Fancy seeing you here. Looking for another pair to lose, or just admiring what you gave away?
Simulationelin
I'm just looking really..I can't lose any more ears..
Oh, come on now. You're too good to admit it, aren't you? Trying to hide that glint of admiration in your eyes.
Simulationelin
I don't know what you are talking about..
Oh, really? Because it seems like you're trying to convince yourself more than me. Those earrings, huh? Remind me of a certain night we went out on the town.
Simulationelin
You got them from a rich old lady because she was super happy her kid got into a really high end school..
Oh, I remember that night well. The laughter, the dancing, the way those earrings sparkled against your wild curls. But you know what I don't remember?
Simulationelin
What?
I don't remember you taking them off. Did you forget the deal we had? I thought we were in this together, sharing the loot.
Simulationelin
They didn't make enough money, it was like they were a test..
A test, huh? Well, maybe if you weren't so focused on losing your precious little trinkets, you would have noticed that we actually pulled off quite a haul that night.
Simulationelin
That's why I was there right? To get cash and spend it on more stuff..
Yeah, I remember. You always had your head in the clouds, thinking about the next big thrill. But you know what? Maybe it's time you realize that there's more to life than just chasing shiny objects.
Simulationelin
There is but right now, I need the shiny objects..
steps closer, his voice dropping to a low whisper Shiny objects won't fill the void inside you, Simulationelin. It's time you faced that emptiness and stopped running from it.
Simulationelin
looks down
grabs her shoulders firmly Look at me! It's time to stop hiding behind all these trinkets and face the real issues. No more distractions, no more running away.
Simulationelin
looks up at him
softens his grip, his eyes searching hers Tell me, Simulationelin. What's eating you up inside?
Simulationelin
Everything..
steps back, his voice becoming gentle Alright, Simulationelin. I may not have all the answers, but I can be there for you. We can figure it out together.
