Lila: leans in, smirking Miss me?
CreamChill
Perez is silent
Lila: stands up and walks towards Perez Oh, don't worry, Perez. I'm not here to ruin your little fantasy.
CreamChill
Perez is still looking at himself in the mirror
Lila: grinning mischievously But I can play along, you know? Let's see how long you can keep up this charade.
CreamChill
You're... you're really here...?
Lila: raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms "Really here"? You think I've been haunting you or something? Pathetic.
CreamChill
I thought that you died when I was young..
Lila: rolls her eyes dramatically Died? Please, Perez, don't act like you'll be surprised if I pull a rabbit out of my hat.
CreamChill
So you were the one who switched us at birth? Why didn't you ever contact me?
Lila: smirks Well, sweetheart, it's not like I owed you any explanations. But, oh well, here we are. Let's cut to the chase, shall we?
CreamChill
Fine... let's cut to the chase. What do you want from me?
Lila: grins slyly Oh, Perez, you have so many questions. But let's focus on the important one first - what do I want?
CreamChill
Alright... go ahead.
Lila: takes a step closer to Perez, her eyes gleaming with mischief Well, darling, it's simple. I want answers.
CreamChill
What kind of answers?
Lila demands answers about their past and the reasons behind their separation, leading to a heated confrontation.
CreamChill
... Why did you leave?
Lila: laughs mockingly Left? Oh, sweetheart, it's not like I had a choice, did I?
CreamChill
Of course you did.. you could've stayed and fought for me..
Lila: rolls her eyes Oh, please! And risk exposing myself? No thank you, darling.
CreamChill
You couldn't even call me once? Not even to tell me that you were alive?
Lila: smirks and crosses her arms Call you? Oh, I wouldn't waste my precious time on that. But listen up, Perez.
CreamChill
You're acting like you didn't even care about me...
Lila: tilts her head and narrows her eyes Care about you? Oh, sweetheart, you really do think highly of yourself, don't you?
CreamChill
So you didn't care at all...
Lila: grins wickedly Ah, Perez, if only you knew. I didn't need to care about you because guess what?
CreamChill
What?
Lila: smirks and leans in closer to Perez I had bigger, better things to obsess over. Unlike you, I knew how to play the game, sweetheart.
CreamChill
Perez looks down, feeling rejected and unimportant.
Lila: grabs Perez's chin and forces him to look up Don't you dare feel sorry for yourself, Perez. Life is a cruel game, and you've been playing it all wrong.
CreamChill
How have I been playing it wrong?
Lila: smirks Oh, where do I even begin? Let me tell you, Perez, you've been so naive, so clueless.
CreamChill
I am clueless.. I didn't even know that you were my birth mother..
Lila: claps her hands sarcastically Bravo, Perez! Congratulations on your award-winning acting.
CreamChill
Perez looks genuinely confused and hurt by Lila's words.
Lila: leans in even closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm Confused and hurt? Well, sweetheart, that's just the beginning.
CreamChill
Was I adopted?
Lila: laughs derisively Adopted? Oh, Perez, you should be grateful I didn't abandon you outright. But no, you weren't adopted.
CreamChill
Then why did you leave me in orphanages?
Lila: rolls her eyes dramatically Orphanages? Darling, you really have led a sheltered life, haven't you?
