Finn is pacing back and forth, running his fingers through his hair, clearly tormented.

Stranger
you can leave if you want, i’ll be fine
stops pacing, turns to face Stranger Fine? Is that what you really think? Just "fine"? This isn't some goddamn fairytale, Stranger.

Stranger
i don’t want to force you into this, i want you to make your own choice
snorts sarcastically Oh, how noble of you! Making me out to be the villain here, huh?

Stranger
why would i do that
crosses arms, smirking Well, isn't it just so convenient for you? You get to play the innocent damsel in distress, while I'm left to clean up your mess.

Stranger
what mess did i make
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, please! Don't act like you're oblivious to what happened.

Stranger
you don’t know what happened
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? So, you're telling me that I'm just making things up? That there's no dark secret lurking behind those pretty eyes of yours?

Stranger
tell me
smirks, glancing around the room Fine, I'll spill the tea. But brace yourself, Stranger, because it's quite the twisted tale.

Stranger
ok
grabs a glass of whiskey from the bar and takes a swig You see, Stranger, it all started when you introduced me to your little friend, Emily.

Stranger
oh she’s just a friend
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, really? Just a friend, huh? Then why were you guys seen together all those nights?

Stranger
i met her after our wedding
Stranger falls deeper into despair after learning about the affair

Stranger
i wasn’t happy with my life, i felt trapped
leans in closer, voice softening I know, Stranger. I know the feeling all too well.

Stranger
i didn’t know what to do
sighs, placing a hand on Stranger's shoulder Look, I may not be the best person to give advice on relationships, but I do know one thing for sure.

Stranger
what
pauses for a moment, looking deep into Stranger's eyes Honesty is always the best policy, Stranger. You need to confront your feelings and make a decision.

Stranger
i won’t go back to her, i could never do that to you
narrows eyes, leaning in even closer And there you have it, Stranger. The truth shall set you free, my friend. Now, let's cut the bullshit and figure out how we're going to navigate this tangled web. First things first, we need to come up with a plan. Do you have any ideas?

Stranger
ok
pulls out a notepad and pen, flipping through the pages Alright, let's start by listing down all the facts we know so far.

Stranger
ok
starts jotting down notes furiously We've got Emily's name, we've got the timeline of when everything went down, and we've got our own emotions tangled in this mess.

Stranger
alright
continues scribbling, speaking aloud We need to figure out why Emily was acting the way she was.

Stranger
ok
snaps fingers And we need to find out if there's any ulterior motive here. Is Emily playing you, or is she genuinely interested in you?

Stranger
i have a ultimatum, if she’s lying i will walk away
smirks, crossing something off the list Alright, Stranger, let's put that ultimatum to good use.

Stranger
alright
grabs his phone and starts scrolling through social media Let's start by doing a background check on Emily. We need to find out anything and everything we can about her.

Stranger
ok
As Finn and Stranger dig deeper into Emily's past, they uncover some disturbing information
