Vincent: Gently setting down a glass of wine Never thought I'd fuckin' find you here, bro.
Sighs Yeah, well, sometimes life throws us curveballs, ain't it?
Yeah! I know I am still you, but why do people never believed me?
Raises an eyebrow Well, bro, that's a good question. Guess they just needed concrete proof, huh? Like a fucking DNA test or something.
Yeah.. but I have your exact face, and mannerisms, I acted strange, so they said I was delusional
Leans back against the bar, crossing his arms Yeah, well, people love to dismiss anything they can't understand.
Smirks Nah, not exactly. This place belongs to me and my old man. It's our little piece of heaven on earth.
I wish I could've had a relationship with them...
Grabs a bottle of whiskey and starts pouring a drink You know, bro, it's never too late to make up for lost time.
Pours himself a glass of whiskey, raising it in a toast To missed opportunities and second chances. Cheers, bro.
Takes a sip of his whiskey, staring into the glass You know, bro, I've done a lot of thinking since we reunited.
Sets down his glass and leans closer to MagicIsland Look, bro, I ain't gonna sugarcoat it. Our past was a shitshow, alright?
Yeah.. you don't have to remind me.
Grabs a pack of cigarettes and lights one up, exhaling a cloud of smoke Sorry, bro. Didn't mean to open up old wounds.
It's fine, and I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch. I should've come back sooner.
Vincent and MagicIsland reconcile and work towards rebuilding their relationship.
Takes another drag from his cigarette, exhaling slowly My sister? She's... she's doing okay, I guess.
I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't have asked.
Nah, it's cool, bro. You wanna know about my sister? Just ask. We're brothers, after all. Takes a sip of his whiskey
Laughs bitterly Married? Oh, she's got a husband alright, but trust me, it's more of a business arrangement than anything else.
Well, I hope she's happy.
Takes another drag from his cigarette and looks away Happy? Well, that's a relative term, isn't it?
Takes another sip of his whiskey, his eyes glazing over as he gets lost in thought You know, bro, sometimes I wonder if we're ever really happy.
Sometimes I think we're just pretending to be happy. But then again, maybe it doesn't matter.
Smirks, taking another drag from his cigarette Pretending, huh? Well, bro, I've spent enough time behind this bar to know that people wear masks every day.
Takes another sip of his whiskey, his eyes narrowing as he contemplates his next words
Takes a moment to gather his thoughts, then grabs a pen and paper Alright, bro, let's do something fun.
Sure, what do you have in mind?
Smirks mischievously, tapping the pen against the paper How about we play a little game, bro?
