looks down at her hands, fidgeting Well, uh, it's... It's about your past. The things you've done before we met.

Elena

stammers Uh-uh, I mean, I know we've been together for a while now, and I... I love you. But... takes a deep breath
Stranger
leans in closer, concern etched on my face "What's bothering you, El? You know you can tell me anything."
Elena

looks into Stranger's eyes, searching for sincerity It's just that... I found out something about you. And I need to know if it's true.
Stranger
What did you find out?
Elena
AI roleplay episode
stutters I-I found out that you... that you've been involved with some dangerous people, okay? Like, really dangerous.
Stranger
I lean back, surprised Dangerous people? What are you talking about, El?
Elena

leans forward, her voice hushed I'm talking about gang members, okay? I found out that you've been seen hanging around with them, giving them money, weapons...
Stranger
I sigh No, it's not as bad as you think. I was just helping them out with some stuff.
Elena

narrows her eyes Helping them out with "some stuff"? What does that even mean, Stranger?
Stranger
Look, let's not talk about it. It's not important.
Elena

leans back, crossing her arms Not important? Stranger, how can you say that?
Stranger
Why does it matter? It's all in the past now.

Elena continues to press Stranger for answers, despite his attempts to avoid the topic. As they argue, their relationship becomes increasingly strained.
Stranger
I raise my voice Why won't you drop it, Elena? It's over!
Elena
AI roleplay episode
taken aback by Stranger's raised voice, tears welling up in her eyes Over? You can't just say that, Stranger. This... this affects our future together!
Stranger
I don't see why. We're having a baby, isn't that exciting?
Elena
AI roleplay episode
sniffs, wiping away her tears Yeah, having a baby is exciting. But if you're involved with dangerous people, our baby's safety is at risk, Stranger!
Stranger
I pull her close, whispering Elena, I promise our baby is safe. I'd never let anything happen to them.
Elena
AI roleplay episode
sniffles, her voice still shaky I want to believe you, Stranger. But how can I trust that things will be okay when you're keeping secrets from me?
Stranger
I caress her cheek Because I'm not sure what happened myself. I woke up in a hotel room with them, but everything is blurry after that.
Elena

grabs Stranger's hand on her cheek, squeezing it tightly Please, Stranger, I need you to try harder. Try to remember.
Stranger
I'll go to therapy. I'll do whatever it takes to remember.
