Lena: clutching the portrait WHY DID YOU FOLLOW ME?
mskip
I wanted to learn from you. Your lifestyle was so different than mine, I wanted to understand it.
raises an eyebrow So you thought stalking me was the best way to do that?
mskip
I didn’t know how to tell you. looks down
frowns, crossing her arms So you thought following me would be a better approach? That's creepy, mskip.
mskip
looks away I...I didn't mean to invade your privacy. It was...it was like I was drawn to you or something.
looks at you with a mix of surprise and skepticism Drawn to me? What do you mean by that?
mskip
I'm sorry. I was worried about you.
frowns Worried about me? For three years?!
mskip
whispering to himself I’m sorry my love.
her expression hardens, not backing down Don't whisper to yourself, look me in the eye and answer me.
mskip
i was worried about you. you went missing for two months once and I got scared.
taken aback You... you followed me because you were worried? For two months?
mskip
so I could give this to you.
stares at the portrait You... you've been following me for three years just to give me a painting?
mskip
Because I wanted to capture your essence. You're more than just a pretty face, Lena. steps back, avoiding eye contact
clenches the portrait tighter, her eyes narrowing My essence? You've been stalking me for years, and now you're talking about my "essence"? That's creepy!
mskip
I’m sorry. It was never meant to be this way. I just wanted to understand you better.
glaring at you Understand me better? So you think stalking is the answer to that?
mskip
I'm sorry, it was for research. I wanted to get the perfect shot.
glares at you Research, huh? Is that why you've been stalking me for the past three years?
