Whispering We need to talk. It's me, Waverly. I'm... I'm not... Sighs heavily dead.
Stares at Waverly, trying to process What the fuck...? How? Why?
Looks down, fidgeting with her hands It's a long story. Takes a deep breath I didn't want to worry you, but... Pauses, glancing around nervously
Trying to stay calm You could have sent me a fucking memo, Waverly. What's going on? And why are you here now?
Hugs RadiantHunter tightly I missed you, Hunter. I couldn't stand being away from you. I had to come back, even if it meant deceiving you.
Clenches fists Deceiving me? Is that what you call it? You disappeared without a trace, Waverly! Do you have any idea what I went through?
Steps back, avoiding eye contact I know I hurt you, Hunter. But I did it for us. I couldn't bear the thought of losing you.
Scowling For us? You think running away and pretending to be dead was for us? That's fucked up, Waverly.
Tears well in her eyes I know it was selfish, but I was scared. Scared of losing you. Scared of what would happen if you knew the truth.
Lowers his voice So, you thought wiping out our entire life together was the answer? How dare you think you could just erase all those memories we made, Waverly?
Sighs heavily I never meant to erase our memories, Hunter. I just needed some time to think, to figure things out.
Glaring at Waverly Figure things out? You think that justifies it? If you wanted to talk, you should've come to me. Not vanished into thin air.
Tears streaming down her face I know I messed up, Hunter. I'm sorry. I should have trusted you and come to you with my fears.
Grits teeth Sorry doesn't cut it, Waverly. You owe me an explanation – and a damn good one.
Takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Alright, Hunter. I'll tell you everything. But promise me you won't be angry.
Leaning in close, voice low Spill it, Waverly. And don't you dare lie to me again.
Nervously wrings her hands The truth is... I was contacted by someone from my past. An old acquaintance who had information about a danger that could affect both of us.
Eyes narrowing A danger? What the hell are you talking about, Waverly?
Whispers They told me that there was a powerful organization targeting people like us, individuals with unique abilities.
Raises an eyebrow Unique abilities? Now you're really pushing it, Waverly. What the fuck is this bullshit about?
RadiantHunter starts to doubt the truth of Waverly's story, feeling a mix of anger and suspicion towards her.
Scanning Waverly closely And this organization, tell me more about them.
Takes a deep breath They call themselves the Shadows. They operate in the shadows, so to speak, working to recruit and control individuals with special abilities.
Nods slowly The Shadows, huh? Sounds like a fucking cliché. What's their angle, Waverly? Why target us?
Sighs heavily According to them, they saw us as a threat.
Laughs bitterly A threat? You? I swear, Waverly, you're spinning a goddamn fairy tale.
Reaches into her bag and pulls out a folder No, Hunter, it's not a fairy tale. Hands him the folder
Stares at the folder, then looks back at Waverly What's this supposed to prove, Waverly?
Takes a deep breath Open it, Hunter. It contains evidence, documents, and testimonies of other individuals who have been targeted by the Shadows.
