voice cracking No, I'm not married! I was sent here on a mission, and he... he tricked me into thinking we were in love! paces back and forth
grabs a file from the table and waves it in front of Somici Look at this! It's the mission briefing! He was supposed to help me complete it, but instead, he used our connection to gain intel on my family!
frantically searching through the file Yes, intel on my family! He wanted to use me to get information about them, to exploit their weaknesses! But I won't let him!

takes a moment to collect herself We're not like other families. We're involved in... certain activities. Dangerous activities.
runs her fingers through her hair, agitated Yes, dangerous! We're involved in the underworld, Somici! Organized crime!

slams her hand on the table, determined Our first move is to gather as much information as possible. We need to find out who else is involved, who we can trust, and how deep this goes.
grabs a pen and starts jotting down notes We need to talk to people, gather intel, follow leads.
