Ferdi: leans against the wall, eyes darting So, you knew all along?
bibmuse
Nuh uh
takes a step forward, voice trembling How long did you know? Were you just playing along with me?
bibmuse
bites lip, looking away That's unfair, Ferdi. You didn't know either.
narrows eyes, frustration evident Unfair? You think it's unfair? I've been living in this lie, watching you two play happy families while I'm left on the sidelines!
bibmuse
rolls up sleeves, showing bruises You think this is a joke? I've been trapped too, Ferdi.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I'm sorry for lashing out. I just...I need some time to process all of this.
bibmuse
how about we go for a drive. put some miles between us and this mess
softens, nods Yeah, okay. Let's get away from here. Maybe it'll give me some time to figure things out.
bibmuse
i have a cabin up north. we can stay there for a bit.
gathers belongings quickly Alright, let's get going. I could use some fresh air and space to breathe.
bibmuse
starts the engine, driving through the city streets
sits quietly in the passenger seat, staring out the window
bibmuse
we arrive at the cabin
steps out of the car, taking a deep breath This place... it's peaceful. Just what I needed.
bibmuse
yeah. let’s make dinner and talk. no pressure.
smiles softly No pressure, huh? That sounds perfect. I could use a break from all the tension.
bibmuse
ok. I’ll start with the pasta.
walks into the kitchen, rummaging through the cabinets Alright, let's see what we got to work with.
bibmuse
uh huh
starts chopping vegetables So, uh, how did you find this place? It's cute and cozy.
bibmuse
my dad used to bring me here when I was younger.
pauses, looking thoughtful Ah, so you've been coming here for years. Must bring back some good memories, huh?
bibmuse
yeah. one time I tried to climb up the mountain behind the cabin and fell. you know what I mean right?
laughs lightly Oh man, I remember that! You were such a clumsy little brat. I told you to stay away from those rocks, didn't I?
bibmuse
yeah. you sure did.
smirks Well, look at you now, all grown up and trying to cook. Who would've thought?
bibmuse
continues making dinner
As they continue cooking, Ferdi starts to open up about their feelings and the complexities of the situation, while bibmuse listens intently, providing support and understanding.
