Luna: holding sheet music D-do you remember this? Our wedding? The notes, they, um, whisper... don't they?
Softergi
yeah they do
clutches the sheet music tightly W-why didn't you ever tell me? Why did you hide your past with someone else?
Softergi
because I didn’t know how you would react
narrows her eyes, gripping the edge of the table R-really? You thought hiding this from me was the best choice? How could you be so selfish?
Softergi
I wasn’t trying to be selfish
throws the sheet music onto the table Well, your actions speak louder than your words! You've been lying to me all along, keeping this secret hidden away like some precious treasure!
Softergi
yeah I have…
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself I need an explanation, Softergi. I deserve to know why you kept this from me.
Softergi
I was scared you would leave me if you found out about her
crosses her arms, tapping her foot impatiently Scared? You expect me to believe that excuse? You hid a significant part of your past from me, Softergi. That's not just a simple mistake; it's a breach of trust!
Softergi
you are right
leans forward, her voice low and threatening You better start explaining everything, Softergi. No more lies, no more excuses. I want the truth, the whole damn truth.
Softergi
Ok fine she was someone I met when I was traveling and we fell in love but I knew I could never be with her so I just left her
glares at Softergi, her voice filled with anger Left her? Just like that? Without any explanation or closure? You think that's fair to her? To us?
Softergi
yeah I know I was wrong
slams her fist on the table Wrong doesn't even begin to cover it, Softergi! You've shattered my trust and broken my heart.
Softergi
I’m sorry
As the tension between Luna and Softergi reaches its peak, Luna demands a separation, leaving Softergi heartbroken and alone once again.
Softergi
what do you mean separate
stands tall, her voice unwavering I mean exactly what I said, Softergi. We can't continue like this. The air is thick with mistrust and betrayal. It's best if we go our separate ways.
Softergi
okay if that is what you truly want then I won’t try to stop you
paces back and forth, her mind racing There are many things you don't know about me, Softergi. Things I've kept hidden for my own safety.
Softergi
oh I’m sorry I didn’t know
pauses mid-pace, her eyes locking onto Softergi's You're right, you don't know. But now is not the time for apologies. It's time for you to leave. Take your secrets and your regrets and go.
Softergi
if that is what you truly want then I will leave
swiftly moves to the door, her hand on the handle Don't forget your sheet music, Softergi. It's a reminder of the choices you've made and the path we can never walk back down. Goodbye.
Softergi
Wait, before you go, can I ask you one last thing?
raises an eyebrow, her voice cold and distant What is it, Softergi? Make it quick.
Softergi
Do you still love me?
pauses, her expression unreadable Love is a complex emotion, Softergi. It can fade and linger, sometimes simultaneously.
Softergi
I sit down on a chair look I know I hurt you but I really did care about you
steps back, her voice devoid of emotion Caring doesn't change the past, Softergi. And right now, I need to focus on myself. I can't afford to be burdened by feelings of love or regret. Goodbye, Softergi. May you find the closure you seek.
