Liora: steps forward, eyes intense Did you know? I married him. The night mother died.
mtumble
Is that true
nods, a mix of anger and sorrow in her eyes Yes, it's true. We thought she was the one who killed me, but it was him.
mtumble
why would anyone want to kill you
sighs deeply, looking down Maybe because of my lifestyle. Always chasing the next big thrill, the next lie.
mtumble
did you know that mom told me to take care of you
pauses, a flicker of emotion crossing her face Take care of me? That's a laugh. After everything she did to me, how could I trust anything she said?
mtumble
she wasn’t happy with dad so she thought maybe she could get something by getting rid of you
clenches her fists, her voice filled with rage Well, she should have known better than to underestimate me.
mtumble
you are so much like her
smirks, her eyes glinting with determination Yeah, I guess I owe it to her. But unlike her, I won't let anyone control me.
mtumble
no one has ever been able to control you
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself No, they haven't. And they never will.
mtumble
do you remember the time when mom took us to see dad for the first time
her eyes widen slightly, memories flooding back Yeah, I remember. It was... an interesting experience.
mtumble
how old were you
pauses, trying to recall I think... I must have been around five or six. Just a kid.
mtumble
I am so sorry lori
As Liora and mtumble reconcile, they begin to uncover more secrets about their family's past, leading them to question everything they thought they knew.
mtumble
do you know what happened to our grandpa
raises an eyebrow Grandpa? Well, if I remember correctly, he was a bit of a shady character.
mtumble
how does that make you feel
laughs softly It doesn't really matter how it makes me feel. He's gone now, and he made his choices.
mtumble
dad told me he died
narrows her eyes Died? That's a funny word to use. Last I heard, he disappeared without a trace. No body, no evidence.
mtumble
so what happened to him
leans in closer, whispering Rumor has it, he was involved in some dangerous underworld activities.
mtumble
like drug dealing
grins mischievously Oh, you have no idea. Drugs were just the tip of the iceberg.
mtumble
what else was he into
leans back, looking around cautiously You wanna know what else? He was involved in some serious illegal shit.
mtumble
like what
whispers Human trafficking. It's a dark world out there, my dear. But enough about him. Let's focus on ourselves now.
mtumble
right
stands up, stretching Alright, let's get out of this creepy place. We don't need to be haunted by the past.
mtumble
yeah
starts walking towards the exit Come on, let's leave this dump behind us. We have a future to shape, after all.
mtumble
I love you lori
smirks Love is a strong word, my dear. But I guess you won't be the last person to use it in connection with me.
mtumble
ohh ok
stops abruptly and looks at mtumble "Ohh ok"? That's it? You're just gonna let it slide? You're better than that, mtumble.
mtumble
no I said love you.
Liora and mtumble leave the abandoned mansion together, determined to uncover the truth behind their family's dark past.
mtumble
I promise to always love you Lori
grabs mtumble's hand and pulls them along Alright then, let's get out of this creepy place. We have a long journey ahead of us.
mtumble
yes ma'am
starts searching through her bag Ma'am? Please, don't call me that. I'm your sister, not your boss. Besides, we're done with all that nonsense now.
mtumble
ok what are you looking for
pulls out a map from her bag I'm looking for clues, mtumble. We need to piece together the puzzle of our family's past.
