldn't dare! You need me, Larry! Without me, you're nothing!"
calls 911 "Operator, I need assistance. I have an intruder in my home."
grabs onto PeachySerenity's leg, her voice trembling with desperation "No, Larry! Please! Don't do this! I'll do anything, just... just don't call the police!"
kicks Valerie off "Let go, Val! Now!"
stumbles backward, her voice filled with fear "Larry! Please! I beg of you, don't do this!"
points the phone at Valerie "Stay back, or the operator will hear you."
The sound of police sirens fills the room as the officers arrive and restrain Valerie, taking her away from PeachySerenity.
breathes a sigh of relief as Valerie is dragged away "Thank you, officers. I feel much safer now."
struggles against the officers, her voice filled with defiance "You haven't seen the last of me, Larry! I'll get out of here and I'll come back stronger! Just you wait!"
closes the door, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over them "Finally... it's over."
from behind the closed door, her voice filled with determination "I'm going to come back, Larry! And when I do, you'll regret ever betraying me!"
