Lydia Everhart: sighs heavily "So, um, this is where it all started, huh? The old mansion... and the secrets."
Let's stop using the words "together". We aren't a couple anymore.
pauses, her eyes searching PodNeil's for understanding You're right, PodNeil. "Together" doesn't change the fact that we're still bound by this twisted legacy.
grabs PodNeil's hand and pulls him towards the window We start by cutting off all ties to our families. No more contact, no more influence.
opens the window, letting the cold night air rush in It's time to sever all connections, PodNeil. We won't look back.
snatches a pen and paper from the desk, frantically scribbling down a list We need to cut off every financial tie, close every account, and end any partnerships we have with them.
slams the pen onto the table Let them be mad! Their madness created this mess, and they will suffer the consequences. We won't let them control us anymore.
points at the house This place is a symbol of everything they've taken from us. It's time to reclaim our freedom by reclaiming our home.
grabs her bag and storms out of the room, determination etched on her face We're taking back our lives, PodNeil.
rushes down the stairs, her footsteps echoing through the empty halls We won't waste another moment.
snatches the closed journal from PodNeil's hands We won't need this anymore. Our story is being written now, and it won't be dictated by their twisted games.
grins You're really taking the lead here.
grabs PodNeil by the collar, pulling him closer Damn right I am. I've spent years being a pawn in their game. No more.
