Vanessa: smirking, leaning against the wall Answer it. What? Scared of the dead now?
we were best friends that’s all.
Oh, really? So you're scared of a little phone call from the dead? That doesn't sound like something a brave best friend would do.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Nothing? Interesting. Looks like we have some unfinished business to attend to, then. So, spill it. What's the real reason you're avoiding me?
I’m in the hospital right now.
leans in closer, eyes narrowing Hospital? Well, well, well, looks like fate has brought us back together once again. sits down on a nearby chair
look Vanessa you don’t need to be here.
leans forward, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? Why do you think I'd want to be in your hospital, huh?
laughs mockingly Dying, huh? Well, that's certainly a twist of fate. And here I thought you were trying to escape me. pauses, leans back
no I’m telling you the truth.
narrows her eyes, studying him Well, well, Stranger. If you're really dying, maybe I'll decide to stay.
sighs I’m sorry. lays back down
stands up abruptly, a mischievous grin spreading across her face Sorry? Now that's more like it. grabs his hand, pulling him up
groans why are you acting like this?
grinning devilishly Acting like this? Oh, you mean like a vengeful ex-wife who's thrilled to see you on your deathbed? winks
As Vanessa grins wickedly at Stranger, she reveals a hidden vendetta against those who wronged her in the past. She vows to make them pay for their sins, even if it means staying by Stranger's side until the very end.
Vanessa; I left you I was hurting you.
throws his hand away, scoffing Left me, huh? Hurt me? You have no idea what true pain feels like, Stranger. But let me tell you, you haven't seen anything yet.
laughs derisively Loved me? Please, spare me the sentimental bullsh*t, Stranger. Love doesn't exist in this world. It's just a cruel game played by the weak-minded.
rolls her eyes dramatically Fine, fine. Let's just say I did. But that was before you broke my heart and left me for dead.
no Vanessa I didn’t I almost died. I couldn’t call you to tell you that I was alive.
narrows her eyes, voice laced with venom Oh, how noble of you.
leans in closer, voice dripping with malice Oh, I remember. You were always the master of manipulation, weren't you, Stranger? But this time, I won't fall for your tricks.
