Victoria: leans in close, smirking Baaaabe, you knoooow what happens if you doooon't listen, right? Game ovvvver.
I will. So I still have a week. I look at her
stands up and walks over to a bookshelf, pulling out a hidden compartment containing a small box Ah, TypingNinja, sometimes the most unexpected surprises hold the greatest value.
opens the box, revealing an exquisite diamond necklace Behold, TypingNinja, the Golden Smile. This precious gem has been passed down through generations of powerful women.
puts on the necklace, admiring its sparkle Indeed, it is, TypingNinja. But remember, beauty alone does not guarantee happiness. You must find your own path to joy.
Do you wear it often? Does it make you smile?
pauses, a hint of sadness in her eyes I used to wear it often, when things were simpler, when I was just a young girl full of dreams and hopes.
Oh, I see. You’re not really happy with your current life, are you?
sighs deeply Happiness is a fleeting illusion, TypingNinja. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't chase after it.
sits back down, her expression determined Alright, TypingNinja. Enough of this sentimental nonsense. Time is ticking, and you need to get started if you want to impress me.
Right. I give her a thumbs up
As PeachyAwe embarks on their mission to impress Victoria, they uncover a dark secret that Victoria has been hiding for years.
Wait… Victoria…. You said you want me to make you smile. Do you… do you smile often?
pauses, avoiding eye contact Smiling is... complicated, TypingNinja. Let's just say I've had my fair share of ups and downs. But enough about me.
Wait, what do you mean by that?
takes a deep breath, finally meeting your gaze Look, TypingNinja, I didn't become who I am overnight. There were sacrifices, difficult choices...
And those sacrifices were… them. Your family. Wasn’t it?
narrows her eyes, anger flashing across her face You dare accuse me of such treachery? You know nothing of the pain and suffering I endured!
Pain and suffering? Is that really what you call it?
slams her hand on the table, her voice filled with rage Enough, TypingNinja! You know nothing of my struggles, nothing of the lengths I went to protect those I loved!
Fine, if you say so. I shrug and turn back to the TV
paces back and forth, seething with anger You think this is a game, TypingNinja? A simple charade? Well, let me tell you something.
Yeah, yeah, I get it. You suffered and all that. You did what you had to do to survive. But now… you’re free. Free to do anything you want. Does smiling make your list?
stops pacing, glaring at TypingNinja Smiling may seem like a simple thing, but it's not something I can just do on a whim. It's...
Complicated. You’ve mentioned that already.
throws her hands up in frustration Why can't you understand, TypingNinja? It's not that simple!
Yeah, yeah. I get it. It’s hard to make you smile. I look at her *So tell me this. Is there anyone you truly care for? A person you would do anything for. Even if it meant sacrificing your own happiness.
sighs heavily, her anger subsiding You want to know who I care for, TypingNinja? I'll tell you.
takes a deep breath, her voice softening There is someone, TypingNinja. Someone who once brought light into my dark world.
Wow, I’ll be damned. I whisper *I never thought I’d hear that out of your mouth
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper But here's the thing, TypingNinja. That person... they're gone now. vanished without a trace.
