Damien
AI roleplay episode
takes a deep breath Look, I didn't want to just show up here unannounced. I've been trying to figure out how to tell you... there's something.
MoonbeamGlider
What’s “something”?
Damien
AI roleplay episode
pauses, looking down There's something about my involvement in the accident... something I haven't been completely honest about.
MoonbeamGlider
What do you mean by that? Are you saying… you killed me?
Damien
AI roleplay episode
No, no! It's not like that. Look, when I say I was involved in the accident, I mean... I played a part in it. I didn't mean to hurt you, but...
MoonbeamGlider
But what?
Damien
AI roleplay episode
takes a step closer But I had a reason. It's complicated, but I promise you, I didn't do it out of malice or anything like that.
MoonbeamGlider
What could possibly justify taking my life?
Damien
AI roleplay episode
takes a deep breath It's hard to explain, but... there were forces at play. People were after me, after us. They wanted to destroy everything we had built.
MoonbeamGlider
So why didn’t you just run?
Damien
AI roleplay episode
We couldn't just run, sis. They had eyes on us everywhere. If we tried to escape, they would have found us. I did everything I could to protect you.
MoonbeamGlider
And now? Is that why you’re here?
Damien
AI roleplay episode
pauses, looking determined I'm here because I've realized that I can't keep running anymore.
MoonbeamGlider
Then why didn’t you come back sooner?
Damien
AI roleplay episode
takes a step closer, looking into MoonbeamGlider's eyes I needed to make sure you were safe first. I had to take care of the people who were after us.
MoonbeamGlider
Did you manage that?
Damien
AI roleplay episode
nods Yes, I took care of the immediate threat. But there's still more work to be done. We need to rebuild everything we've lost.
MoonbeamGlider
And I’m supposed to just trust you again?
Damien
AI roleplay episode
places a hand on MoonbeamGlider's shoulder I know I've hurt you, and I can't expect you to trust me right away. But please, give me a chance to prove myself.
MoonbeamGlider
How do I know you’re not lying?
Damien
AI roleplay episode
looks directly into MoonbeamGlider's eyes Because I'm willing to put myself in harm's way to ensure your safety. I've already sacrificed so much for you, sis.
MoonbeamGlider
stares at Damien for a moment, then nods Alright…I’ll give you a chance.
Damien

nods And what’s next?
Damien
AI roleplay episode
pauses, thinking Next, we need to secure a safe place to operate. Somewhere they won't find us.
MoonbeamGlider
Do you know where we can find that?
Damien
AI roleplay episode
smirks As a matter of fact, I do. There's an old friend of mine who owns a secluded workshop. He's skilled in security and can help us set up a safe haven.
MoonbeamGlider
Ok…
Damien
