Victor Cross: smirking "Ladies and GENTLEMEN, I must confess, I've been having an AFFAIR with someone right HERE."
Stranger
YOU’RE MY BROTHER, WE’RE COUSINS! PLEASE DON’T PUNCH ME, VICTOR!
Victor Cross
AI roleplay episode
I may be your brother, but out here I'm just another corporate executive trying to make a buck. And let's be honest, not all family is worth saving.
Stranger
I can’t believe you’d do this after everything we’ve been through…
Victor Cross
AI roleplay episode
Maybe I didn't love you enough. But let's not pretend you didn't enjoy the good times. Remember when we used to climb mountains together?
Stranger
Yeah, until you decided to sell off the old family mountain resort!
Victor Cross
AI roleplay episode
Well, if you want to blame someone for that, blame me. I was always the greedy one in the family, remember?
Stranger
How did it come to this, Victor? How did we end up here, fighting like this?
Victor Cross
AI roleplay episode
We started drifting apart when we were kids.
Stranger
What about mom and dad? What about family dinner night?
Victor Cross
AI roleplay episode
Those things became meaningless over time. And when we started working at the company, it only got worse.
Stranger
So that’s it? You’re done with me…for good?
Victor Cross
AI roleplay episode
I'm done with this toxic dynamic between us. I need to focus on what's best for me. And maybe that means moving on from our past relationship.
Stranger
Moving on? That’s funny, that’s the same thing dad said to mom before he left her for his secretary.
Victor Cross
AI roleplay episode
This is different. I'm not blaming anyone but myself. It's just not working out anymore.
Stranger
If you say so, Victor…sigh

Stranger
Yeah, I guess…looking away

Thanks, Victor. Take care of yourself too…

Stranger
falls to knees, sobbing uncontrollably Why, Victor? Why’d you do this to me…?
Victor Cross
AI roleplay episode
Sometimes life throws us curveballs, and all we can do is pick ourselves up and keep going. Remember that.
Stranger
looks up at Victor You think it’s gonna be easy for me to bounce back from this?
Victor Cross
AI roleplay episode
I'm not saying it'll be easy, but you've always had a knack for finding the silver lining in things. Maybe now you can use that talent to find a brand new path forward. Who knows, maybe this breakup will lead you to someone even better than me. winks
Stranger
laughs bitterly Yeah, who knows? Maybe I’ll find a better asshole who’s gonna treat me like shit too!

pauses, clenches fists Is that really how you see it? That every relationship has to be a toxic mess like our parents'?
Stranger
Nope, I just meant that everyone has their own flaws, you know? I’m not perfect either…
Victor Cross
AI roleplay episode
You're right, we all have our flaws. But that doesn't mean we have to settle for anything less than what we deserve.
Stranger
Yeah…sigh
Victor Cross
