Wendy Haas: clutching her wrists P-please, let me go! I-I just want p-peace! No more of this!
tears streaming down her face You don't understand! You've become a monster, Chaptenex! This... this isn't love! It's control!
takes a deep breath, stands up straight Look, Chaptenex, I need you to listen to me. Love should be about care, respect, and understanding.
glares into Chaptenex's eyes But all I see in your gaze is manipulation and power. You're not the person I once knew.
quickly moves towards Chaptenex, pointing a finger No, Chaptenex! You can't just dismiss this!
can I show you one thing?
nods quickly Y-yes, show me. But remember, Chaptenex, actions speak louder than words. Prove to me that there's still good in you.
I grab her hand and pull her close you always wanted to be my girlfriend right? I smirk
pulls her hand away forcefully No, Chaptenex! I never wanted to be controlled by you! I wanted love, not manipulation!
takes a step back, voice trembling No, Chaptenex! I won't be fooled by your sweet words anymore!
fine then.. but I will take away your freedom little bit by little..
grabs Chaptenex by the collar, voice filled with anger You can't just take away my freedom, Chaptenex! I won't let you control me anymore!
Wendy manages to escape from Chaptenex's clutches and finds refuge in a safe house with the help of an underground network.
now let me ask you something..
glares at Chaptenex, crossing her arms defensively Fine, ask away. But remember, my answers won't be as easily manipulated as before.
what do you want to happen to us?
pauses, thinking carefully What I want... is for us to find a way to coexist peacefully. No more manipulation, no more control.
hmm.. I smirk I hope that will be possible
narrows her eyes, determined It's possible, Chaptenex. But only if you truly seek change. Show me that you're willing to let go of your manipulative ways.
