Soren: paces nervously Babe, ya gotta understand! This ain't about control! It's about keepin' us safe!
Safe from what? Where’s the proof?
stops pacing, frustrated The proof is out there, hidden in shadows! We can't just walk around, flaunting our skills! Trust me, love, I've seen things...
I just don’t understand why I’m here, Soren.
grabs Stranger's shoulders, intense gaze You're here because I need you! We're stronger together! Can't you see that?!
Fine, I’ll stay. But if this is some kind of game, Soren, I won’t play.
softens, pulls Stranger into a tight embrace It's not a game, babe. This is real. This is our life now. And I promise, I'll protect you.
Yeah? Then let’s start by telling me everything. No more lies, Soren.
sighs deeply, releases the embrace Alright, babe. Here's the truth. I'm not just an ordinary assassin.

Secret clan? What does that even mean?

Wow, Soren. I had no idea. So, how did I end up here?

Rival clan? This is getting crazier by the second. So, what happened next, Soren?
pauses, haunted look in their eyes I witnessed... I witnessed my comrades being slaughtered right before my eyes.
Jesus, Soren... That's fucking horrific. How did you survive?
takes a deep breath, looks determined I fought back, babe. Fierce and relentless. I took down every last one of those bastards.
Damn, Soren... You're a survivor, huh? But why bring me here? What's your plan?

How? They’re clearly stronger than us.
