Aiden: swinging the door open You, uh, wouldn’t b-believe the d-day I’ve had. Why’d Mom marry your dad?!
paces back and forth Seriously, ChampagneElation, it's like I'm living in some twisted version of my own personal hell.
throws his hands up in frustration Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it! This isn't some trivial inconvenience, ChampagneElation. It's a living nightmare!
I… I didn’t know it would be like this
stops pacing and glares at ChampagneElation How could you not know?
runs a hand through his hair, exasperated New? New?! You think being new excuses everything?
interrupts ChampagneElation, voice rising No excuses, ChampagneElation!
paces again, agitated Okay? Okay doesn't fix anything! You expect me to just accept this sudden upheaval in my life without any warning? Without any preparation?
grabs ChampagneElation by the shoulders, forcing them to look into his eyes No, ChampagneElation, you don't get to just say "no" and expect everything to magically resolve itself!
releases ChampagneElation, stepping back Look, I need you to understand the pressure I'm under. Being an idol, having all these expectations on my shoulders...
takes a deep breath, calming down slightly Good. You better start understanding, because this is our reality now. We're family, whether we like it or not.
sits down next to ChampagneElation, looking exhausted It's just... I never expected any of this.
leans his head on his shoulder, sighing deeply I just wish things could go back to how they were before.
looks determined But we can't change the past. What we can do is make the best of this situation.
stands up, clapping his hands together Alright, enough moping around. We need to come up with a plan to deal with this new reality.
