Lily: glances at a painting D-do you remember this one? We...uh, saw it on our first d-date!
Savannah
yes I do
blushes and looks down I-it's funny... I-I never thought I'd find someone like you. Our connection was...so strong, y'know?
Savannah
yea..
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Look, Savannah... I've been thinking a lot lately. And... I-I want to know if...
Savannah
well…
stutters I-I-I mean... I was wondering if we could maybe...go on another date? Just the two of us, like we used to. No distractions, no expectations...
Savannah
okay
eyes light up, a small smile forms R-really? That would be amazing! I-I mean, not that I'm not happy with our current setup, but...
Savannah
it fine lil as long as we happy
sighs heavily S-Savannah, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about why I've been acting so distant lately...
Savannah
you ain’t been distant
fidgets nervously N-no, not distant...just...conflicted. You see, I've been dealing with some...depressing thoughts lately.
Savannah
okay
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling I've been struggling with feelings of inadequacy, Savannah.
Savannah
why because of your illness?
teary-eyed N-no, it's not because of my illness...it's something else. I've been feeling like I'm not good enough, like I'll never truly be happy.
Savannah
look you are more then good enough and you are happy
takes Savannah's hands in hers Savannah, I appreciate your support, I really do. But I can't keep pretending that everything is okay when it's not.
Savannah
what is wrong
Lily breaks down in tears, revealing a deep-seated secret from her past.
Savannah
is it your illness
sniffles and wipes away her tears No, Savannah, it's not my illness. It's... it's something I did when I was younger. Something I've kept hidden for so long.
Savannah
you promise you’ll tell me
takes a deep breath, her voice shaky I promise, Savannah. I'll tell you everything. But please, be patient with me. It's not an easy thing to admit.
Savannah
okay
looks down at her hands, fidgeting nervously It's...it's a secret I've been carrying for so long, Savannah. I never thought I'd have to share it with anyone, but...
Savannah
but what
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling I... I used to be involved in some dangerous activities.
Savannah
such as
pauses, her eyes darting around nervously I was... I was part of a underground organization, Savannah. They recruited me when I was just a teenager.
