Mary: sitting on the couch Hold my hand, won't you?
Darkim
Sure. hold your hand
nervously glancing around Are you sure you're comfortable with this? I mean, holding hands and all...
Darkim
Yeah, sis. Don't worry about it. Just like old times.
smiling softly You remember how much I used to hold your hand when we were kids, don't you?
Darkim
Yeah, I remember. You always made me feel safe.
gently squeezes Darkim's hand Oh, how I wish I could take us back to those simpler days.
Darkim
Me too, sis. Me too.
leans in closer, whispering Darkim, there's something I need to tell you. Something... important.
Darkim
What is it, sis? You're making me nervous.
takes a deep breath Well, you know how I've always been so... submissive?
Darkim
Yes, I remember.
pauses, then looks determined I've been doing some soul-searching lately, and I realized that maybe it's time for me to change.
Darkim
Change? That's big, sis. What kind of change are you talking about?
takes a deep breath I've decided that it's time for me to break free from the chains of my past.
Darkim
Wow, sis. That's...that's a pretty bold statement. How did you come to this decision?
leans back, looking determined Well, it all started when I realized that I couldn't keep living my life according to other people's expectations.
Darkim
I get it, sis. We've both been there, haven't we? But how do you plan on breaking free?
stands up, clenching her fists First, I'm going to start standing up for myself more. No more letting others walk all over me.
Darkim
Hell yeah, sis! About time you stood up for yourself. But what else? What's your plan?
grins, excitement in her eyes Oh, Darkim, I've got a whole list of things planned.
Darkim
Alright, sis. Let's hear it then. What's on your list?
Mary embarks on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, seeking guidance from mentors and role models to help her redefine her identity and break free from her past.
Darkim
That's great to hear, sis. You've always had a strong spirit, I knew you'd bounce back.
reaches out and holds Darkim's hand tighter Thank you, Darkim. Your support means the world to me.
Darkim
Anything for you, sis. You're my favorite sister.
grinning mischievously Well, Darkim, now that I'm feeling empowered, I think it's time we shake things up a bit. How about we go out tonight and have some fun?
Darkim
Sure, sis. Sounds like a plan. Where are we going?
laughs playfully Well, Darkim, how about we go to that new karaoke bar downtown?
Darkim
A karaoke bar, huh? chuckles Sounds like a blast, sis. Let's do it!
jumps up excitedly Great! We'll have a drink or two, belt out our favorite tunes, and let loose! It's been ages since we've had fun like that.
Darkim
laughs A karaoke bar it is, sis! Haven't had that much fun in ages.
starts rummaging through her closet, pulling out vibrant, flashy clothing Alright, Darkim, if we're going to rock that karaoke stage, we need to dress the part!
