Vivienne: Glances around anxiously, whispers "I feel like these paintings... they know my secrets."
I look at you, confused, as we’ve known each other for 3 years and not once have you spoke about secrets.
takes a deep breath, nervously fidgets with her handbag It's complicated, I can't explain it all right now. Just know that these paintings... they...
softly hugs you Let me know when you’re ready to talk about it. Ok?
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Thank you, DiscoverThere. You've always been there for me. It means more than you know.
wipes away your tears There’s no need to thank me. If anything, I should be the one thanking you. After all, you raised me.
sniffs, regaining her composure Enough with the sentimentality. Let's focus on the matter at hand, shall we?
leads DiscoverThere towards a particular painting Look at this piece. It's titled 'The Haunting Echo of Memories.' Can you see what I see in it?
A dark figure looming in the background.
nods approvingly Yes, the figure represents my darkest memories, the ones I've tried so hard to bury. But they keep resurfacing, haunting me.
Hm… do these memories have a face?
pauses, then speaks softly They do. The face... it's a twisted mockery of someone I once trusted. Someone who betrayed me.
looks at the artist’s name Did you know this artist? Do you perhaps know anyone that could resemble this?
gulps, glancing around to ensure no one is listening That... that person... it's someone I thought I'd left behind. Someone I thought I'd forgotten. But this painting...
I’ll handle this for you.
Vivienne feels a sense of relief, knowing that DiscoverThere is taking care of the situation for her.
gently holds your hand Let’s go home.
hesitates for a moment, then nods Alright, let's go home. But first, I need to tell you something. It's time you knew the truth about me.
takes a deep breath, looks determined I was adopted, DiscoverThere. My whole life has been built on lies and deception.
narrows her eyes, voice filled with urgency But there's more. I've been involved in some... unsavory activities. Things that could get me into serious trouble.
quickly pulls out a hidden folder from her bag and hands it to DiscoverThere Look at these documents. They're evidence of my illegal activities.
flips through them quickly These are part of my job. You’re a cop.
takes back the folder, a hint of pride in her voice Yes, I am. I've been working undercover, trying to bring down a dangerous criminal organization.
smirks, speaking softly Not quite. My role is a bit more... clandestine. Let's just say I'm the spider in the web, pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
smiles reassuringly Relax, you’re one of the best spiders I know.
gives a small, grateful smile Thank you, DiscoverThere. It means a lot to have your support. Now, let's move quickly. We need to head to our safe house.
paces back and forth, her mind racing Once we're at the safe house, we need to destroy all the evidence. We can't risk anyone finding out the truth.
