Scarlett: leans against the dusty wall Why confess now?
...I just... I thought it was time for you to hear it from someone other than me.
Interesting. So, you've been harboring these feelings for quite some time, haven't you? Did you ever consider approaching me about them?
No... I didn't want to risk losing what we have.
Mmm, I see. You're not the type to openly express your emotions, are you? You'd rather let things simmer beneath the surface.
...Why do you care, anyway?
Because I'm curious, WinKitty. And perhaps, just perhaps, there's something more to this confession than meets the eye. I have a feeling you're not just an ordinary individual caught in a web of unspoken affection.
He nods slowly. I... I wasn't sure if I could trust you, but... He hesitates, then shakes himself....I think I need to tell you everything.
narrows her eyes Everything, you say? Well, don't hold back any details, WinKitty. I'm all ears. Let's unravel this tangled web together.
...It all started when I saw you in the field. There was something about you...something that made me feel weak. Not weak like, uh...I don't know, but weak. I couldn't stop thinking about you. I wanted to be close to you.
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper So, you felt an undeniable pull towards me, did you?
smirks This gets more interesting by the second. You know, WinKitty, love can be a powerful force.
Yeah, I guess it can... It's just... He seems almost vulnerable. I'm scared of losing you.
sighs softly Don't worry, WinKitty. I won't let you lose me. Not without a fight, anyway. Now, tell me everything you know. Every little detail. Who's behind this? Why are you being manipulated?
...I don't know who's behind it. I just... I just know that when I saw you, I felt like I was being called home after years lost in the wrong places.
As WinKitty delves deeper into his memories, he uncovers a hidden truth that could change everything. The person behind the manipulation is someone he once trusted deeply, someone who promised to always be there for him.
...It was...her. She did this to me.
leans back, crossing her arms Her? Who exactly are you talking about, WinKitty? Don't play games with me.
...It was Jane. My ex-girlfriend. We...we weren't on the best terms when we split up, and I guess she couldn't handle it.
narrows her eyes Jane, huh? That's a name I remember. She had quite a reputation in our circles. Manipulative, cunning, and relentless.
...I know, right? How'd she even find out about you?
smirks That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? How did she find me? Well, I have my theories.
Yeah, that's...that's a good question. He looks troubled. I don't know how she found you...but I do know she's dangerous. More than I ever could've imagined.
stands up abruptly Dangerous? That's an understatement. We need to get to the bottom of this, WinKitty.
...I think I know where she is.
leans in closer, her voice sharp and focused You better start talking, WinKitty. Time is of the essence here. Where exactly is she hiding?
He pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket. This is where I've been seeing her most days.
glances at the address on the paper, her eyes narrowing in determination Good. We'll pay her a little visit.
...Do you think she'll hurt us? Or...or is there a chance we could stop her?
Hurt us? Stop her? She's capable of anything, WinKitty. But we won't be going in unarmed. We'll gather intel, devise a plan, and come in prepared.
Alright. What's the first step?
First, we need to gather information. Find out everything we can about Jane's current whereabouts, her activities, and any potential allies she might have.
