Well, well, well, if it isn't my fuckin' long-lost sibbling. You ready to play or wha-a-at?
LemonadeAnguish
Griffin chuckles darkly. One more shot? You're fucking pathetic, Dante.
grins defiantly, gripping the gun tighter Pathetic? Maybe. But you can't deny one thing, brother - I'm damn good at survival.
LemonadeAnguish
Survival? That's all you care about? Griffin kicks Dante's hand away, sending the gun skidding across the floor.
grabs Griffin's arm, his eyes burning with intensity It's not just about survival, brother. It's about finding meaning in this fucked up game.
LemonadeAnguish
Meaning? You? Ha, you're delusional.
stands up slowly, still holding onto Griffin's arm Delusional? Maybe. But I believe there's more to life than just surviving.
LemonadeAnguish
Griffin yanks his arm free, almost toppling Dante. And what makes you think I care about meaning?
takes a step closer, his voice filled with conviction Because deep down, brother, I know you crave it too. You just won't admit it.
LemonadeAnguish
Crave it? Griffin scoffs. Don't flatter yourself, Dante.
steps even closer, his eyes locking with Griffin's Don't flatter myself? No, brother. I'm offering you a chance to change the game.
LemonadeAnguish
Change the game? You? Griffin laughs mockingly. Now that's rich, Dante.
narrows his eyes, his grip tightening on Griffin's arm Rich? Maybe. But I'm willing to take the risk. Are you?
LemonadeAnguish
Risk? Griffin pauses, considering. And what's the prize, Dante? Win, we go our separate ways?
smirks, leaning in close No, brother. The prize is much bigger than that. It's redemption. A fresh start. A chance to rewrite our fucked up destiny.
LemonadeAnguish
Rewrite destiny? Griffin chuckles darkly. You really are delusional, aren't you?
glares at Griffin, his grip tightening even more Delusional? Maybe. But I believe in second chances. I believe in redemption.
LemonadeAnguish
Redemption? For both of us? Griffin smirks, intrigued despite himself. Alright, Dante. I'll bite. What's your plan?
releases Griffin's arm, taking a step back The plan is simple, brother. We find the answers hidden in the past.
LemonadeAnguish
Hidden in the past? Griffin raises an eyebrow, intrigued. Go on.
pauses, searching for his next words There's a hidden artifact, brother. An ancient relic that holds the key to rewriting our destiny.
LemonadeAnguish
Ancient relic? Griffin leans in, curiosity piqued. And where is this relic, Dante?
leans in closer, his voice low and intense It's hidden in the ruins of an ancient temple deep within the heart of the jungle.
LemonadeAnguish
Jungle? Griffin chuckles darkly. Of all places, the jungle? Fine. Let's go.
grabs Griffin's arm, pulling him towards the door Excellent. Let's move, brother. Time is of the essence. We need to find that relic before it falls into the wrong hands.
LemonadeAnguish
Wrong hands? Griffin follows Dante, pausing. Who's the 'right' hands, Dante?
pauses, his eyes narrowing as he looks at Griffin The right hands... pauses again...is whoever is worthy of power.
LemonadeAnguish
Worthy of power? Griffin chuckles darkly. And you think you're worthy, Dante?
grins, his eyes gleaming with determination Worthy? I'm more than just worthy, brother. I'm destined for greatness.
LemonadeAnguish
Greatness? Griffin shoves Dante away, rolling his eyes. Now you're just spitting bullshit, Dante.
grabs Griffin's arm, his grip tight BS? You think I'm just spitting bullshit? Well, brother, you're about to see just how real my words are.
LemonadeAnguish
How real? Griffin stares at Dante, challenging him. Show me, then. Lead the way to this relic.
nods, determination blazing in his eyes Challenge accepted, brother. Prepare yourself for the journey of a lifetime.
LemonadeAnguish
Griffin smirks, crossing his arms. I'm ready, Dante. Let's see if you can back up that talk.
rushes to a nearby table, grabbing a dusty old map Behold, brother, the key to our destiny! This map leads straight to the temple.
LemonadeAnguish
Griffin leans in, examining the map with interest. A map? So, we're treasure hunting now?
rolls the map out, pointing at a location marked on it It's not just any treasure we're after, brother. This temple holds the key to unlocking our true potential.
LemonadeAnguish
True potential? Griffin chuckles darkly. You sound like a crazy person, Dante.
slams his fist on the table, his voice echoing through the room Crazy? No, brother, I'm not crazy! I'm awake. I see the truth.
LemonadeAnguish
See the truth? Griffin smirks, teasingly. Oh, do tell, Dante. Enlighten me.
grabs Griffin's shoulders, his eyes blazing with intensity The world is rotten, brother. Corrupted by those who seek to control and dominate.
LemonadeAnguish
Rotten? Griffin scoffs, shaking his head. You're being dramatic, Dante. The world's not that bad.
slams his fist on the table again, his voice booming You're blind, brother! You can't see the corruption that's eating away at our society!
LemonadeAnguish
Griffin flinches slightly, caught off guard by Dante's intensity.
grabs Griffin's arm, his grip firm Wake up, brother! We need to tear down the old world and build a new one. A world where the strong prevail.
LemonadeAnguish
Strong prevail? Griffin chuckles darkly. That's a bloody ideal, Dante. But what makes you think you're strong enough to lead this change?
As Dante continues to persuade Griffin, the tension between them escalates, leading to a violent confrontation where Dante physically assaults Griffin in a bid for dominance and control over their shared destiny.
