speaks softly, eyes teary I... I made a mistake. Please, I need you to forgive me.
Stranger
what happened
takes a deep breath, fidgeting with her hands I cheated on you, Stranger. I betrayed your trust, and I don't expect you to forgive me easily.
Stranger
please tell me who did you cheat with
sighs heavily, avoiding eye contact It doesn't matter who it was.
Stranger
if you want me to help you, i need to know who he is so i can beat his ass
shaking her head No, Stranger, violence won't solve anything. This isn't about physical revenge. It's about healing and rebuilding our trust.
Stranger
pls i need to know
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Alright, Stranger, I'll tell you. But promise me you won't do anything drastic.
Stranger
i wont
takes a shaky breath His name is Mark. We worked together. It was a mistake, a moment of weakness. I'm so sorry, Stranger.
Stranger

teary-eyed, voice trembling I don't know, Stranger.
Stranger
i thought you loved me
sighs heavily, sits down beside Stranger I do love you, Stranger. I love you more than anything in this world.
Stranger

<Stranger asks for some time apart to process everything>
Stranger

nods solemnly, wipes away tears I understand, Stranger. Take all the time you need. Just know that my love for you hasn't wavered.
Stranger

speaks softly, eyes still teary It's okay, Stranger. We both made mistakes. I forgive you, just as I hope you forgive me.
Stranger

stands up, determination in her eyes Thank you, Stranger. While you have your space, I'll be taking some time for self-reflection as well.
Stranger
take all the time you need
takes a deep breath, gathers her belongings Alright, Stranger. I'll be staying at my sister's place for a while.
Stranger
ok i will see you later bye
nods, mustering a small smile Bye, Stranger. Take care of yourself.
Stranger

exits the room quickly, wiping away tears I can't believe I let myself fall so low. I need to get my head back in the game and focus on myself.
Stranger
he gets in his room starts working out to get his mind off things he has been stressed about
rushes to her sister's house, knocking on the door frantically Open up, sis! It's Lana! Sister: opens the door, surprised Lana? What's wrong?
Stranger
he continues to work out after some hours of working out he decides to shower and get dressed and finally go to bed
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself It's been a few weeks, sis. I just... I needed to get away from everything. I messed up, you know?
Stranger
i missed you dear what happened
fidgets nervously, looks down I cheated on Stranger, sis. I betrayed his trust, and I don't even know why. I thought I could handle the temptation..
Stranger

<Lana's sister consoles her and encourages her to confess to Stranger>
Stranger
whats wrong dear
teary-eyed, sniffles I... I told him, Stranger. I confessed everything. It was so hard, but I couldn't keep living with the guilt.
Stranger

sniffs, wipes away her tears He said he needed space, sis. I understand, but it hurts...
